Rod Stewart, the name, the legend. The Scottish singer has dominated the charts and the world's stages for more than 25 years. Hits such as "Tonight's The Night", "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" and "Have I Told You Lately" have made him famous, and the music industry has been unimaginable without him ever since. In 2002, Stewart released a collection of jazz standards called It Had To Be You - The Great American Songbook. Following the success of this album and several platinum awards, he released four more albums of this material; in total, the extremely popular and successful "Great American Songbook" albums have sold more than 17 million copies worldwide.
