The latter part of the decade brought Stewart fame when he joined two more bands – The Jeff Beck Group, and the Faces – and embarked upon a solo career, releasing his debut studio album, An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down, in 1969. Stewart began his career as a busker, playing harmonica and singing on the streets of Europe throughout the early-1960s, before lending his talents to two little-known bands: The Dimensions, and Long John Baldry and the All Stars. With a staggering 120 million albums sold globally throughout his unparalleled career, British singer, songwriter and musician Rod Stewart is one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time.
