Rod Stewart: The Visual Documentary is the first fully illustrated biography of Rod Stewart where every known fact about Stewart is included: bands, concerts, records, lifetsyle -- from playing harmonica in Jimmy Powell's Dimensions in 1963 to headlining solo at Wembley Stadium in 1991. Rod Stewart: The Visual Documentary is thoroughly researched and lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photos (many from the Stewart family's personal collection). Complete with a detailed discography and a chronology that lists ever gig Stewart has performed, whether as a member of a band (The Dimensions, The Hoochie Coochie Men, Steam Packet, Shotgun Express, The Jeff Beck Group, and The Faces) or as a solo performer. Also included are quotes from Stewart covering every aspect of his long career and roller-coaster love life. Rod Stewart: The Visual Documentary is the only definitive source of Rod Stewart information in print and faithfully compiled by John Gray who is president of The Official Rod Stewart Fan Club and editor of "Smiler", the Rod Stewart magazine. Comprehensive, definitive, a "must" for all Rod Stewart fans and 20th century musicologists!
