The musician Rod Stewart had all it takes to be a superstar. His songs touched a nerve, and his stage show was wild - he flung the mike around like a skipping rope, his performance was breathtaking. He even made it big in America, all it took was the mega hit Sailing. In the 70s he was the perfect teen pin-up with his extreme hair, kinky clothing, rebellious rock musik, great charisma and on top of all that an unmistakable grating voice. His style worked out - the world's most beautiful women fell for him head over heels, and songs like Maggie May, Sailing, Da Ya Think I'm Sexy can hardly be forgotten.. This book follows Rod Stewart from his breakthrough in England all the way to the top of the international music scene. From humble beginnings, Rod Stewart's career continues to soar. In 1994 he received the American Music Award for his life's work. In 2004 he published a new album: Stardust - The Great American Songbook III, it went straight to the top of the American charts. The last time he'd been up there with one of his songs was 25 years earlier with the album Blondes Have More Fun.

The Sweet started out with very typical basic fare - the "bubble-gum music" of the early 70s. Their songs "Big Wam Bum", "Poppa Joe" and "Co Co" became solid disco fox hits. However, these boys also managed to net the rock fans when they turned around on their style with songs such as "Teenage Rampage", "Ballroom Blitz", "Block Buster", "Fox on the run" and their top hit "Love is like Oxygen". Up to this day these are the essence of The Sweet for a great many people. Brian Connolly left the band in 1979 to start another The New Sweet. He died of a heart attack in 1997. The other three kept the project going for a long time. However, Mick Tucker died of leukemia in 2002. Steve Priest lives in the US, his musical output seems limited to his private needs. Only Andy Scott is still on the road, he put a new band together still called The Sweet, and he wrote a beautiful word of greeting for this volume. This is by far the largest volume ever published on The Sweet, illustrated and produced with lavish attention to detail, in a large format and in color throughout with just a few exceptions. It contains numerous photographs that have never been published before - a delight for every true fan! Bubi Heilemann provides in-depth information of his time with the band and the photo sessions.
