Don't Leave Me Hanging on the Line

We're going to leave our "Rod Stewart September" behind as we leave this great month and head to October but not before we leave you with Rod Stewart at his best... his hair is in peak condition and who else can wear a red tank top, yellow pants and a blue blazer and pull it off like nobody's business?... i was worried that he was going to stick his tongue in his guitarist's ear a few different occasions throughout the video, but he resisted and all for the love of, possibly my favorite Rod Stewart song, "Baby Jane"...

Somebody Somewhere

Love the pants in this video... in fact, I'm wearing a pair just like it right now... as our Rod Stewart September rolls on the only thing is that Rod makes me sick with his constant bouncing up and down during this early early 80's video... here is "Passion"...

You Got Me Never Knowing if I'm Coming or Going

Today's Rod Stewart feature in our "Rod Stewart September" is an excellent duet with Ronald Isley... their voices suit each other and plus this was an Isley Brothers' hit back in the 60's... Rod brought it up to date and helped make it a big hit for him in late 1989... here is "This Old Heart of Mine"...

Some Guys Have All the Luck

How much do you think today's "Rod Stewart September" video cost? 100 bucks? 200? I like the song, but man I couldn't watch this video through more than once back when it came out and still bores me to tears today... though I like Rod's red shoes in the video, whomever thought "let's shoot 4 minutes of Rod dancing around with various backgrounds and call it good" should not have been doing music videos... anyway, here is "Some Guys Have All the Luck" (and my apologies for not finding a better embeddable video of it... i hate when the music and video don't go together properly)...

You Don't Need No Baggage, You Just Get On Board

Rod Stewart in his early beginnings was part of the Jeff Beck Group, but after years as a successful solo artist he reunited with his old buddy Jeff Beck, who was one of the three noted guitarists of the Yardbirds (the others being Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page) for this excellent remake of a Curtis Mayfield song - "People Get Ready"...

Young Hearts Be Free Tonight

Time is on your side... don't let 'em push you around... don't let 'em change your point of view... Mr. Rod Stewart burst onto America's radar in the early 70's and throughout the decade with songs like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" "Hot Legs," "You Wear It Well," and "Maggie May"... He got his start in the Jeff Beck Band and the group Faces, but by the time MTV rolled around, Stewart was in top solo form, and for most of the 80's, received a lot of air play with numerous hits... The Excellent 80's is dubbing this a "Rod Stewart September" and we're kicking it off with one of my favorite Rod Stewart songs "Young Turks"...
