    "It only lasted 3 seconds, but left a 'large stain' the rest of my life."
    Then he musingly looks at the camera & smiles.
    Smooth, Rod. 😂⚡🔥

    Thanks for all the years, gentlemen.

      @dogfase515 Very true! McCartney recorded Goodnight Tonight, Elton recorded a couple of disco tinged tunes as well. It was a trend. Do Ya Think I’m Sexy is a well written song. I remember reading a Playboy interview with Randy Newman where the interviewer asked him who he liked as songwriters. He said that he thought Rod was really under appreciated as a songwriter. He said he admired Rod’s ability to tell a full story, beginning middle and end, in a short time frame!

      I don't see why it's "selling out" to sing a song that reflects the culture and taste of the audience at the time that the artist is performing it. "Do ya think I'm Sexy" was a fun song, and to see Rod shake his little tushy at the audience when he sang it in concert was great fun too. Lighten up, everyone.

    What a pity that the subject matter of Maggie May only gets a cursory mention right at the end of the interview in this video . Rod Stewarts’ best work was at the beginning of his career , not the Do You Think I’m Sexy phase . I’d like to know his motivation for Maggie May & You Wear It Well , In a Broken Dream ( Python Lee Jackson ) & his life generally in detail , when he was hungry & strapped for cash , his journey with The Faces , his expectations at that time . He was utterly brilliant , so dig deep & find the soul of this artist at his origin . Not some fluff stuff that skates around the periphery !!
