Rod Stewart Almost Passed on the Song That Became His Final Big Hit

Legendary British singer Rod Stewarthas set himself apart from other rock and pop artists with his raspy voice and by penning catchy tunes like "Baby Jane" and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy." As one of music's best-selling artists of all time, his prolific work spans over six decades, having collaborated with other famous artists, including Paul McCartney and Elton John, among others. And as the now 80-year-old father of eight prepares for his final bow by embarking on a sold-out world tour, fans and music aficionados alike are reminiscing on his spectacular career. One of the most notable moments was a song that he initially refused to perform but later became one of his biggest hits.
