Annual version match under review

The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.

The actual retained annual candidate is dated 1993 and does not specify a performance. The selected Vagabond Heart studio recording is from 1991, while the label separately documents a 1993 Unplugged performance. Keep the annual link provisional until its version is identified.

ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart is a British singer whose rasping voice connects blues, folk, soul and popular ballads. His early performing work included the Jeff Beck Group and Faces, while a parallel solo career produced Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story. Maggie May and You Wear It Well paired storytelling with acoustic textures and rock rhythms. Later recordings broadened his repertoire through interpretations of songs such as Sailing and Downtown Train. Guitarist Ronnie Wood was an important collaborator in Stewart's early solo work.
