• Musical Evolution

  Stewart's early solo work was an airy blend of folk rock blues and classic soul (particularly Sam Cooke). His first four solo efforts were critically acclaimed and many of Stewart's original compositions from this period remain FM radio staples, including "Maggie May" and "You Wear It Well." Stewart's turn toward commercial pop—and his increasing reliance on material from other songwriters—began with 1975's Atlantic Crossing, then spiraled to the disco-influenced Blondes Have More Fun and a 1980s career as a celebrity sex symbol. In the early 1990s, Stewart tentatively returned to his original style, and then saw another surge in popularity with a four volume series of albums covering classic pop standards, The Great American Songbook.
