Too often, we forget where a musician came from as time goes by. Although it is essential to recognize that, before some of the most popular Rock-n-Roll singers went ‘solo,’ they were most definitely once a part of a band.
The same could be said for Eric Carmen (who led the Raspberries before embarking on a very successful solo career), Eric Clapton (who was a part of bands like The Yardbirds and Cream before becoming a solo household name), and Peter Gabriel (who fronted Genesis before a massive solo career).
The list goes on and on, and one name no one should forget is Rod Stewart, who, before becoming a mega Pop Rock star in the 1970s and early 1980s, was the lead singer of Faces.
