Rod had an uncanny knack of choosing covers and making them sound like his might have been the original. First Cut is the Deepest, You Keep Me Haning On, I'd Rather Go Blind, Angel, Handbags and Gladrags, Mama You Been On My Mind, Oh No Not My Baby, Sailing etc
c'est vrai à l'époque il n'y avait que les cassettes...........et j'ai encore la cassette de Rod......nos chansons........de mon mari et moi...........
EVERYTHING ROD DOES IS AMAZING INCLUDING THE MAN HIMSELF. I LOVE YOU ROD YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY LIFE FOR OVER 40 YEARS, WE HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN MOST MARRAGES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC, YOU ARE THE BEST, LUV YER X XX X
Remember the 70's playing Rod on the car cassette player. Long hot summers and the women in my life. Long hair and sideburns with bell bottom strides and those mini skirts Wow. We had it all and didn't know it at the time. Don't listen to Rod now, he was at his best in the 70's then like other rock stars lost it for the quick buck. Sad.
@harmonirie another music lover. Tim was a folkie from the early to mid 60's. he also wrote If I were a carpenter..for Bobby Darrin. Bobby then wrote a song for him. We don't want no war.
@supernevile It's funny what the public decides is appealing music and what isn't. Today's standards are perfect example of that. Maggie May was an OK song but Reason to Believe is a far superior song and it calls for a more nuance effort then screaming at the top of one's lungs that Stewart had to do when singing Maggie May!
@chuckbuckbobuck That's your opinion and what's more, there is no screaming on 'Maggie May'....exaggerating to prove a point doesn't make it any more convincing.
B side is 6 million times than his banal hit "Maggie May". This song is so visceral, so honest and perhaps so earnestly sung that I can't figure out why it wasn't a number 1 hit for months back in 1970! Just such a great song, such great instrumentation!
@chuckbuckbobuck I agree This was the original A side until the otherside was played more on the radio. I bought MM and was bowled over by the B side which I had never heard, especially the piano. Learned the piano riffs to impress the girls (didnt work tho').
@SuperNevile would have thought that would impress terribly..bad luck..am very sorry that didn't work..clearly your audience wasn't correctly educated!
DestinyShadow1, I remember it got airplay in the U.S. but it was never a real big hit like Maggie May, man they ran that one straight into the ground. You will get sick of even a great song if they play it too many times.
If American Idol's Paul McDonald had done THIS song, rather than the top 40 Maggie Mae, we might still be listening to his amazing voice. He could actually do this song right. I'm so sorry AI pushed the commercial on an artist like Paul.
If I ever get married again this is my song I want played at the wedding. I always joke that maybe I could get Rod to come and sing it for us. Of course, I am nobody and I doubt he would (what can I offer him, a slice of cake) but it is one of my fantasies. This song goes for the gut and I remember hearing it in high school in the early 70's from the juke box in the cafeteria. Boy does that date me.
Ha! This reminds me why my ex wives are EX wives.. I can't stand a lying bitch.. of either sex.. Lie to me even once about a penny and you're out the fucking door now..
I ain't got the time to cry anymore. I'm to old for that shit.
To all you Clemson Tigers fans (like myself) and Carolina Panthers fans (again, like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Brentston Buckner came into the world (September 30, 1971).
This song means alot to me, it was my moms song to my dad. He passed away this past August...Sometimes its hard for me to listen to but its such a beautiful song. RIP Daddy I love u and miss u more then n e thing
The song goes back further than 40 years and Rod Stewart didn't write it. It was written by Tim Hardin, who recorded it in 1965. Bobby Darin also recorded it in 1966.
a lovely lovely song rods version is so much soulfull still cant believe 40 years ago so many memories tied to this song my kids and now grandkids fuksake ive really found a reason to believe enjoy it folks
I've never liked anything more than his early stuff. I like the fact that he's done so many different things - even though I haven't liked them all. I give him credit for taking career risks to pursue his goals and sing what he feels. But I *always* come back to the early songs.
This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. The first concert I ever saw was Rod Stewart and Bad Finger back in 1971. I have been a Rod Stewart fan ever since. And I look forward to his new tour with Stevie Nicks. Peace.
I looooove this song. I used to listen to it while sitting in the back seat of my mom's car... driving to nowhere. Good writing here R.Stewart. You gave me a reason to keep living, depsite hard hard times where I wanted to give up. Thank you.
@harmonirie I love your comment, as my daughter would probably have a similar memory, riding in the back seat of my car! Actually it's a folk tune written by Tim Hardin! Rod Stewart really brings it to life!!
This is one of those rare cases where after you hear Rod's version, all other versions need to just crawl off and die. Even versions by normally great artists like Jackie deShannon.
Wow drinking gin mixed with snow and going back to my high school girlfriends house and throwing this lp on the player and making out thank you Rod and Carliss for all those precious memories...... God bless both of you!

You started it. Anyway, I love the three so-called 'classic' Rod albums. 'Every Picture Tells A Story', 'Smiler' and 'Never A Dull Moment'. And of course The Faces were great too........but not as good as Free.

@ScotRanger1960 Great song. Don't know what the 'Celtic supporter' thing has got to do with anything though. I'm a Rangers fan, doesn't stop liking this song.
@magilojoh In fact Reason to Believe was the A side and Maggie May the B side, a D.J. on a east coast radio station liked the B side better , played the B side and the rest is history ..
@luckitz I can understand why but a little organ wouldn't have hurt Tim. Ever heard Neil Young's I am a Child? I read that he is doing a great Tim Hardin imitation ..do you know if they mean any particular song or just is general? Rod's version is good too.
I agree with Chapelierfoudre - Stewart's music before 1975 was his best. After 1975, he started singing "IF YOU THINK I'M SEXY AND YOU WANT MY BODY ..." Just rubbish. Music in general sure changed after 1975.
This song is such a beautiful hrowback to a bygone British sound. The organ fill is tremendous. The lyrics are truthful exprestsion. It is still powerful and touching.
Agreed. Never realised that Rod came as a normal blues singer in to the Faces as a normal blues band, just shows you, any one can do it!! Saw his early stuff natural blues folk singer!!
I was in my very early 20s when this album was released. This song was originally released in the mid-60s as the A side of a 45 rpm, Maggie Mae the flip side but Maggie Mae was more popular and future prints of the 45 reversed this to the B side. I always liked this song and this time period for Rod Stewart.
I thought it was released in '71 or so. I love Rod Stewart even though we're as old as he is now..HAHA We have a little border terrier that my husband named Maggie MAY...his favorite song when we were old hippies! I wish that the Michael Grimm (the new talent on AGT) would sing Reason to Believe with his voice he could pull this one off. Reminded me last night of Rod Stewart.
none of his stuff is rubbish, im an 80'S baby and can apprecite an artist in every era and the fact he has moved with the times Rod is to remembered by all who understand his music and the meaning behind it
simply fantastic - a wonderful cover of a great Tim Hardin song. It just shows what a great album this was when this was not perhaps the best song on it - and this is pretty excellent.
Used to dance to this at our local disco back in the early 70's, always thought it was a better song than Maggie Mae. Great memories, great song, great singer. Thanx
lots of artists use other peoples material, Tim Hardin might of wrote it, but Rod Stewart CAN sing it way better.

@luckitz I can understand why but a little organ wouldn't have hurt Tim. Ever heard Neil Young's I am a Child? I read that he is doing a great Tim Hardin imitation ..do you know if they mean any particular song or just is general? Rod's version is good too.

I agree with Chapelierfoudre - Stewart's music before 1975 was his best. After 1975, he started singing "IF YOU THINK I'M SEXY AND YOU WANT MY BODY ..." Just rubbish. Music in general sure changed after 1975.

I bought the Mercury 8 track of Every Picture Tells A Story in the Summer 1972. It was a beautiful Blue color. Still have it and also on CD.

This song is such a beautiful hrowback to a bygone British sound. The organ fill is tremendous. The lyrics are truthful exprestsion. It is still powerful and touching.

Agreed. Never realised that Rod came as a normal blues singer in to the Faces as a normal blues band, just shows you, any one can do it!! Saw his early stuff natural blues folk singer!!

Hardin wrote the song....But Stewart made it his. What a visceral version.....

I was in my very early 20s when this album was released. This song was originally released in the mid-60s as the A side of a 45 rpm, Maggie Mae the flip side but Maggie Mae was more popular and future prints of the 45 reversed this to the B side. I always liked this song and this time period for Rod Stewart.

I thought it was released in '71 or so. I love Rod Stewart even though we're as old as he is now..HAHA We have a little border terrier that my husband named Maggie MAY...his favorite song when we were old hippies! I wish that the Michael Grimm (the new talent on AGT) would sing Reason to Believe with his voice he could pull this one off. Reminded me last night of Rod Stewart.

none of his stuff is rubbish, im an 80'S baby and can apprecite an artist in every era and the fact he has moved with the times Rod is to remembered by all who understand his music and the meaning behind it

simply fantastic - a wonderful cover of a great Tim Hardin song. It just shows what a great album this was when this was not perhaps the best song on it - and this is pretty excellent.

Used to dance to this at our local disco back in the early 70's, always thought it was a better song than Maggie Mae. Great memories, great song, great singer. Thanx
