There have been singers who have been around and entertaining for quite a few years. Some of them have even disappeared from the scene and passed away, but their music still continues to thrive. One performer that just seems to be timeless, both in his music and in his ability to entertain is Rod Stewart. If you’ve ever had an opportunity to see one of his concerts, you realize that he is energy personified and he is all about the entertainment factor, regardless of what song he is singing. Over the years, Rod Stewart has softened to a certain extent but he still continues to be someone that is well worth watching live and on video.
Some people would argue that there is a definite difference between the Rod Stewart from several decades ago and the Rod Stewart that we see today. When you hear him singing, his voice is very much the same but the thing that has changed is the music that he performs. Although he continues to play some of the old classics that have thrilled audiences for many years, he has also picked up on singing some of the even older classics, those that have been around for many decades and were sung by Frank Sinatra and performers with a similar style. As it turns out, Rod Stewart has a voice that is perfectly suited for that music, so it just adds another dynamic to his ability to entertain.
In the video that you see below, Rod Stewart is singing “I Don’t Want to Talk about It” and he has the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing along with him. It’s an absolute delight to hear him performing with such a backup band.
Rod Stewart is not going to be around forever but his music will continue to play for many years to come. This includes both the old and the new, which seem to blend very nicely when he sings them.
