Rod Stewart in his 'American Songbook' phase. Amy Belle earned a living busking on the streets of Glasgow before she was spotted by a friend of Rod Stewart, and here she is performing live on stage with the man himself.
She was spotted by a friend of Rod Stewart's busking outside an underground station in Glasgow and within five days she was working alongside Rod and had been invited to appear at a special concert for the Prince's Trust.
The second video is Rod Stewart live on stage with his old friend Chrissie Hynde

ReplyDeletetoo noisy here right now
ReplyDeletewill have to give it a listen later

Of course I've heard a lot of Rod Stewart, he is a favorite of my my wife. I have not heard of Amy Belle or Chrissie Hynde before. I do like his American Songbook selections, they are often played on the radio.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story about Amy Belle. She has a great voice and a beautiful smile.
ReplyDeleteI can understand not knowing Amy Belle...but come on Frank, how can you not know Chrissie Hynde? The Pretenders?
ReplyDeletei finally got a listen
ReplyDeleterod is great and i like amy belle
chrissie is from akron, ohio right down the road from me
you can tell she has been in england a while by her accent
:)
nice tunes, thanks ma'am.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mitch here, was sure you would know Chrissie Hynde, she is very well known here because she sang with the Pretenders. But Amy is not very well known, she was busking not long ago and not many people know of her. For someone who is used to playing outside a railway station I thought she put on a pretty good performance
ReplyDeletetalent is everywhere
ReplyDeleteeric clapton once said that with his own talent and the great ones he has known
that there is far greater unknown in the southern dalta that just play for love
