Blondes Have More Fun (1978) and its disco-tinged " Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" both went to number one in Canada, Australia and the US, with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" also hitting number one in the UK and the top ten in other countries. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) featured the major hit " You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". That album's " Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" spent almost two months at number one in the US and Canada, and made the top five in other countries. A Night on the Town (1976), his fifth straight chart-topper in the UK, began a three-album run of going number one or top three in North America, the UK and Australia with each release. His next few singles were ballads with " Sailing", off the 1975 UK and Australian number-one album, Atlantic Crossing, becoming a hit in the UK and the Netherlands (number one), Germany (number four) and other countries, but barely charting in North America. Its single, " You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.Īfter a handful more UK top ten hits, Stewart announced the breakup of the Faces in 1975. His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, also reached number one in the UK and Australia, while going top three in the US and Canada. His third album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, as did its ballad " Maggie May". Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. Joining Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut album that same year.
