The song was written in the 1960s by the group's keyboard player and singer, Dave Bentley. Believing his vocals were not correct for the song, and being in the UK in the late 1960s, Bentley brought in Rod Stewart. Before being successful with Faces or in his solo career, Stewart was recruited as a session musician for the song and paid, so the legend goes, by being bought a new set of seat covers for his car. (Or a new red leather jacket, which is an alternative version of the story!) The song was recorded in April 1969 and was originally issued in October 1970, but it did not make the charts. Re-released in 1972 following the rise to stardom by Stewart, the song reached number 56 in the US charts before greater success in the UK later that year, reaching number 3. Stewart's vocals are not credited on the record label, although the popularity of the song can be attributed to his vocals and star profile. Stewart re-recorded the song in 1992 with David Gilmour and John Paul Jones but did not release it. The recording was eventually released in 2009 as part of The Rod Stewart Sessions 1971-1998 box set.
