Stewart's music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In 1963, he joined The Dimensions as a harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Joining Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut album that year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. 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". 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. Its single, "You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.
After Stewart had a handful more UK top ten hits, the Faces broke up in 1975. Stewart's next few hit 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. 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 the US, Canada, the UK and Australia with each release. 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. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) contained the hit "You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". 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. Stewart's albums regularly hit the upper rungs of the charts in the Netherlands throughout the 70s and in Sweden from 1975 onward.
After a disco and new wave period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stewart's music turned to a soft rock/middle-of-the-road style, with most of his albums reaching the top ten in the UK, Germany and Sweden, but faring less well in the US. The single "Rhythm of My Heart" was a top five hit in the UK, US and other countries, with its source album, 1991's Vagabond Heart, becoming, at number ten in the US and number two in the UK, his highest-charting album in a decade. In 1993, he collaborated with Bryan Adams and Sting on the power ballad "All for Love", which went to number one in many countries. In the early 2000s, he released a series of successful albums interpreting the Great American Songbook.
In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists". A Grammy and Brit Award recipient, he was voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the Top 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and he was inducted a second time into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.

Look In Her Eyes
Rod Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch all the pretty girls looking roguishly hot
Right on time, here come all the dudes
They work the room and validate their crew (oh yeah)
It's not submission, it's just the look in her eyes
There's no decision, it's just the look in her eyes
Johnny from Brooklyn meets Marianne from Queens
They hit it off, he has all the moves
She's fascinated but leaves him looking for clues
She's not pretending, it's just the look in her eyes
She's not suggesting, it's just the look in her eyes
He leads her by the hand, he says "Dance little sister, dance"
Is it one those nights where the stars and the moon collide, oh yeah
Don't be fooled by the look in her eyes
Take your time
The sun is rising, he says I'll walk you home
He's got the sweet talk, she's in her comfort zone
He's so smooth, he always gets the girl
But she ain't fooled, her mother taught her well
It's not submission, it's just the look in her eyes
There's no decision, it's just the look in her eyes
She's not pretending, it's just the look in her eyes
She's not suggesting, it's just the look in her eyes
The song "Look In Her Eyes" by Rod Stewart talks about a group of people going to a party and how they all end up looking for love. The lyrics describe the atmosphere of the party, with the line around the block and the pretty girls looking roguishly hot. The song also talks about how the guys work the room and validate their group of friends.
The chorus of the song, "It's not submission, it's just the look in her eyes. There's no decision, it's just the look in her eyes," seems to be a reminder that sometimes when someone looks at us a certain way, we can't help but be drawn to them. The song talks about how two characters, Johnny from Brooklyn and Marianne from Queens, meet and hit it off.
The song also describes the dance floor scene, with Johnny leading Marianne by the hand and telling her to dance. The verses suggest that Marianne is not pretending, nor is she suggesting anything. She's just reacting to the look in his eyes.
Overall, the song talks about the magic and mystery of attraction and how sometimes it's hard to resist the look in someone's eyes.
