30 May
Summary
- The hottest song of 1977 was Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night".
- The BBC banned the song due to its suggestive lyrics.
- Rod Stewart recently canceled Las Vegas shows for vocal rest.
The year 1977 was marked by significant cultural events, including the release of "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" and the passing of Elvis Presley. Amidst this backdrop, Rod Stewart released his eighth studio album, "Foot Loose & Fancy Free.".
His song "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" became the year's most popular track. However, the BBC banned the soft rock hit due to its risqué lyrical content, which included suggestive themes.
Stewart, now 81, has had a long and storied career following this success. He recently canceled scheduled performances in Las Vegas on his doctor's advice, citing a need for vocal rest to recover from a sinus infection. He expressed his apologies to his fans and anticipation for future shows.
