During the fifties and sixties, Rod's main interests lay in the field of playing football. He played for some time as an apprentice soccer player for Brentford FC. However, he soon realized that he was actually more interested in music and decided to quit sports in order to start a musical career. The folk singer Wizz Jones and Rod Stewart went on a tour around Europe, singing to tourists for money. As soon as their passports expired, Stewart and his friend were deported for wandering.

After he came back, Rods musical preferences changed, and he joined the Birmingham based R & B group Jimmy Powell and the Five Dimensions as a vocalist and blues harp player.
