Clive Davis, Arista/J Records founder/BMG U.S. Chairman & CEO and producer of the Volume IV and the Songbook series says "Rod gets more and more comfortable in the genre with each album, and that's why he won his Grammy for the third 'Songbook.' On Volume IV, Rod inimitably captures wonderful classic standards, breathes new life into them and makes them his own."

Comments Rod Stewart: "The key to it all is trying to put my own stamp on these songs, because they have been done so many times-just not by someone who sang 'Hot Legs' and 'Maggie May!' Since this album will be the last one for now, I wanted to make it really special."

Built on the success of It Had To Be You(which featured duets with Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton) it sold almost a quarter of a million units in the first week of sales and spawned Rod's first-ever # 1 debut on the chart. Here is Australia Rod has enjoyed top 10 success with all 3 Great American Songbook titles.
