An den 1960er an 1970er Joren huet hien a verschiddene Bands matgespillt, wéi Jimmy Powell and the Five Dimensions, Long John Baldrys Hoochie Coochie Men, The Soul Agents, Shotgun Express, The Steampacket der Jeff Beck Group, The Faces a Small Faces. 1969 huet hie mat An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down, säin éischte Soloalbum opgeholl. 1970 koum Gasoline Alley no, ma eréischt mat sengem drëtten Album Every Picture Tells a Story dat Joer drop hat hien, virun allem wéinst dem ausgekoppelten Hit Maggie May, säin Duerchbroch.

Aner international Hitten, déi an de Joren duerno erauskoumen, waren Sailing (1975), Don't Ya Think I'm Sexy? (1977), Baby Jane (1983) sou wéi Downtown Train a Waltzing Matilda, allebéid vum Tom Waits, dee méi um Stewart senge Coverversioune verdingt huet wéi u sengen eegenen Opname vun de Lidder.
