Happy birthday Rod The Mod!

Sympathy For The Devil was a German TV series that ran for one 13 episode season from 1971 to ‘72. Here’s a clip from the show featuring birthday boy Rod Stewart doing acapella versions of “Gasoline Alley” and “Lady Day.”

Filmed amongst the rubble in the streets of Berlin, Stewart’s soulful voice echoes off the walls of weathered buildings and co-mingles with the sounds of birds and laughter of children. At the end of the clip you can hear a little kid mocking Stewart who mocks back.
