Would you happen to know if that song "Handbags and Gladrags" is originally by Rod Stewart? I've been wondering this, since I'm only familiar with the Stereophonics version (I found out Rod Stewart did it too when I downloaded the Stereophonics version). It's a nice song, though sad.

I believe it is his song. I thought it was one of his signiture tunes.

I mean, I figured it wasn't originally by the Stereophonics. Thank you.

As it turns out, "Handbags and Gladrags" is actually originally by Mike D'Abo, the singer from Manfred Mann, and has been covered by Rod Stewart, The Stereophonics, Chris Farlowe, and Chase - I am unfamiliar with the latter two. I got this info from The Covers Project.
