The following year, he joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. In 1969, Stewart joined the band Faces and released his debut solo album, An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down. His early albums combined elements of rock, folk, soul, and R&B. His third album, Every Picture Tells a Story (1971), was his breakthrough, reaching the top of the charts in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, and featuring the single "Maggie May." His 1972 album, Never a Dull Moment, also achieved number one status in the UK and Australia and reached the top three in the US and Canada. The single "You Wear It Well" from that album topped the UK chart.
