"Handbags and Gladrags" epiphany

I never really got why women of a certain age would swoon over Rod Stewart, because by the 1980s his voice was really trashed, and I couldn't tolerate anything after "Young Turks," and "Maggie May" was played way too much on the classic album rock radio station I listened to.

But I recently heard "Handbags and Gladrags" (starts at 4:30) on the radio for the first time in years and years, and now I get it.

Also I'm generally a sucker for blue-eyed soul.
