 Stewart was still enjoying his course in the Faces as the lead vocal, but a visible crack started emerging as Stewart's solo career started gaining more success than the band. Rod's burgeoning career and the growing tension amongst other members led to the band's disbandment in December 1979. Stewart reached the peak of his career in the late 70s with the release of albums like Atlantic Crossing, Foot Loose & Fancy-Free, and the big-seller Blondes Have More Fun.
