Stardust Features Star Studded Duets With Bette Midler, Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Dave Koz, Arturo Sandoval, and Dave Grusin

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart will be releasing a third volume of his incredibly successful standards series entitled Stardust...The Great American Songbook: Volume III on J Records October 19th. Stewart's first two Grammy-nominated collections of standards -- 2002's It Had To Be You ... The Great American Songbook and 2003's As Time Goes By ... The Great American Songbook, Volume II -- have already sold over ten million copies and brought this veteran superstar to a new and even larger audience of all ages. The Songbook series has been a worldwide phenomenon since the first's release in 2002. The first two Songbooks entered the Billboard sales charts at #4 and #2, respectively, creating tremendous anticipation and demand for Stardust ... Volume III.

Throughout the Songbook recordings, Stewart has managed to make some of the most enduring and romantic compositions ever written his own. "Singing these amazing songs has moved me deeply and given me a much-needed kick in the arse," Rod the Eternally Mod explains.

Even by the standards of a man who has sold more than 130 million albums worldwide, the public's embrace of these albums during a most challenging time in the music industry has been nothing short of stunning. Remarkably, Stewart's first Songbook album remained on the Billboard Top 200 chart for almost two years. Rod Stewart has spent most of 2004 on the road, having just wrapped up an 82-city tour "From Maggie May To The Great American Songbook," which was one of the Top 5 most successful tours of the year according to Pollstar Magazine.
