This song was originally written and released in 1973 when Stewart was still in The band The Faces. Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck Group), not Rod Stewart or Ronnie Lane, who sang the lead vocal for this song. Lane and Stewart were at odds at the time. Stewart did not think the song was up to his standards although both he and Lane recorded lead vocals for it. Their producer suggested Wood give it a try, and that's the version that was used for the album, which was Faces last studio album. Lane left the group after Ooh La La was released and The Faces disbanded after their 1974 tour.
With the original version by Wood sounding a little bit more country, honky-tonk, this version by Stewart shows more of his Scottish influence with its fife backing.
