Stewart is best known for his 1976 hit single "Year of the Cat", the title song from the platinum album of the same name. Though Year of the Cat and its 1978 platinum follow-up Time Passages brought Stewart his biggest worldwide commercial successes, earlier albums such as Past, Present and Future from 1973 are often seen as better examples of his intimate brand of historical folk-rock - a style to which he has returned in recent albums. Stewart was a key figure in British music and he appears throughout the musical folklore of the revivalist era. He played at the first-ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970, knew Yoko Ono before she met John Lennon, shared a London apartment with a young Paul Simon, and hosted at the Les Cousins folk club in London in the 1960s. Stewart has released sixteen studio and three live albums since his debut album Bedsitter Images in 1967, and continues to tour extensively in the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK. His latest release is Uncorked, which was released on his independent label, Wallaby Trails Recordings. Stewart has worked with Peter White, Alan Parsons, Jimmy Page, Richard Thompson, Rick Wakeman, Tori Amos, and Tim Renwick, and more recently has played with Dave Nachmanoffand former Wings lead-guitarist Laurence Juber.

That being said, the vehicle's sirens were likely turned on at the time and drew A. Stewartacusfusduslamus to that portion of the Atlantic Ocean. FBVFIO Public Relations manager, known only as "Running Man", commented on the matter saying: "We have no idea what could have compelled this officer to drive across the entire country and plunge his vehicle into the sea. The investigation is currently ongoing. " (September, 1964) The officer's body was never found, as scientists concluded that an Al Stewart must have feasted on his corpse, but several copies of David Bowie's "Modern Love" were found floating on the surface of the water where the vehicle had sunk into the ocean. After being analyzed in Los Angeles' forensic labs, traces of seminal fluid were found left on the surface of one of the vinyl discs. It was later found that the discs originated from the police car, and after several months of investigation, it was understood that this song did not yet exist (it would not until the 1980s), and that the police officer was not a legitimate officer, but a time traveller who had a deeply sexual obsession with David Bowie.
