Rod gets Capital vote

Gravel voiced Rod Stewart was today crowned the “legend of legends” ahead of The Beatles and Elvis Presley by listeners to a radio show in England.

He won 52% of votes in the final stage of the contest, following a three-month long poll by radio station Capital Gold.

The competition has seen acts go head to head in a vote each day, with Rod and the Fab Four battling it out in the final.

A total of 64 classic artists from the station’s playlist began the contest, with more than a quarter of a million votes cast since the start.

The Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? singer had been runner-up in the contest last year.
