Maggie May
//Maggie May is mentioned on page 7 of A Tourists Guide to Glengarry.//

= = //Maggie May// is a song written by [|Rod Stewart] and musician [|Martin Quittenton]. It was also recorded in 1971 by Stewart with his band, "[|The Faces]". It was written from Stewart's personal experiences about a younger man falling in love with an older woman.

In October 1971, //Maggie May// moved up to number one in the [|United Kingdom], and instantly reached the top in the [|U.S]. It is a rare achievement to top the UK and U.S singles and simultaneously top the [|album charts]. This notable goal has only been reached by a handful of acts other than Rod Stewart such as, "The Beatles", "[|Simon and Garfunkle]", and most recently, "[|Beyonce Knowles]".

This song launched Stewart as a solo artist. //Maggie May// re-entered the United Kingdom charts in December 1976, but only reached thirty-one. Although he has sold millions of albums, //Maggie May// is considerably his best known work.
