Singer PP Arnold has claimed was a “nightmare” and “very difficult” to work with.
Reflecting on the earlier stages of her career, the 78-year-old claims a record had produced for her and Rod was shelved, due to the Maggie May hitmaker’s difficult ways.
The pair teamed up in 1967 to record a version of Wilson Pickett’s Come Home Baby, but PP says Rod wasn’t happy with the way it was going.
Quizzed on working with the singer, she told The Times: “Nightmare! Rod is very difficult to work with, he wanted it his way or no way.

“As soon as I started sounding good, he wanted to change the key. Mick just got p****d off and that’s why the track was never released.”
It’s not the first time PP has taken a swipe at Rod.
In her book Soul Survivor, released in 2022, she accused the multimillionaire of being “selfish and tight”.
A year later, she claimed the pair had a close brush with the law back in the 1960s.

She told The Guardian: “Rod Stewart and I had a close call back in the 60s when a nosy landlord, on suspicion of drug possession, let the police into my flat,” but she didn’t go into further details.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for Rod for comment.
In the same interview, she claimed Mick was her greatest kiss of all time.
The pair crossed paths back in 1966 when she was a singer with the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, who had been invited over to the UK to tour with the Rolling Stones.
From then on, she secured herself a solo record deal with Immediate Records, the label founded by the band’s manager Andrew Loog Oldham and Tony Calder.
Previously gushing over her relationship with Mick, she called him “an honourable person”.
“He was a good friend, my knight in shining armour before he became a knight of the realm,” she added to the Radio Times.
“I never had a problem with him, though I might have a problem now.”
