Stewart won his first Grammy this year for his covers album Stardust

"It's wonderful to be on this same sidewalk as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald," he said.

The London-born singer's popularity has been revived in the US with the success of his Great American Songbook albums of 1930s and 1940s cover versions.

"It has been a great year for me, my first Grammy, now this and I'm going to be a dad again," he added.

"I don't know how I did that but I did," he told a large crowd outside Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

Stewart, 60, became famous as a singer in the Faces before having a string of solo hits including Baby Jane, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, Maggie May and Sailing.

He won the traditional pop album Grammy for Stardust: The Great American Songbook Volume Three in February.
