Bob Seger has stated that "Little Richard was the first one that really got to me.Little Richard and, of course, Elvis Presley."Seger also named Van Morrison as being one of his influences and covered one of his lesser known songs "I've Been Working" on his live album Live Bullet.Mentioning Frankie Miller, Graham Parker, John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen, Seger remarked: "There's a whole little clique of male vocalists.We're just sort of all connected.Seger began his musical career in 1961 in Detroit as a member of The Decibels, where he first met his future manager and record producer, Punch Andrews.Seger returned to Ann Arbor where he played with The Town Cryers and then Doug Brown and the Omens.Soon after its release Sadler and his record label threatened Brown and his band with a lawsuit and the recording was withdrawn from the market.In 1966 Seger left Brown's group but retained him as a producer.Parkway went out of business .In 1968, Bob Seger signed with major label Capitol Records and formed The Bob Seger System.Seger's political attitudes from "The Ballad of the Yellow Beret".The second single from The Bob Seger System was "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".Seger then returned the following year with the System's final album, 1970's Mongrel.Seger's next few albums, released on Punch Andrews' Palladium label and distributed by Reprise Records, were stylistically erratic and appeared in the low 100s on the Billboard albums chart, if at all.These albums included Smokin' O.It also has the studio version of Seger's live classic "Turn the Page" (later covered by Metallica and Waylon Jennings).In 1974 Seger formed the Silver Bullet Band.Rick Mannassa, bass guitarist Chris Campbell, and saxophone player Alto Reed.In April 1976 Seger and the Silver Bullet Band had an even bigger commercial breakthrough with the album Live Bullet, recorded over two nights in Detroit's Cobo Arena in September 1975.US) as well as Seger's own classic take on life on the road, "Turn the Page", from Back in '72."Heavy Music" and "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".Beautiful Loser', Seger sounds like a man with one last shot at the top."Seger finally achieved his indisputable commercial breakthrough with his October 1976 album Night Moves.Night Moves was Seger's first Top 10 album in the Billboard 200, and through late 2006 had sold over 6 million copies in the U.Furthermore it activated sales of Seger's recent back catalog, so that Beautiful Loser would eventually sell 2 million and Live Bullet would sell 5 million copies in the U.Despite the loss, Seger followed up strongly with 1978's Stranger in Town.The first single "Fire Lake" featured Eagles Don Henley, Timothy B."You'll Accomp'ny Me" became the third hit single from the record.Against the Wind would also win two Grammy Awards.Seger's take on Eugene Williams' "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You" became a Top 5 hit from Nine Tonight and would go on to sell 4 million copies.During the recording of this album, Silver Bullet guitarist Drew Abbott left the band due to his frustration with Seger's frequent use of session musicians in the studio, and was replaced by Dawayne Bailey.Grand Funk drummer Don Brewer.In 1984 Seger wrote and recorded the power rock ballad "Understanding" for the "Teachers" movie soundtrack.Seger was no longer as prolific and four years elapsed before his next studio album,1986's Like a Rock emerged.Chevrolet ad campaign (something Seger explicitly chose to do to support struggling American automobile workers in Detroit).Like a Rock sold over a million copies and went platinum.The song had originally been intended for Glenn Frey, but when he lost his voice just prior to the recording session, he called in Seger to take his place.Bob Seger's next record was 1991's The Fire Inside, at a time when glam metal, grunge and alternative rock were all taking the forefront.In between, however, his Greatest Hits compilation was a major success, achieving sales of over 8 million units through late 2006.North American tour that year.Seger took a sabbatical from the music business for about ten years to spend time with his wife and two young children.In 2001 and 2002, Seger won the prestigious Port Huron to Mackinac race aboard his 52 foot sailboat "Lightning".Fellow Detroiter Kid Rock gave the induction speech and Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm proclaimed that date Bob Seger Day in his honor.Seger's first new album in 11 years, titled Face the Promise, was released on September 12, 2006.The album has sold over 1 million copies to date and stayed on the Billboard chart for months.His supporting tour has also been eagerly anticipated, with many shows selling out within minutes.Showing that Seger's legendary appeal in Michigan had not diminished, all 15,000 tickets available for his first show at Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena sold out in under five minutes; three additional shows were subsequently added, each of which also sold out.In 2005 Seger was featured singing with 3 Doors Down on the song "Landing in London" from their Seventeen Days Album.Events in late March 2007 suggested that Seger may move on from Capitol Records because those who had worked with him to this point are now gone from the label.References

than the Beatles.Perine, Bob Seger play the Mt.Holly Ski Lodge north of

a singer at the time.His mother taught him
never to go into debt.Doncha ever listen to
the radio?Springsteen created Crazy Janey and her mission
man.His songs, he thinks,
reflect a certain morality...Only occasionally do they find renewal.The light fades from the screen.He was born lonely
down by the riverside.He went cruising on his
gray snake till his dying day.He even sang the parts the
instruments were playing.He knows the devil is red,
but his money is green.His '60 Cadillac went
cruising through Nebraska, whining.They used to call him
reckless, they used to call him fast.He has sold nearly 50
million albums.American Everyman, but with a deep
and special connection to soul music."His kids, he says, "are
