Bob Seger developed into one of the most popular heartland rockers over the course of the ’70s. Originally He was a hard-driving rocker in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder. He successfully created a unique American Sound which was actually the combination of the driving charge of Ryder’s Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and devotion to hard-edged soul and R&B([http://events.ixs.net/R-B-Soul.aspx]). Inspite of many lost opportunities of the initial Years of his career, Seger finally achieved a national audience in 1976 with the back-to-back release of his albums Live Bullet and Night Moves. These two Albums were a superb success which helped Seger in retaining his popularity for the coming two decades, releasing seven Top Ten, platinum-selling albums in a row.
Seger shown his interest in music in his early age. He began playing music in 1961 as the leader of the Detroit-based trio the Decibels; his future manager, Eddie “Punch” Andrews was also a member of the band. Moving to Ann Arbor, he played with the Town Criers before he became the keyboardist and vocalist for Doug Brown & the Omens. The band released “The Ballad of the Yellow Beret,” that was parody of the Sgt. Barry Sadler song “The Ballad of the Green Beret.” However, It proved a set back for them when Sadler threatened a lawsuit against this song.Resultantly, The single was withdrawn shortly after its release.
The First Solo Single of Seger was “East Side Story, which was released in 1966. This song gained huge popularity and soon it became a regional hit. Many other local hit singles followed on Cameo Records, including “Persecution Smith” and “Heavy Music,” before his label folded. The Year 1968 was very important in the Career of Bob Seger as in this year, He successfully formed the Bob Seger System and got the golden opportunity of signing with the reknowned Capitol Records. His debut album, Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man, was released by Capitol Records in the spring of this eventual year. The title track met a grand success and it became a national hit, climbing to number 17.
Seger achieved a commercial breakthrough with his 1976 album Night Moves which featured several hits including the highly evocative title song. Night Moves became a blockbuster, generating the hit singles “Night Moves,” “Mainstreet,” and “Rock & Roll Never Forgets.” Stranger in Town, released in the summer 1978, was just as successful, featuring the hits “Still the Same,” “Hollywood Nights,” “We’ve Got Tonite,” and “Old Time Rock & Roll.” His most recognizable songs are almost certainly “Old Time Rock & Roll” (featured in the film Risky Business) and “Like a Rock” (most familiar to many younger Americans through its association with a long-running Chevrolet ad campaign). Seger also co-wrote the Eagles #1 hit song “Heartache Tonight” from their 1979 album The Long Run.
Keeping in view of his grand successes, Seger was acknowledged as America’s most popular rockers. Seger’s next album, 1980′s Against the Wind, became his first number one album and all of its big hits — “Fire Lake,” “Against the Wind,” “You’ll Accomp’ny Me” — were ballads. The live album Nine Tonight continued his multi-platinum success in 1981, selling three million copies and peaking at number three.
Seger released his next popular Album “The Distance” in 1982.While The Distance featured “Shame on the Moon,” his biggest hit single to date, it had a record breaking sales of a million copies which shows his unmatched popularity.Seger also began to drastically reduce his recording and touring schedules — he only released one other album, 1986′s Like a Rock, during the ’80s. Like a Rock and its supporting tour were both successes, paving the way for “Shakedown,” a song taken from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II, to become Seger’s lone number one hit in 1987. Four years after its release, he returned with The Fire Inside. Although the album went platinum and reached the Top Ten, it only appealed to Seger’s devoted following, as did 1995′s It’s a Mystery, which became his first album since Live Bullet to fail to go platinum, leveling off at gold status.
Also during 2004, Seger was working on his first new album in 10 years, titled Face the Promise which was released on September 12, 2006. The first single, “Wait For Me”, landed on radio in July.
The Encyclopedia of Rock And Roll stated that “His throaty, authoritative delivery is a pleasure to listen to, and the Silver Bullet Band is superb.”

Hot Spot [VHS] $7.46 The Hot Spot is best known to lecherous film buffs for Jennifer Connelly’s topless scene, but this sultry southern noir deserves more than prurient interest. It’s arguably Dennis Hopper’s best directorial effort (OK, so that’s not saying much), and Charles Williams’s source novel Hell Hath No Fury finds Hopper in a comfortable B-movie milieu, riffing on Double Indemnity with an overripe tale of se… |
