Bob Seger was born at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and lived in the area until age 6 when his family moved to the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan.When Seger was 10 years old, his father left the family and moved to California."Come Go With Me" by The Del Vikings was the first record he bought.Seger has named Van Morrison as being one of his influences.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."Ballad of the Yellow Beret" and mocked draft dodgers.In 1968, Bob Seger signed with major label Capitol Records and formed The Bob Seger System.The single was again a hit in Detroit but went unnoticed almost everywhere else.The second single from The Bob Seger System was "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".Billboard pop albums chart.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.It also has the studio version of Seger's live classic "Turn the Page" (later covered by Metallica and Waylon Jennings).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.Beautiful Loser', Seger sounds like a man with one last shot at the top."In June 1976 he was a featured performer at the Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit in front of nearly 80,000 fans.Seger finally achieved his indisputable commercial breakthrough with his October 1976 album Night Moves.Seger's heartland rock credentials, as well as the AOR anthem "Rock and Roll Never Forgets".Top 5 on the pop singles chart.Top 15 hit, while "We've Got Tonight" was a slow ballad that not only was a Top 15 hit on its own, but would become an adult contemporary mainstay in years to come for both Seger and other artists.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.Through late 2006 both Stranger in Town and Against the Wind had sold over 5 million copies in the U.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.Critically praised for representing a tougher sound than some of his recent material, the album spawned hits with Rodney Crowell's "Shame on the Moon" (which also did moderately well as a country music song), "Even Now", and "Roll Me Away".MTV era, Seger's album sales dropped noticeably, with The Distance only selling approximately 1 million copies.Seger was no longer as prolific and four years elapsed before his next studio album,1986's Like a Rock emerged."American Storm" garnered both pop and rock airplay, and "Like a Rock" became yet another successful Seger ballad.Like a Rock sold over a million copies and went platinum.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.His new music found little visibility on radio or elsewhere.The same was true of 1995's It's a Mystery, however the album was certified Gold (500,000 copies sold).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.Canada Highway in Nipigon, Ontario and was charged by Ontario provincial police with drunk driving after crashing his car.Seger took a sabbatical from the music business for about ten years to spend time with his wife and two young children.He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004.Fellow Detroiter Kid Rock gave the induction speech and Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm proclaimed that date Bob Seger Day in his honor.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.On October 21, 2006 Seger performed "America the Beautiful" at the first game of the 2006 World Series between the St.Events in late March of 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.DVD package chronicling his Face the Promise tour at some point in the fall.Silver Bullet Band

Belong To?Good Song, Great
Ad?Let's let them know how much we
loved it.In 11th grade he was
playing bars three nights a week.In 1996 he played for
nearly a million fans across the country.Detroit, his records outsold the
Beatles.The first major label to
offer him a contract was Motown.He played 260 dates in 1975.He considered himself more a driver than
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...He was born lonely
down by the riverside.His '60 Cadillac went
cruising through Nebraska, whining.He wishes he didn't know
now what he didn't know then.They used to call him
reckless, they used to call him fast.After twenty years, he saw
himself again.He's a Taurus and "you can't move him with a crane."Or, he lets people walk all over him.He has sold nearly 50
million albums.He has "a voice
that inspires trust."American Everyman, but with a deep
and special connection to soul music."He's been called the nicest rock star.He still lives in
