Seger, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004, has been one of those successful individuals to have emerged because of his own efforts. He had initially been known for his success out of Detroit. He had first made his mark by performing and recording under the name ‘The Bob Seger System.’ Seger’s success is a result of a continued struggle for years in the music industry. Some people find it easy or get lucky, others have to put in more than a hundred percent effort to get any recognition; Seger is one of the latter. By 1973, he organized “The Silver Bullet Band,” which was a progressive unit with some well known musicians from Detroit. This band served as a platform for his success. In 1976, Seger earned national fame with 2 albums. These included the Live Bullet, which was recorded live, and Night Moves, a studio recording.
The Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section featured on Seger’s studio recordings, with whom he worked extensively. Many of these included his best selling singles and albums.
Seger is correctly described as a roots rocker with a classic raspy voice. Little Richard has been his inspiration, alongside others such as Elvis Presley who have influenced him. Seger has recorded blue-collar themed songs, many of which have turned out to be roll hits. Some of these names include: “Turn the Page”, “Night Moves”, & “Like a Rock.” Seger had also joined hands with The Eagles to write one of the number one hits, “Heartache Tonight.” However, his signature song remains “Old Time Rock and Roll.” This was awarded its status after the 2001 Songs of the Century.
Seger’s illustrious career has stretched 5 decades long, and he shows no sign of stopping, as he carries on performing and recording till today.
