Biography:
Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American rock musician and singer-songwriter.
After years of local Detroit-area success, recording and performing in the mid-1960s, Seger achieved superstar status by the mid-1970s and continuing through the 1980s with the Silver Bullet Band. A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger was first inspired by James Brown and Elvis Presley.[1] He wrote and recorded songs that dealt with blue-collar themes.
