Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American rock musician and singer-songwriter.
As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as The Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s.
By the early 1970s, he had dropped the "System" from his recordings, and continued to strive for national success as a solo artist.
In 1976, he achieved national fame with two albums, the studio record Night Moves and the live record Live Bullet. His backing band from 1975 was known as "The Silver Bullet Band", an evolving group of Detroit-area musicians.
He also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which backed him on several of his best selling singles and albums.
A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger was first inspired by James Brown and Elvis Presley.
He wrote and recorded songs that dealt with blue-collar themes. Seger has recorded many rock and roll hits, including "Night Moves", "We've Got Tonight", "Like a Rock" and also co-wrote the Eagles number one hit "Heartache Tonight."
His iconic signature song "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. With a career spanning five decades, Seger continues to perform and record today. Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.(Wikipedia)
Against the wind is one of his many good songs:
I remember we all knew this song when we were young.
