Bob Seger

Bob Seger emerged from Detroit in the 1960s, spending years building a regional following before achieving national success in the mid-1970s. His albums "Night Moves" (1976), "Stranger in Town" (1978), and "Against the Wind" (1980) established him as a major rock artist, with the Silver Bullet Band as his backing group. Seger's heartland rock style combined working-class themes with memorable melodies and raspy vocals. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
