https://www.facebook.com/DoYouRemember/videos/1555873427808050/ A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger wrote and recorded songs that deal with love, women and blue-collar themes and is an exemplar of heartland rock. To preserve his voice for the stage, he does not talk in the hours immediately before and immediately after concerts. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004. Fellow Detroiter Kid Rock gave the induction speech. His album "Face the Promise", released in September 2006, sold over 400,000 copies in its first 45 days of release. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 1750 Vine Street in Hollywood, California. Seger also co-wrote the Eagles' number-one hit "Heartache Tonight", and his iconic recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. Has said that the line "hummin' a song from 1962" in his song "Night Moves" was about The Ronettes hit song "Be My Baby". Unfortunately, he got the year wrong--"Be My Baby" did not come out until 1963. Bob Seger did not actually write "Old Time Rock and Roll". The writing credits for it go to George Jackson and Tom Jones III. Bob did change several of the lyrics but decided against taking songwriting credit. Which later, he said he wish he had added his name so he could have gotten the royalties for the publishing rights. His song, "Old Time Rock and Roll", was used to great effect in a classic scene in the film Risky Business (1983). Bob Seger has recorded many hits, including: "RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' MAN" "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on, Come on, give a listenCause I was born lonely down by the riverside Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay But I got to ramble (ramblin' man) Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man) Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man) I was born a ramblin' gamblin' manYeah yeah yeah yeah Bring it on, come down Yeah alright, here we go now now now I'm out of money, cause you know I need some Ain't around to lovin, and I must run Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down You can have your funky world, see you 'round But I got to ramble (ramblin' man) Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man) Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man) I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man "NIGHT MOVES" "Night Moves" I was a little too tall Could've used a few pounds Tight pants points hardly reknown She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes And points all her own sitting way up high Way up firm and high Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy Workin' on mysteries without any clues Workin' on our night moves Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news Workin' on our night moves In the summertime In the sweet summertimeWe weren't in love, oh no, far from it We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored Livin' by the sword And we'd steal away every chance we could To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods I used her, she used me But neither one cared We were gettin' our share Workin' on our night moves Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues Workin' on our night moves And it was summertime Sweet summertime summertime And oh the wonder We felt the lightning And we waited on the thunder Waited on the thunderI awoke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closing in "TURN THE PAGE" "Turn The Page" On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through Say, here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung-out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can All the same old clichés: "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand Here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away Every ounce of energy you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you playLater in the evening as you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she saidAh Here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the pageAh, here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, there I go "STILL THE SAME" "Still The Same" You always won, everytime you placed a bet You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet Everytime they were sure they had you caught You were quicker than they thought You'd just turn your back and walk You always said, the cards would never do you wrong The trick you said was never piay the game too long A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take The only loss you could forsake The only bluff you couldn't fakeAnd you're still the same I caught up with you yesterday Moving game to game No one standing in your way Turning on the charm Long enough to get you by You're still the same You still aim high There you stood, everybody watched you play I just turned and walked away I had nothing left to say' Cause you're still the same You're still the same Moving game to game Some things never change You're still the same "WE'VE GOT TONIGHT" "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger I know it's late, I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely Longing for shelter from all that we see Why should we worry, no one will care girl Look at the stars so far away We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight babe Why don' you stay? Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely All of my hopes, fading away I've longed for love, like everyone else does I know I'll keep searching, even after today So there it is girl, I've said it all now And here we are babe, what do you say? We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight babe Why don't you stay? I know it's late, I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely Both of us lonely We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? Let's make it last, let's find a way Turn out the light, come take my hand now We've got tonight babe Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay?
