Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the "System" from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album ''Live Bullet'', recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album ''Night Moves''. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger's best-selling singles and albums. A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger wrote and recorded songs that dealt with love, women and blue-collar themes and was an exemplar of heartland rock. Seger has recorded many hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "Still the Same", "We've Got Tonight", "Against the Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame on the Moon", "Like a Rock", and "Shakedown", which was written for ''Beverly Hills Cop II''. 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. 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 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. Bob Seger was named Billboard's 2015 Legend of Live honoree at the 12th annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards, held Nov. 18-19 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York. ==Early years== Seger was born in Lincoln Park, Michigan, the son of Charlotte and Stewart Seger, of Dearborn, Michigan. He lived in the area until age 6 when his family moved to nearby Ann Arbor, Michigan.〔According to Joel Whitburn's ''Record Research'', Seger was born in Dearborn's Oakwood Hospital.〕 He has an older brother, George.〔 Seger's father, a medical technician for the Ford Motor Company, played several instruments and Seger was exposed to music from an early age.〔 Seger was also exposed to frequent arguments between his parents that disturbed the neighborhood at night.〔 In 1956, when Seger was 10 years old, his father abandoned the family and moved to California.〔 The remaining family soon lost their comfortable middle-class status and struggled financially.〔 Seger attended Tappan Junior High School, (Ann Arbor, Michigan) (now Tappan Middle School) and graduated from Pioneer High School in 1963 (at the time it was known as Ann Arbor High School). He ran track and field in high school. Seger also went to Lincoln Park High School for a year. As far as his early musical inspirations are concerned, Seger has stated, "Little Richard – he was the first one that really got to me. Little Richard and, of course, Elvis Presley." "Come Go With Me" by The Del-Vikings, a hit in 1957, was the first record he bought. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Seger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
