breaking through with
his first album,
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man
which contained his first national hit

By the early 1970's,
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

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 rock musician
known for his raspy,
powerful voice,
Seger is one of the
best-known artists
of the heartland rock genre,
with his songs often
concerning love,
women,
and blue-collar themes.
Among his many hits are
"Night Moves",
"Turn the Page",
"Mainstreet",
"Still the Same",
"Hollywood Nights",
"Against the Wind",
"You'll Accomp'ny Me",
"Shame on the Moon",
"Roll Me Away",
"Like a Rock",
and
"Shakedown",
the last of which was
written for the 1987 film
Beverly Hills Cop II
and topped the
Billboard Hot 100 chart.
His recording of
"Old Time Rock and Roll"
was named one of the
Songs of the Century
in 2001,
and he co-wrote
the Eagles'
number-one hit
"Heartache Tonight".
With a career spanning
six decades,
Seger has sold over
75 million records worldwide,
making him one
