Jerry Reed

His best-known recordings were for RCA, including number 1 hits include "When You're Hot, You're Hot" (1971), "Lord, Mr. Seger's classic take on life on the road, "Turn the Page", was later covered by Metallica. Peters". Other familiar Seger songs include "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Night Moves", and "Hollywood Nights", but his most recognizable songs are almost certainly "Old Time Rock and Roll" (featured in the film Risky Business) and "Like a Rock" (the latter being most familiar to many younger Americans through its association with a long-running Chevrolet ad campaign). Another background vocalist at NRC was his wife Priscilla Mitchell, who scored a country duet hit with Roy Drusky for Mercury Records, "Yes, Mr. Later in his career, Seger mellowed somewhat and he had a series of hits in the '80s with such mid-tempo ballads as "We've Got Tonight" and "Against the Wind". He played at local clubs and was signed by Capitol Records to a three-year recording contract in 1955 By 1958, he was signed to NRC Records, where he also served as a guitarist and background vocalist in the staff band, working alongside other NRC artists Joe South and Ray Stevens. Seger's early work is hard-rocking and shows the influence of fellow Michiganers Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels as well as pioneer rock-and-rollers such as Chuck Berry.

In his Freshman and Sophomore years he took acting roles in school plays. Seger's successes paved the way for other heartland rockers including John Mellencamp and the Michael Stanley Band. By high school, Reed was already writing and singing music and allied himself with Atlanta music publisher Bill Lowery. As such he is often dismissed as a poor man's Bruce Springsteen, though this is an unfair comparison since Seger's career as a professional musician predates Springsteen's by five years. Music and impromptu performances helped ease the stressful times the new family was under. Seger is known as a workhorse midwestern roots-rocker who dealt with blue-collar themes and toured constantly in support of his frequent album releases. Reed was reunited with his mother and stepfather in 1944. He is best known for his work with the Silver Bullet Band, a group he formed in 1974.

Unfortunately, Reed's parents separated four months after his birth and he and his sister spent seven years in foster homes or orphanages. Seger started his musical career in the 1960s in his native Detroit as a singer and as the leader of the Bob Seger System. Reed was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the second child of Robert and Cynthia Hubbard. Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) was an important figure in American rock and roll and pop music in the 1970s and 1980s, and continues to be influential today. As a singer, he may be best remembered for his novelty song "When you're Hot, You're Hot" for which he received the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1972.
