At age five he moved with his family to Ann Arbor. Seger was exposed to music from an early age as his father played several instruments. 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.

In 1987, he married actress Annette Sinclair and they divorced one year later. He married Juanita Dorricott in 1993, in a small private setting at The Village Club, in Bloomfield Hills; they have two children.
Bob Seger Career
Seger’s songs tell stories about characters with whom listeners can readily identify. They are often about people who are trying to find their way through a world that has proven more complex, challenging than they could have imagined.
That road is one that Seger has traveled himself, though he has fortunately always proven able to find his way back home. One of Michigan’s finest, he grew up outside the media’s spotlight and soaked up the rock & roll and soul sounds for which Detroit remains famous. Drawing on those sources, he defined a musical voice for the American heartland.
Bob Seger PhotoSeger paid his dues for many years trying to break out of the regional scene. He scored a national hit in 1968 with “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” his Capitol Records debut. But it would be eight long years and nine more albums before he would return to the charts.
During those years he toured relentlessly, upwards of 200 dates per year, and released a series of albums which die-hard fans celebrated but failed to break through the national charts. With money running out and diminishing returns from studio efforts, friends and foes alike were questioning whether he would ever make it.
As a last-ditch effort, Seger composed a group of songs which became his eighth album, Beautiful Loser. The album sold 80,000 copies in Michigan which helped give him a renewed sense of confidence. But it was the album Live Bullet that followed Beautiful Loser that finally brought Seger significant national attention, a double-vinyl-record set that was recorded live in Detroit in 1975 with the Silver Bullet Band.
Whatever recognition Seger had garnered to that point was based on two elements: the emotional power of his songs and the intensity of his live shows. Riveting performances of “Travelin’ Man/Beautiful Loser,” “Heavy Music,” “Katmandu,” “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” and “Turn the Page” combined those two elements on Live Bullet. The album broke and set the stage for Seger’s meteoric rise with Night Moves.
Night Moves ranks with the likes of American Graffiti, the film that inspired it, in its depiction of the bittersweet passage from adolescence into adulthood. Originally released in 1976, Night Moves was recorded in Detroit with the Silver Bullet Band and in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with the incomparable Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.
The album went on to garner overwhelming critical praise, as well as, the hit singles “Night Moves,” “Mainstreet,” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets.” It is one of the seminal records from the Seventies, and the fact that “Night Moves” continues to be a radio staple is a testament to how strongly listeners of all ages have felt their lives represented in it.
But Seger was only beginning. The eight studio albums he has recorded since that time have generated a catalog of songs that have entered the pantheon of contemporary popular music: “Hollywood Nights,” “Still the Same,” “Old Time Rock and Roll,” “We’ve Got Tonight,” “You’ll Accomp’ny Me,” “Against the Wind,” “Her Strut,” “Roll Me Away,” “Like a Rock,” “The Fire Inside,” and more.

Bob Seger Quotes
- Stood alone on a mountain top, starin’ out at the Great Divide. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin’ and my soul began to rise.
- The years rolled slowly past and I found myself alone. Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, I found myself further and further from my home.
- When you have kids, you start thinking about their future and you forget about yours.
- Here I am, on the road again. There I am, up on the stage. Here I go, playing star again. There I go, turn the page.
- Mediocrity’s easy, the good things take time, the great need commitment.
- Call me a relic, call me what you will, say I’m old fashion, say I’m over the hill. Today’s music ain’t got the same soul, I like that old time rock and roll.
- I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.
- Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely, all of my hopes fading away. I’ve longed for love as everyone else does, I know I’ll keep searching after today.
- I never say never, because I don’t want to be one of those guys.
- I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track, I was a 2-miler.
