    I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, and we went to Tigers games regularly!! Saw Hitsville, U.S.A. house, the home of Motown!! This is vintage Bob, circa 1969!! His voice aged like a fine wine!! One of my favorites!!

    Seger's first hit. 1968. Same year as CCR. Friend Glen Frey, later with The Eagles, on guitar and backing vocals.
    Seger covered John Fogerty's "Fortunate Son" in 1986. And they recorded his "Who'll stop the Rain" as a duet in 2013.

    This was a big hit in Michigan when he was still playing the bars and county fairs in the late 60s and early 70s. Heavy Music and 2+2 were other hits at the time. The Live from Cobo Hall album revived this as a hit. This is the 45 version, not the version that was popular later.

  • @jeffmartin1026
    @jeffmartin1026 4 года назад +7

    "You can have your funky world,
    I'll se ya 'round"...
    Potent lyrics in 1969.
    "I ain't good lookin' - but you know I ain't shy,
    Ain't afraid to look a girl - right in the eye"...
    Potent lyrics to this day.
    Airplay still demanded short songs to get played in those days.
    Katmandu or Hollywood Nights for more rockers by Bob.

    I grew up about an hour outside Motown in the '60s and '70's. Better music never existed anywhere or anytime. A big shout out to The Silver Bullet Band .......they could really rock.

  • @BuffaloC305
    @BuffaloC305 4 года назад +10

    His original hit but this was a popular radio hit before CCR had their first ones. Detroit had a history of rock'n'rollers but in the mid-60s, it was Motown that dominated that landscape. This hit was an exploding force reminding folks that Detroit was also rock. Playing this song by garage bands demanded (1) a solid organist (and keyboard!) and (2) backup singers. Bands who could do this were also doing Stevie Winwood's GIMME GOOD LOVING.

    • @noahholliday9761
      @noahholliday9761 8 месяцев назад

      I know I'm late to the party but that's Gimme some Lovin by the Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood. You're absolutely correct though. I watched my dad and uncle rehearsing for all of those songs back in the late 70's and developed a love for all music of that era. I can't do anything modern anymore, it's just soulless and formula driven.

  • @bigbow62
    @bigbow62 4 года назад +12

    It's early of his 1st album.... Its just a pure in your face rock , raw, & hard hitting with Mister Glenn Frye ( R.I.P ) on backup vocals ! It's a very short song but still one of my favorites..... because it's non-stop Rock-n-Roll cool ✌😎
    Yes very raw... that's the best part & before the Silver Bullet Band
    Check-out some of the video's for this song.... you will see a very young baby faced Bob but still belting some of that ole time Rock-n-Roll that made him one of the best !`😎🎙 ( Ramblin Gamblin Man Live 1970 ) Looks likes a High School kid doing a perfect impression on Bob..... the funny thing... IT IS BOB ! ! 😎🎙 "WOW" You could see he was on the doorstep of greatness✌😎
    Also it's well worth checking out Kid Rocks induction speech for Bob & The Silver Bullet Band into the ( completely messed up R & R HOF ) .....but they sure got it right this time around ! 🎙

  • @bryanburton6087
    @bryanburton6087 4 года назад +8

    First song from his first album. He had some minor hits prior to this but was never hailed outside the Detroit area.
    His second album "Noah" came out soon after. He also began fighting with record executives at this time. Bob knew what he wanted to do and felt constrained by the business of the industry. His third album "Mongrel" landed him a hit with "Lucifer" but there isn't much from those two albums that even Seger fans are aware of. Bob was becoming disillusioned.
    He picked up his guitar and sat at his piano and did an album all by himself next. It's called "Brand New Morning" and he has since distanced himself from it but you at least need to listen to the title track to get an idea of where Bob's head was at the time.
    He then decided to produce an album of all remakes called "Smokin' O.P.'s" Taken from the slang of smoking (O)ther (P)eople's cigarettes. This refreshed him somewhat.
    Bob was finding his mojo again.
    "Back In '72" and "Seven" followed soon after and you could see that he was finding himself and his sound. Lots of good stuff off of those two albums. Including the studio version of "Turn the Page" which most people have never heard before. It's more piano heavy and less saxophone. I almost prefer it to the live version. Slightly different vibe. Great song either way.
    Then came "Beautiful Loser." Chock full of hits but Bob still wasn't a national name.
    He then recorded a live album at Cobo Hall in Detroit. (Amazingly everyone alive at the time was in the audience. Or so they claim. If true Cobo would have needed to seat at least a million people) It's called "Live Bullet" and it propelled him into the national spotlight.
    What you've heard so far is all post-Live Bullet when Bob was at the top of his game. The raw sound you hear here is all over his early stuff. Bob always had 'it.' He has just refined and improved it over the years.
    One of my favorite artists of all time.
    Keep going. You aren't even close to being finished.
    Safe travels.

    This was Bob Seger in 1969, when it was The Bob Seger System. Only 4 members at that time, obviously no horn section. NEXT UP: "Traveling Man/Beautiful Loser" but PLEASE make sure it's the "Live Bullet" version. Seriously the transition between the 2 songs are 2 or 3 minutes of the best live rock ever recorded. After that there are a number of songs of "Live Bullet" that really need to be heard. Get out of Denver, Katmandu, Heavy Music (this was actuallys Bobs first "hit" just missing the top 100 in 1966) and Jody Girl. Ah heck, just do the whole album! lol

      He sounds like a different artist on BV every song. This was his first national hit more than 50 years ago ... Before he exploded with Live Bullet and Night Moves. Glenn Frye if The Eagles was singing backup. Still in my top five after all these years. Bob is the real deal. Not a pretentious bone in his body. Keep on rocking Seger.

    I have to write a movie script and have this put in the soundtrack.

    Definitely different than his other hits. Maybe because he hadn’t formed the Silver Bullet Band. I just love this man, though.
