Robert Clark Seger (/ˈsiːɡər/;
born May 6, 1945) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. 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, breaking through with his first album, Ramblin'
Gamblin' Man (which contained his first national hit of the same name) in
1968. 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, with a group of Detroit-area
musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the álbum
Live Bullet (1976), 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 álbum 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, powerful
voice, Seger wrote and recorded songs that dealt with love, women, and blue-collar themes, and is an example of a heartland rock artist. He has recorded many hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "Still the Same", "We've Got Tonite",
"Against the Wind", "You'll
Accomp'ny Me", "Hollywood Nights",
"Shame on the Moon",
"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. He also co-wrote the Eagles'
number-one hit "Heartache Tonight",
and his recording of "Old
Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs
of the Century in 2001.
With a career spanning six decades, Seger has
sold more than 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.
Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the
Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. Seger
was named Billboard's
2015 Legend of Live honoree at the 12th annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards,
held November 18–19 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York. He announced his farewell tour in
September 2018.
"Beautiful Loser" is a song
written and recorded by American rock artist Bob Seger.
It was the title track on his 1975 studio álbum Beautiful Loser.
The single just missed inclusion on the US Top 100, but became more widely
known when it was included on Seger's breakout album, 'Live' Bullet (1976), where it was paired with "Travelin' Man".
He wants to dream
like a young man
With the wisdom of an
old man
He wants his home and
security
He wants to live like
a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser,
where you gonna fall?
When you realize you
just can't have it all
He's your oldest and
your best friend
If you need him,
he'll be there again
He's always willing
to be second best
A perfect lodger, a
perfect guest
Beautiful loser, read
it on the wall
And realize, you just
can't have it all
Just can't have it
all, just can't have it all
Oh, oh... Can't have
it all
He'll never make any
enemies
He won't complain if
he's caught in a freeze
He'll always ask,
he'll always say please
Beautiful loser,
never take it all
'cause it's easier,
faster when you fall
You just don't need
it all
Oh, oh... You just
don't need it all.
