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.
It seems like only yesterday
I didn't have a clue
I stood alone not knowing where to turn
Now suddenly I look around
Everything looks new
I don't know why, but I think I'm startin' to
learn
They call it understanding
A willingness to grow
I'm finally understanding
There's so much I can know
Until the day you came along
I used to just get lost
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
Always seemed like no one cared
Then you took the time
And now I look and everything seems clear
You've got me understanding
You've really helped me see
I'm finally understanding
It's meant so much to me
You've got me understanding
You've given me some pride
I'm finally understanding
You're really on my side
You're really on my side
Yeah, yeah
Got me understanding
Understanding
You've got me understanding
Ooh yeah
Understanding
Understanding
You've got me understanding
For the first time
You've got me understanding
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got me understanding.
