A locally successful Detriot-area artitist, Bob Seger put together The Silver Bullet Band, which was an evolving group of local musicians. It was with this band that he became most successful. In 1976, he achieved national fame with two albums, the live record Live Bullet and the studio-recorded Night Moves. A roots rocker with a classic, raspy shouting voice, Seger was originally inspired by Little Richard and Elivis Presley, along with James Brown. He wrote and recorded songs dealing with blue collar themes and has had many rock n' roll hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page" and "Like A Rock".
Bruce Springsteen, who has earned the nickname "The Boss", has become known for his Americana-inspired lyrics and his heartland rock style. Born In The USA and Born To Run are his most successful studio albums to date. The subjects of their content deal with some of the struggles of blue collar American life. He has sold more than 65 million albums in the US and over 120 million albums worldwide.
