Nacido en 1945, crece en Detroit. En 1966 empieza a grabar como Bob Seger & Last Heard, consiguiendo algunos éxitos locales y buenas críticas.
Edita su primer LP en 1969: "Ramblin' Gamblin' man", pero poco después abandona eventualmente la música para estudiar.
En 1971 ya está actuando de nuevo, pero no comienza a obtener resultados hasta que crea tras él a una formación fija: The Silver Bullet Band, con los que graba "Beautiful Loser" en 1975.
