Legend was Publicly RIDICULED by a BUNCH of Rednecks…He Hit Back with 70s SMASH! | Professor of Rock

Poll: Who is your pick for the most DISTINCT VOICE in Rock? A voice that's unmistakable?

Bob Seger went to Muscle Shoals to record an album when he was an unknown. The session musicians played behind him, and told him that his time was up before he had recorded all of his songs. They explained they were paid for a session, and not a song, so this had led to confusion. Bob told them he didn't have the money, but he would include the band in on any royalties. They shook hands. When the legendary Muscle Shoals band had a video telling their amazing story, they praised Bob for keeping his word and sending them their share of the royalties, based on a handshake. Respect. I saw Bob in concert, and he rocked.

Seger's vocals have a way of carving right into your soul. He truly is a musical treasure.

Professor. I'm a trucker, have been driving long haul for 32 yrs. I can assure you. Bob Seger and the Silverbullet Band have always been part of old truckers. Turn the Page, that is our song for sure. I'v had music band tour busses stop near enough to my truck, and they always give a raised fist. Specially if I have Turn the Page going. That song is a bond between truckers and music bands. We understand the same basic life. Long empty and lonely roads. Thank you for doing this song. You have honored Bob Seger smartly. Thank You.

When the economy collapsed in 2008, I lost my job and the only one I could find was a 2 hr drive to/ from the office. I was a single dad and had real threats of losing my kids if I relocated or failed to get them to/from school. So every day, I drove 2 hrs to work and every night 2 hrs back. I had to rely on help getting the kids where they needed to be. I had this job for nine months. The longest nine months of my life and this song was my theme song. Every time I hear it I think of the hours and hours of being on the road. I never missed a single night with my kids and they are now both adults who are on their way to successful lives and we have a strong relationship. It’s funny, but that song really does describe the monotony and misery. I’m glad that period is over. And I’m glad for this song. It reminded me I wasn’t alone as I endured a difficult time.

A family friend used to cater to the bands that would come through Memphis, Tennessee in the 70s and 80s. He said Bob Seiger was one of the most humble and nicest entertainers.

Seger. Legend. Treasure. Classic Americana Songwriter. Storyteller. So many fantastic songs, not nearly as many "hits" as he should have. Thankfully his songs are a big part of my life growing up an a source of so many memories. Thank you Mr. Seger. And thank you Prof for this video.

My mom loved Bob Seger even when she was in her last days of Alzheimers. She actually was cognizant when I showed her a few Seger videos on my ipad during her last hospital stay. Special times. I even played Accompany Me at her funeral. -- We have seen Seger in Houston several times since the 70s as a family and he ALWAYS brought the house down. It's the only concert where EVERYONE is up and dancing throughout the whole show. Fun times! Thank you Bob for having such a big heart for your fans. ❤

Bob Seger has been my favorite for decades. Legend .

No discussion of the best of 70's rock can be had without Bob Seger.

Love Bob he had a voice like no other. As soon as he started singing you knew who it was

One more comment than I previously posted, and I hope somehow he gets this, I’m only one of millions but I’d like to say while he’s still pumping oxygen THANK YOU BOB, YOU WOVE YOUR SONGS INTO THE MOST MEMERABLE YEARS OF MY LIFE!

I sang this at a funeral in 1986 for a young woman killed in a car wreck. A bunch of us were getting ready for Aspenfest in Ruidoso NM. She missed a turn, rolled and was thrown out. She was 19. I still go by her grave a couple of times a year. Her parents are gone, one brother and another lives in Houston. Thirty-eight years gone. Turn the page.

Bob Seger is one of classic rock's finest.storytellers relatable, heart breaking and fantastic Bob's music will move you, rock you and make you feel wonderful

This song reminds me of my divorce. I was leaving for the final time, I was listening to the local classic rock station as always. I was on the edge of town (Corning NY) when Turn the Page came on. Long story short by the end of the song I realized I was starting a new chapter in my life and I cried like a baby for the first time in weeks. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks to you Mr Seger and to you to Professor, keep the hit’s coming!! 🖖✌️

We were young and strong, we were running against the wind. A perfect description of life as a teenager: full of youth but lacking in experience.

Aside from being a Seger fan through the 70s, Turn the Page has always held a special place in my heart. Saturday morning September 25th, 1982, I was setting in my car preparing to go to my father's funeral and as soon as I turned the key, I heard the Saxaphone cry through my radio and I remember it to this day almost 42 years later. That song and Bob Segers voice had a comforting effect.

The beauty of that song, other than Seger's amazing voice and the incredible sax, was that you could FEEL how weary the person in the song was. Even though most of us will never be in that situation, we related to it.

Bob Seger is such a legend, he’s the American Heartland poet. Turn The Page, that haunting sax by Alto Reed (RIP) really makes the song.

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. ...You just can't have it all. Seger's lyrics always deeper than most song writers. Lucky to ser him 5 times.
