“Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” #17 2/15/1969

The breakthrough record for Bob Seger. He’d been scuffling around his native Detroit for years before succeeding with his band, the Bob Seger System, but wouldn’t chart this highly again until 1977’s “Night Moves.” I remember this one from Top 40 (at the time) AM blowtorch WKYC in Cleveland, which blasted into my area at night. The mixed-way-too-loud backing vocal was by Seger’s bud Glenn Frey, long before the Eagles. Glenn and Bob were dating twin sisters at the time.
