Jones III, and recorded by Bob Seger for his 1978 album "Stranger in Town." It was also released as a single in 1979. It is a sentimentalized look back at the music of the original rock 'n' roll era. The song gained renewed popularity after being featured in the 1983 film "Risky Business". It has since become a standard in popular music and was ranked number two on the Amusement & Music Operators Association's survey of
Bob Seger the band as well, being replaced by Dan Watson. "Mongrel", with the powerful single "Lucifer", was considered to be a strong album by many critics and Detroit fans, but failed to do well commercially. The Bob Seger System was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame in 2006. After "Mongrel" (1970) failed to live up to the success of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" (1969), The System dissipated. For a short period of time following the breakup, Seger had ambitions to be a one-man act. In 1971, Seger released his first solo album, the all-acoustic "Brand New Morning".
