One of rock music's all-time greats, the Steve Miller Band has sold more than 30 million records in a career spanning more than 40 years. His trademark blues-rock sound made him one of the key artists in classic rock radio. The Steve Miller Band is brand name rock that millions have come to trust.
At the height of the classic rock movement, the Steve Miller Band was one of the defining figures. His 1978 album, "Greatest Hits 1974-78," became one of the best-selling releases of all-time, selling millions every year through the end of the century. Miller scored another No. 1 hit in 1982 with "Abracadabra," a number he put together with drummer Mallaber and SMB guitarist Kenny Lee Lewis. His 1986 single, "I Want To Make the World Turn Around," was lodged at the top of album rock radio playlists for several weeks, from the album "Living In the 20th Century," which was conceived, at least in part, as a tribute to one of Miller's heroes, bluesman Jimmy Reed. His 1989 blues and jazz album, "Born 2B Blue," not only reunited him with producer Ben Sidran, a former member of both the Steve Miller Band and the Ardells, time in several years. In the intervening years, a new radio format called classic rock swept the
radio dial in every city, with the Steve Miller Band records front and center on all the playlists. Miller's return to performing was greeted by a new generation of fans, young people introduced by classic rock radio and weaned on "Greatest Hits 1974-8." His last studio album, "Wide River," went largely unnoticed in 1993, while his '70s hits were still on the radio everywhere, more popular than many hit records of the day.
