>Steve Miller and keyboardist Barry Goldberg founded
>the Goldberg-Miller Blues Band along with bassist Roy
>Ruby, rhythm guitarist Craymore Stevens, and drummer
>Lance Haas after moving to Chicago to play the blues.
>The band was signed to Epic Records after playing many
>Chicago clubs. Their only release was a 45 rpm single
>on Epic Records, "The Mother Song."
>
>They appeared on Hullabaloo with the Four Tops and the
>Supremes, and gigged at a Manhattan club. Steve Miller
>moved to the burgeoning San Francisco scene and formed
>the Steve Miller Blues Band. When they signed with
>Capitol Records in 1967, they shortened their name to
>the Steve Miller Band. The quartet of guitarists
>Miller and James Cook, bassist Lonnie Turner and
>drummer Tim Davis (who replaced the departing Lance
>Haas on drums) backed Chuck Berry at a gig at the
>Fillmore West that was released as a live album.
>Guitarist Boz Scaggs joined the band soon after and
>the group performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in
>June. Their debut album Children Of The Future was
>recorded in England and released in May 1968. The
>album had no hits and didn't make the Top 100 album
>chart, but standout tracks are the acoustic tune
>"Baby's Calling Me Home" and funky blues number
>"Steppin' Stone". Closing the album is a slow, sleepy
>groove on the blues standard "Key To The Highway". The
>Steve Miller Band's second album Sailor appeared in
>October and climbed the Billboard charts to #24.
>Highlights include the single 'Livin' In The USA',
>'Lucky Man', and Boz Scaggs 'Overdrive' and
>'Dime-A-Dance Romance'.
>
>Miller's audience expanded with each album: Brave New
>World (#22, 1969) featured the hit "Space Cowboy", and
>the track "My Dark Hour" which featured Paul McCartney
>(aka Paul Ramon) on bass, Your Saving Grace (#38,
>1969), Number 5 (#23, 1970).
>
>Steve Miller suffered a broken neck after a car
>accident, and Capitol Records released the album Rock
>Love in 1971. The album featured unreleased live
>peformances (including an 11-minute jam on the title
>track) and studio material and is one of two of Steve
>Miller Band albums not to be released on CD, the other
>being Recall the Beginning... A Journey From Eden. In
>1972, the double album compilation Anthology was
>released, featuring 16 songs from the band's first
>five albums.
>
>The Joker (#2, 1973) revealed a new Steve Miller Band.
>The sound was slick and bouncy, and the title track
>became a #1 single. The album was certified platinum
>for over 1 million sales.
>
>Three years later, the Steve Miller Band returned with
>the album Fly Like An Eagle, which charted at #3.
>Three singles were released from the album: "Take The
>Money and Run" (#11), "Fly Like an Eagle" (#2) and
>their second Number One hit, "Rock 'N Me".
>
>Book Of Dreams (#2, 1977) also included three hits:
>"Jet Airliner" (#8), "Jungle Love" (#23), and
>"Swingtown" (#17). 1982's Abracadabra album gave Steve
>Miller his third Number One hit with the title track.
