Tonight’s mystery artist comes from a small family and at one point in time put his career on hold for a year to care for his ailing mother. Can you guess who this family man might be??

This story was told to an ABC Special reporter by Bob Seger who grew up very close to his mom. At one time he shares He, his mom and brother lived in one room with a hot plate. During her life she developed TB which took one of her lungs and eventually in her 70s  she took a downhill slide for 3 years. It was just he and his brother and he felt it fell to him to carry the ball as he put it . So when she was near the end of her life he took a year off completely from his career so he could see her every day.  Bob also says in the interview how he sees his fans coming from long distances and paying for their tickets as a responsibility to give them his best every performance.  And that is why we love this hard working, good son.

Here is tonight’s featured song.
