Steve Miller Band
The
Steve Miller Band is an American
rock band formed in 1966 in
San Francisco,
California. The band is led by
Steve Miller on
guitar and lead vocals. The group had a string of mid- to late-1970s hit singles that are staples of
classic rock, as well as several earlier
psychedelic rock albums. Miller left his first band to move to San Francisco and form the Steve Miller Blues Band. Shortly after Harvey Kornspan negotiated the band's contract with
Capitol Records in 1967, the band shortened its name to the Steve Miller Band. In February 1968, the band recorded its debut album, ''
Children of the Future''. It went on to produce the albums ''
Sailor'', ''
Brave New World'', ''
Your Saving Grace'', ''
Number 5'', ''
The Joker'', ''
Fly Like an Eagle'', ''
Book of Dreams'', among others. The band's ''
Greatest Hits 1974–78'', released in 1978, sold over 13 million copies. In 2016, Steve Miller was inducted as a solo artist in the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
