In 1973 he put together "The Silver Bullet Band," an evolving group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful. In 1976, he achieved national fame with two albums, the live record Live Bullet, and the studio record Night Moves (Night Moves (album)). On his studio albums he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, appearing on several of Segers best selling singles and albums.
