Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Still the Same

"Still the Same" is a song written and recorded by the American singer Bob Seger in 1978. It peaked at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Still the Same" is a midtempo ballad that begins with what Billboard Magazine describes as a "catchy piano" part. According to Ed Harrison, the harmony vocals by Venetta Fields, Clydie King and Shirley Matthews give the song an r&b flavor. The lyrics describe a gambler who the singer has admired but in the end walks away from because he won't change." Seger has said that he has been asked for years who the song is about, and that it is actually an amalgamation of characters he met when he first went to Hollywood.
