About Steve Miller (musician)
Steven Haworth Miller (born October 5, 1943) is an American musician. He is the frontman, principal songwriter, lead singer, lead guitarist and only continuous member of the Steve Miller Band, which he founded in 1966. He began his career in blues and blues rock and evolved to a more pop-oriented arena rock sound during the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, releasing popular singles and albums. Miller was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. == Early years == Born in Milwaukee, Miller received his first exposure to music from his mother Bertha, whom he described as a remarkable jazz-influenced singer, and his physician father George ("Sonny") who, in addition to his profession as a pathologist, was a jazz enthusiast and an accomplished amateur recording engineer. Guitar virtuoso Les Paul and his musical partner Mary Ford were regular visitors at the Miller house. The Millers were the best man and matron of honor at the December 1949 Paul/Ford wedding, and Paul became Steve's godfather. Les Paul heard six-year-old Steve on a wire recording made by his father. The boy was "banging away" on a guitar given to him by his uncle, K. Dale Atterbury.
