Bob Seger has remarked Miller was a huge influence on him, in an article published in 1978, in Rolling Stone magazine. Miller was raised at 38 Colvend Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow with his parents, Kathy and Frank, and elder sisters Letty and Anne. He attended Sacred Heart Primary school then Sacred Heart Secondary school known locally as Pirn Street School. He was an altar boy in Sacred Heart Chapel. He also played football for the school team and Harmony Row Boys Club.He first became aware of the power of Rock and R&B through his mother’s record collection. She had a fondness for Ray Charles while his sisters introduced him to Little Richard and Elvis Presley. He identified instinctively with Little Richard’s flamboyant aggression; The music was alive, exciting, I loved it. I realised later that I could get my own aggression out through music. R&B and Soul Music, I just knew was what I really loved. He started writing songs at the age of nine after being given a guitar by his parents. "I Can't Change It" written when he was just twelve years old was later recorded by Ray Charles. (en)

  • Frankie Miller (* 2. November 1949 in Bridgeton Glasgow, Schottland) ist ein britischer Sänger. Frankie Miller ist ein schottischer Soul-Blues-Rock-Sänger, der 1972 gemeinsam mit Robin Trower, Clive Bunker und James Dewar die vielversprechende Gruppe Jude gründete, die nicht mehr als ein paar Konzerte in England gab und sich dann auflöste. Solo hatte Frankie Miller Ende der 1970er und Anfang der 1980er zwar einigen Erfolg, aber nie den ganz großen Durchbruch geschafft, wie etwa sein schottischer Kollege Rod Stewart. 1974 sang er auf der Thin Lizzy-LP "Nightlife" im Duett mit Phil Lynott den Song "Still in Love with you". Sein größter Erfolg war der internationale Hit Darlin' (1978). Im August 1994 erlitt er eine Hirnblutung mit monatelagem Krankenhausaufenthalt. Nach langer Genesungsphase hat er 2003 mit Will Jennings den Song Sun Goes Up Sun Goes Down geschrieben. Vor seiner Erkrankung hat er Aufnahmen mit Joe Walsh gemacht, die 2006 unter dem Titel Long Way Home veröffentlicht wurden. (de)
