Frankie Miller

Scottish rock singer-songwriter Frankie Miller was born Francis John Miller on November 2, 1949 in Bridgeton, an impoverished district of Glasgow. His education in music came via the rhythm-and-blues classics in his mother’s record collection. After stints with various local groups, and a brief spell in a band named Jude that also included guitarist Robin Trower, Miller struck out as a solo artist in 1972, and over the course of that decade he made his reputation as one of the finest singers and songwriters of his generation.
