Miller started with a spacey blues sound that drew on the San Francisco ballroom bands of the Sixties. Then a 1972 car accident sidelined him for nearly a year. He came back with an irrepressible pop-rock sound that dominated Seventies radio: slick guitar boogie as catchy as Abba and as danceable as disco. "Rock 'n Me," "Take the Money and Run," "Dance, Dance, Dance" and the title track kept Fly Like an Eagle on the charts for nearly two years.
