Frankie Miller, born Francis John Miller on November 2, 1949, in Bridgeton, Glasgow, is a renowned Scottish rock singer-songwriter. His musical education was influenced by the rhythm-and-blues classics from his mother’s record collection. After performing with various local bands, including a stint in Jude alongside guitarist Robin Trower, Miller embarked on a solo career in 1972, establishing himself as one of the finest singers and songwriters of his generation throughout the 1970s. Despite only achieving one major hit, "Darlin’," in 1978—a song he did not write—Miller's songwriting has been celebrated by numerous prominent artists, such as Rod Stewart, Bob Seger, Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, and members of the Eagles. On August 25, 1994, Miller suffered a severe brain aneurysm in New York while working on new material with Joe Walsh and Nicky Hopkins. He was in a coma for five months, and his survival was uncertain. Following 15 months of hospitalization and extensive rehabilitation, he re-learned how to walk and talk, but the incident ended his active music career. Nevertheless, Frankie Miller considers himself fortunate to have survived, leaving behind a rich legacy through his albums from the 70s and early 80s.
