I remember this as a kid,coming home from school and watching "Swinging Time" with Robin Seymore.. Amazing song, this has to be around '67. Even though he put out great stuff, he was still regional. He didn't break out for at least 10 more years. Old Bob, still rocking 40 something years later. His last album "Face the Promise" was excellent,a rarity for an artist that's been around so long.

I agree the greatest song never heard. I did hear this song on the radio when it 1st came out. I lived close to Cleveland and heard it on a station out of Canada caller CKLW. It was a big hit in the Cleveland area and when i went to buy the record i still can remember a large sign in the store window saying we have East Side Story sadly it got stolen by my baby sitter who was also my sister in law Bonnie Pettet. I never got another copy of it and Bob Seger never put it on a album.This song A++++

@mustang1244 I'm from Michigan and remember Seger and the Last Heard...long before anyone outside of Michigan had ever heard of them.

The real crux came with drums pounding out the intro to “East Side Story” then, as if possessed by a siren's grace, the strange sound of the guitars blended into a beat that highlighted the powerfulness of vocals and the tragic beauty of lyrics.Seemed that even some of the models were groovin' to the echo of the bands' beats during the fashion show intermission, As for me, my mind and body were focused on the sounds of The Last Heard, from “Persecution Smith” to the dancin' of the Heavy Music.

@smithc11369 have to agree; as an Ann Arborite myself, we are not metro Detroit. I think that is like saying Santa Barbara is in the LA area. No reflection on Detroit!
The "greatest" song no one has ever heard of!!!!
