For more than 50 years, musician and songwriter Jim Peterik has been turning out hits, initially for the Ides of March, with their 1970 classic, "Vehicle," about the friendly stranger in the black sedan; as a solo artist, and formerly of Survivor, which won a Grammy for "Eye of the Tiger," from the movie, "Rocky III." Peterik has never written a heartbreak song, because he married his first love, Karen, the inspiration for "Vehicle" and many of his other hits.
