Samuel Roy Hagar (born 13 October 1947 in Salina, California, USA) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and entrepreneur. Hagar came to prominence in the 1970s with the hard rock band Montrose. He then launched a successful solo career and enjoyed further commercial success when he replaced David Lee Roth as the lead singer of Van Halen in 1985, but left in 1996. He returned to the band from 2003 to 2005. On March 12, 2007, Hagar was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Van Halen. His musical style primarily consists of hard rock, heavy metal, and glam metal.
Sammy Hagar performed 'Winner Takes It All' on the Over the Top (1987) soundtrack and I had been looking for an Over the Top related item signed by Sammy for a while. I purchased a signed 7" record sleeve from a seller in the RACC Facebook group. According to the seller he personally received this signature from Sammy when he was the opening act for an Aerosmith concert in the Detroit area, 'probably around 2012 or 2013', although I was able to confirm he opened for Aerosmith in 2010.
