[2] His career began in the late 1950s, playing and recording with popular Northwest dance-rock bands including the Elegants and the Frantics.

[3] While both were playing locally in Seattle, prior to becoming internationally famous, Jerry Miller befriended Jimi Hendrix.

The band relocated to San Francisco and, with the addition of Bob Mosley, formed the nucleus of what would become Moby Grape.

[10] More recently, "Hey Grandma" was included in the soundtrack to the 2005 film, The Interpreter, as well as being covered in 2009 by the Black Crowes, on Warpaint Live.

In the late summer of 1969, subsequent to the release of Truly Fine Citizen, Moby Grape's last album for Columbia, Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson joined with John Barrett (bass) and John "Fuzzy" Oxendine (drums) to form The Rhythm Dukes.

The Rhythm Dukes shared the stage with such artists as Albert Collins, Lee Michaels, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Canned Heat, The Grateful Dead and Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys, generally being second-billed.

Clapton called Jerry the "best guitar player in the world" when he first came to the U.S. Plant cites Miller as a major influence for Led Zeppelin – the band even played Moby Grape songs at its first rehearsal.

[16] He fronted The Jerry Miller Band, with Tom Murphy and Darin Watkins on drums and Kim Workman on bass, among other musicians.

[18] In the fall of 2007, the 60-year-old Burton had been assaulted and gravely injured in what was viewed as a random, gang-oriented attack, where those responsible have not yet been found.

[19] In the summer of 2009, Miller joined the "California '66" package tour, featuring reformed versions of The Electric Prunes and Love.

Miller substituted for Sky Saxon, who had been scheduled to perform with The Seeds, but who died unexpectedly a month before the tour was set to begin.
