Biography
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey. Springsteen's recordings have included both commercially accessible rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run, showcase a talent for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily American life; he has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and 120 million worldwide and he has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award. He is widely regarded by many as one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, and in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him as the 23rd greatest artist of all time in its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list.

This is the best Bruce Springsteen song I've ever heard!
Love the Patti Smith version, bur wonderful to hear Bruce do it himself. As an aside: The Promise, the title track, is something particularly special. I had a vinyl bootleg of it that I played to death and it still moves me now over 30 years later.
One of the best Springsteen tracks ... If you love The Boss have a listen to The Gaslight Anthem.
Springsteen has several fine albums under his belt: 'The River', was always my fave. Til I heard the radio-ignored masterpiece 'Nebraska'. Chase this up. It's worth the price for the extraordinary 'Highway Patrolman', which cuts the ice like Dylan in '63.
Sorry Bruce - thought you was David Burn!
One of his best.
