Bruce Springsteen

He has recorded both rock albums and folk-oriented works, and his lyrics often address the experiences and struggles of working-class Americans.

It was certified 15x
Platinum in the US and has sold 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Seven of its singles reached the top 10 of the "Billboard" Hot 100 including the title track, which was a bitter commentary on the treatment of Vietnam veterans — some of whom were Springsteen's friends.
Advocating for the rights of the common working-class man, the song made a huge political impact.
Springsteen's other best-known songs include "Born to Run" (1975), "Thunder Road" (1975), "Badlands" (1978), "Hungry Heart" (1980), "Dancing in the Dark" (1984), "Glory Days" (1985), "Brilliant Disguise" (1987), "Human Touch" (1992), "Streets of Philadelphia" (1994), and
"The Rising" (2002).

The song peaked at# 26 on the" Billboard" R&B chart in 1981 by Warner Bros.
The beat of the song is notably sampled in the H- Town song" Knockin' Da Boots" and the 2 Pac song" Keep Ya Head Up".
The song was written, arranged, composed, performed and produced by Roger Troutman.
Night (Bruce Springsteen song)
" Night" is a song by Bruce Springsteen which first appeared on the" Born to Run" album in 1975.
Although this is one of the lesser known songs from" Born to RunNight" has become somewhat of a stage favorite for the E Street Band.
The song was not immediately played during the 1975 portions of the Born to Run Tour, but later became a frequent set- opener, especially during the 1976 and 1977 legs.
It was still sometimes being used as an opening song decades later during the 2007 – 2008 Magic Tour.
The mood of the music is mostly exciting as are the lyrics which have a romantic quality as well.
The music is propelled by Gary Tallent's bass.
It is similar to the album's famous title track in that both songs deal with men and their fast cars.
The lyrics mostly describe the central character as a blue collar worker who, after working a full day, runs off into the night to go drag racing and search for the love of a woman.
For the protagonist, the only freedom and joy comes when he is on the highway, and he lives for the nights and weekends when he can escape work.
Like a couple of other songs on" Born to RunTenth Avenue Freeze- Out" and" She's the One", the story of the relationship is told in a flashback.
The desperation and darkness of the lyrics makes a strong contrast with some of the other songs on the" Born to Run" album, which glorify night life.
Although" Night" and" Born to Run" show Springsteen beginning to deal seriously with blue collar protagonists, he would develop the theme further on his next album," Darkness on the Edge of Town", in which he would portray additional facets of blue collar working life on songs such as" Badlands Adam Raised a Cain The Promised LandProve It All Night" and, especially," Factory".
This central theme would later be explored on" The River", especially in the song" Out in the Street", and became a focus of Springsteen's post-" Darkness on the Edge of Town" songwriting dealing with working class characters leading dead- end lives.
In 1979, it was released as the B-side of the" Rosalita( Come Out Tonight)" single in Europe.
The song was recorded in a style similar to the album's title track" Born to Run".
Springsteen wanted to emulate record producer Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique where multiple instruments played at the same time with their sounds bleeding into each other's microphones.
The result is a" wash" of sound where some individual instruments are difficult to define, yet blend in to create a dense orchestral ambiance.

"Darkness on the Edge of Town" is the last song on the 1978 album, "Darkness on the Edge of Town", by Bruce Springsteen.

A thematic album whose songs portray the struggles of the less-fortunate, not only to survive, but to keep their spirit and will to live alive, the song, "Darkness On the Edge of Town", portrays a hard luck loser in life, who refuses to give up and quit.
Springsteen's fourth album, released three years after "Born To Run", his 1975 effort that catapulted him to the top of the rock and roll world, was delayed two years because of legal problems with his former manager, Mike Appel.
Expectations were again sky-high, after he took one year to complete the album.
