BIOGRAPHY OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Bruce Springsteen, full name Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, is an American singer-songwriter. He was born on September 23, 1949, to Douglas Frederick Springsteen and Adele Annin Long Branch, New Jersey, at Monmouth Medical Center.

He attended Freehold Borough Secondary School. He graduated from high school, but felt so uncomfortable that he skipped his own graduation ceremony. He briefly attended Ocean County College, but dropped out.

Springsteen grew up hearing New Jersey singer Frank Sinatra on the radio. He first became interested in music himself when, in 1956, at the age of seven, he saw Elvis Presley on The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1964 Springsteen bought his first guitar.

On January 5, 1973, Columbia Records released Bruce Springsteen’s debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ On May 22, 1974, Jon Landau’s “Growing Young with Rock and Roll” was published in The Real Paper. Columbia chose a line from Landau’s long column to use in a marketing campaign: ‘I saw the future of rock and roll, and his name is Bruce Springsteen.’

On October 27, 1975, in a publicity stunt engineered by producer Mike Appel, Springsteen appeared simultaneously on the covers of Time (“Rock’s New Sensation”) and Newsweek (“Making of a Rock Star”) magazines. On July 8, 1978, Springsteen’s first music video, “Rosalita”, and other songs were later released as part of the Promise box set.

OCTOBER 4, 1982 saw the release of Nebraska, a stripped down and disturbing solo album which, although representing a major left shift for a mainstream rock artist, was critically acclaimed and loved by fans. Bruce had attempted to revisit the songs himself and with his band throughout the year, but the music captured on the disc is what he originally recorded on acoustic guitar and harmonica in January 1982, brutal, intimate and uncompromising.

The Born in the USA album was released on June 4, 1984. The album proved to be the best-selling album of 1985 in the United States and Springsteen’s most successful album, producing a record-breaking run of seven Top 10 success. Rolling Stone faithfully defined the spirit of the album, calling Springsteen the “Voice of the Decade”. more hurtful, tighter than they would have thought. But unlike the killers and losers of Nebraska, the characters of Born in the USA hold back the night as best they can, whether it’s singing, laughing, dancing, sucking, reminiscing, or engaging. in desperate love affairs. There was something joyful about the way these people faced their difficulties. It’s like Springsteen saying that life is meant to last and we all make peace with private suffering and shared grief as best we can. The album cover, photographed by Annie Leibovitz, became an iconic image of the era.

On OCTOBER 6, 1987, Springsteen’s studio sequel to Born in the USA, Tunnel of Love, shipped double platinum. Richard Harrington reviews Tunnel of Love for The Washington Post: “It’s not that Springsteen is the first writer to tackle the confusions of the heart…but in publishing such an introspective and intimate collection on the heels of the hard-core Born in USA and the heroically structured Live set is an intriguing move. It contains some of Springsteen’s most personal work and may very well provide the demythology he must be dreaming of. ‘

On SEPTEMBER 2, 1988, following the Tunnel of Love Express Tour, Bruce and the E Street Band traveled to more remote locations as part of the Amnesty International Human Rights Now! Tower. The six-week global ride begins tonight in London, soon bringing Springsteen and the E Streeters (along with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman and Youssou N’Dour) to Greece, India, South Africa and Central and South America. South. .

On March 21, 1994, Springsteen won Best Original Song for “Streets of Philadelphia,” from Jonathan Demme’s film Philadelphia, becoming the first rock ‘n roll artist to win an Oscar in that category.

On January 9, 1995, Springsteen reconvened the E Street Band, including both Nils Lofgren and Steve Van Zandt, at New York’s Hit Factory to record new material for his debut Greatest Hits effort. For Clarence Clemons, who was most shocked by the band’s breakup, ‘standing in front of the mic playing with the E Street Band was the best gift I’ve ever received in my life.’ The band spent Clemons’ birthday on January 11 in the studio, recording together for the first time in nearly a decade. Ernie Fritz’s feature-length documentary Blood Brothers captures the studio reunion, as well as the Big Man’s cake.

After years of induction and jamming with rock legends at the annual ceremony, Bruce Springsteen was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 1999. On July 30, 2002, three years after the band’s rededication , Springsteen’s twelfth studio album, The Rising became E Street’s first album in 18 years since 1984 Born the USA The Rising is a moving artistic response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Debuting at number one on the charts Billboard’s The Rising goes gold in its first week, led by its powerful title track, which showcases both the real-world terror faced by first responders and a spiritually transcendent “dream of life.”

Springsteen and his new Sessions Band hit the road on April 30, 2006 in support of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, beginning in the birthplace of their sonic gumbo, New Orleans. March 23, 2009 saw the second leg of the E Street Band’s magical tour, featuring the entire sign collection, full album performances, multiple festival dates and the scorching debut of Jay Weinberg.

Springsteen’s 17th studio album Wrecking Ball was released on March 5, 2012. The album debuted at No. 1 in 16 countries, marking his 10th No. 1 album in the United States, led by lead single “We Take Care Of Our Own”. The album largely focused on the American experience after the economic crash of 2008, and would later earn three Grammy nominations and spark the year-and-a-half-long Wrecking Ball Tour that saw performances in North America. and the South, in Europe and Australia.

On February 8, 2013, MusiCares honored Bruce Springsteen as the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year, celebrating his outstanding artistic achievements as well as his philanthropic work. Proceeds from the event provided vital support to MusiCares, which ensures that people in the music business have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need. The event, hosted by The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, featured tribute performances from Elton John, Neil Young, Sting, Eddie Vedder and Mumford & Sons, among others, as well as a moving acceptance speech from Bruce himself. .

To cap off the seemingly endless Wrecking Ball World Tour at the end of 2013, Springsteen kicked off 2014 with the release of his 18th studio album, High Hopes, earning him the 11th No. 1 album of his career.
