Artist Biography For Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American singer and songwriter. He has released 21 studio albums, most of which feature his backing band, the E Street Band. Originally from the Jersey Shore, he is an originator of heartland rock, combining mainstream rock musical styles with narrative songs about working class American life. Nicknamed "the Boss", his career has spanned six decades. Springsteen is known for his poetic, socially conscious lyrics and energetic stage performances, sometimes lasting up to four hours. In 1973, Springsteen released his first two albums, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, neither of which earned him a large audience. He changed his style and reached worldwide popularity with Born to Run in 1975. It was followed by Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) and The River (1980), which topped the US Billboard 200 chart. After the solo recording, Nebraska (1982), he reunited with the E Street Band for Born in the U.S.A. (1984), his most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, including the title track. Springsteen recorded his next three albums, Tunnel of Love (1987), Human Touch (1992), and Lucky Town (1992) using mostly session musicians. He reassembled the E Street Band for 1995's Greatest Hits, then recorded the sparse acoustic The Ghost of Tom Joad, followed by the EP Blood Brothers (1996), his last release of the decade. Springsteen dedicated his 2002 album The Rising to the victims of the September 11 attacks. He released two more folk albums, Devils & Dust (2005) and We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006), followed by two more albums with the E Street Band: Magic (2007) and Working on a Dream (2009). The next two, Wrecking Ball (2012) and High Hopes (2014), topped album charts worldwide. His latest releases include the solo Western Stars (2019), the E Street Band-featuring Letter to You (2020) and a solo cover album Only the Strong Survive (2022). When Letter to You went to No.2 in the US, Springsteen became the first artist to score a Top Five hit across six consecutive decades. Among the album era's prominent acts, Springsteen has sold more than 140 million records worldwide and more than 71 million in the United States, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award (for Springsteen on Broadway). Springsteen was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, named MusiCares person of the year in 2013, and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2016. He ranked 23rd on Rolling Stone's list of the Greatest Artists of All Time, which described him as being "the embodiment of rock & roll".

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: I'm Goin' Down

"I'm Goin' Down" Is A 1984 Song Written And Performed By American Rock Singer Bruce Springsteen. In 1985 It Became The Sixth Single Released From His Massively Successful Album Born In The U.S.A. "I'm Goin' Down" Was Recorded In May 1982 During The First Wave Of Born In The U.S.A. Sessions. The Track Went On And Off And Back On The Short List To Make The Album Finally Bumping "Pink Cadillac" Out Of A Place And Into The B-Side Queue. The Song Peaked At #9 On The Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Charts In Fall 1985. It Was The Sixth Of A Record-Tying Seven Top 10 Hit Singles To Be Released From Born In The U.S.A. There Was Some Controversy Surrounding The Release Of Yet Another Single From The Album Which Had Been Out For Well Over A Year At That Point. Cliff Bernstein Manager Of Def Leppard And Dokken Said "I Think A Sixth Single Is A Little Bit Of Overkill." No Music Video Or Remixes Were Made For The Song. One Of The Least-Performed Springsteen Songs "I'm Goin' Down" Was Irregularly Played In The 1984 First Leg Of The Born In The U.S.A. Tour Then Played Not At All For A Long Stretch Then Revived During The Final Summer 1985 Leg Usually Alternating With "Darlington County" In The Set List. After That Tour "I'm Goin' Down" Disappeared From Sight Completely For Almost Two Decades Until It Made Three Appearances In 2003 During The Rising Tour. Indeed "I'm Goin' Down" Was Largely Forgotten Not Only By The General Rock And Pop Audience But By The Bruce Faithful As Well Who Have Seen In Preference Several Non-Single Tracks From Born In The U.S.A. Such As "Working On The Highway" "Bobby Jean" And "No Surrender" Became Standard Parts Of The Springsteen Repertoire. The Song Had Only Been Played 44 Times Live As Of 2008. By The Mid-Late 2000s There Was A Modicum Of Renewed Interest In The Song With Frank Black Recording It On The 2006 Compilation Snake Oil And In Early 2008 Kid Harpoon And Florence And The Machine Doing A Cover Of The Song.
