Bruce Springsteen’s song Thunder Road remains one of his most beloved live performances, despite him singing the lyrics incorrectly for decades.
Known as one of the defining voices of American popular music, Springsteen emerged in the 1970s as a pioneer of heartland rock. His songs channel social observations about working-class life into accessible rock, earning him immense success and respect.
There’s little left for Springsteen to conquer in music. Nicknamed “The Boss” both for his generosity and leadership in the industry, he is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters ever. He masterfully blends deeply personal ballads with wide-reaching anthems.
Across 21 studio albums, Springsteen has consistently delivered powerful works that reflect his own life and serve as a broader chronicle of the American experience. His music captures the spirit of countless cities and towns throughout the nation.
Like many musicians, Springsteen’s inspiration began after seeing The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show as a teenager.
"The Boss — nicknamed in part for his altruistic tendencies and partly because of his command over the music business — has rightly been regarded as one of the best songwriters the world has ever known."
Author's summary: Bruce Springsteen, a seminal figure in American rock, has influenced generations with his heartfelt storytelling and remains notable even for singing some lyrics "wrong" over decades.
