bruce springsteen Biography

Bruce Springsteen, the American singer-songwriter, was born on September 23, 1949 and grew up in Freehold Borough, New Jersey. He tours and records with the E Street Band and is noted for his poetic lyrics, heartland rock and American sentiments that center around his native state of New Jersey.

The recordings of Springsteen's have included commercial rock albums as well as folk-oriented, more somber works. “Born to Run” and “Born in the U.S.A.,” Springsteen's most successful albums, find grandeur within the struggles of the day to day American life. Springsteen has sold over 65 million U.S. albums as well as 120 million worldwide. He has also received numerous awards, including an Academy Award, two Golden Globes and 20 Grammy Awards.

In 1972, Springsteen signed a contract with Columbia Records. In January 1973, he released “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.,” his debut album. “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle,” Springsteen's second album, was released in September 1973. Springsteen found success finally when he released “Born to Run” in August 1975. The album peaked in the No. 3 spot on Billboard's 200 chart. “Darkness on the Edge of Town” was released in 1978, followed in 1980 by the double set “The River,” which showed a shift in direction for the music of Springsteen's towards a more pop-rock sound and spawned “Hungry Heart,” his first Top Ten hit single. Springsteen released “Born in the U.S.A.,” his best known album, in 1984. The set sold 15 million U.S. copies and is one of the all-time best selling albums. Bruce Springsteen has released 16 studio albums, 3 EPs, 4 compilation albums and 4 live albums. His latest studio album is “The Promise” released in 2010.
