It doesn’t get steamier than two Bruces teaming up for an accordion-powered duet on Hot Chocolate’s 1975 surprise hit, “You Sexy Thing.”
One time only: Bruce joins The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, and a host of other all-stars to back Stevie Wonder on his 1966 classic “Uptight (Everything’s Alright).”
One time only: Bruce joins Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers on a blistering cover of The Rolling Stones’ anthem “Gimme Shelter.”
Bruce and Jimmy Fallon (as Neil Young) perform the unlikeliest of covers in one of Bruce’s most viral moments. Watch the performance and backstory inside.
One time only: Bruce and Bob Dylan perform Dylan’s classic “Forever Young” at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum inaugural concert.
Originally meant for The River before Bruce and the band leant their talents to Gary U.S. Bonds’ comeback album, “Jole Blon” still (sort of) qualifies as Bruce’s first officially released cover.
The E Street Band finally gets an official recording credit in 1977 when Steve Van Zandt recruits them to back Ronnie Spector in the studio. Listen to Ronnie and the band cover Billy Joel’s “Say Goodbye to Hollywood.”
Why does Bruce have so much trouble getting through “Oh, Pretty Woman?” Who knows, but it’s fun to watch him try. Check out a bevy of great performances with Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, and John Fogerty.
Watch Jesse Malin and Bruce Springsteen team up in the studio and on stage for Jesse’s gorgeous, heartbreaking ode to his mom, “Broken Radio.” It’s one of my all-time favorite Springsteen collaborations.
