The origin of American Babylon starts with Bruce and Joe’s first-ever studio collaboration.
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).”
Twice only: Bruce joins Southside Johnny on the Little Steven-penned 1991 rave-up, “I’ve Been Working Too Hard.”
One time only: Bruce joins Joe Grushecky on stage for a ferocious performance of Joe’s “I Was Born to Rock.”
Twice in the mid-nineties, Bruce and Jerry Lee Lewis tackled Lewis’ first great hit together, and both times they fell short. Let’s take a look and listen to find out why.
Bruce’s one-and-only performance of “School Is Out” was with its original recording artist back in 1981.
One time only: Bruce invites original recording artist Martha Reeves to join the E Street Band for one of her greatest hits, Motown classic “Heat Wave.”
One time only: Watch Bruce Springsteen back Darlene Love and Bette Midler on Love’s greatest (yet uncredited) hit.
It was a surprising choice for a surprise performance, but it proved so nice they did it twice.
One time only: Bruce joins Steve Earle and the Dukes on “Johnny Come Lately,” Earle’s sibling song to “Born in the U.S.A.”
