Greil Marcus suggests that &#8220;Racing in the Street&#8221; is structurally based on Morrison&#8217;s 1972 single, &#8220;Tupelo Honey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3DbTIKHYwog?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>That may or may not be true, but it&#8217;s certainly clear that Bruce was an admirer of Morrison&#8217;<em>s Tupelo Honey <\/em>album. \u00a0The title track never cracked the Top 40, but Morrison&#8217;s romantic lyrics and impassioned vocals made it a favorite of both fans and artists.<\/p>\n<p>When Bruce took the E Street Band on tour in support of his\u00a0<em>Tunnel of Love <\/em>album in 1988, he frequently added romantic covers into his setlists and sound checks. At a couple of early sound checks, he led the band through not one but three of Morrison&#8217;s hits: &#8220;Brown Eyed Girl, &#8220;Crazy Love,&#8221; and &#8220;Tupelo Honey.&#8221; The latter two
