Bruce Springsteen Question: Pop. Culture. History.

From Pat Z. What was the biggest Bruce Springsteen-penned song as performed by another singer or band?

Mr. Pop History – The biggest was a first. “Fire” – written by Springsteen, was a huge hit for a new girl-group, “The Pointer Sisters” back in 1979. It got to number 2 on the national charts and began a string of hits for the Pointers including “He’s So Shy,” Slow Hand,” and “I’m So Excited.”

Clarence Clemons Question… It’s Pop Culture History!

From Judy A – Was not Clarance Clemons of the Springsteen band, a football player before he was a sax player?

Mr. Pop History – That’s right. He was a lineman at Maryland State, played semipro ball and was to tryout for the Cleveland Browns as a defensive end, but an auto accident stopped it.
