Bruce Springsteen

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Bruce Springsteen was born September 23, 1949 in Freehold, N.J..  Growing up in southern New Jersey, Springsteen turned to rock & roll as a teenager and played in a series of bands from the mid-’60s on, varying in style from garage rock to power trio blues-rock. By the early ’70s, he was trying his hand at being a folky singer/songwriter in Greenwich Village. But when he was signed to Columbia Records in 1972, he brought into the studio many of the New Jersey-based musicians with whom he’d played over the years.  The result was “Greetings From Asbury park, N.J.” in January, 1973, which went unnoticed upon initial release, athough its leadoff track, “Blinded by the Light,” was a number one hit four years later for which band?

A)  The Amboy Dukes

B)  Boston

C)  Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

I know, easy one!
