Profile of the Day: Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen

Happy birthday, Bruce Springsteen! Today The Boss turns 66.

Springsteen was born on September 23, 1949 in Long Branch, New Jersey to Doug and Adele Springsteen. He was first inspired to pursue music after watching Elvis Presley’s performance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956.

He skyrocketed to fame in 1975 after releasing his third album, Born to Run. The record sold millions of copies and is often considered to be one of the best rock and roll albums in history. Springsteen had another hit on his hands when he released the album Born in the U.S.A., which became one of the best-selling albums of all time.
