That's the right riff but what the hell key is that

So the song is FIRE by Pointer Sisters
Written by the The Boss


It was originally written for Elvis, he's a huge Elvis Fan


So legend has it, he mailed Elvis the demo, and Elvis died before it ever got there.


Pointer Sisters ended up doing it and it became a mega hit reaching #2.


Bruce in the early days didnt want to be know for a hit song, he was making his hay live and with albums, so if he thought a song might be a hit, hed give it away.


not many people would do that.


Songs like Blinded By The Light
became a world beater classic, for Manfred Mann, which they took to a whole nother level. still one of the best songs on radio.


He wrote Because the Night, same fear it might be a hit, he gave it to Patty Smith, who had a hit with it, and later the b52's did it.


He wrote protection for Donna Summer, and alot of smaller hits in the 70's


When these artists were making more money than he was at his own songs, his manager said enough is enough your not giving any more songs away.


His rare top hit was Hungry Heart he nearly gave to the ramones... manager said no.


since then he only wrote for himself
