"Growin' Up" by Bruce Springsteen

One of the most successful rock and roll artists of all time, Bruce aka "The Boss" Springsteen needs no introduction. We mentioned some eerie parallels with Rick Springfield regarding his career on the charts already, so no need to cover that ground again.

Springsteen has appeared on the charts across four decades since the 70s (despite releasing some excellent music, he didn't secure a chart appearance in the 2010's), landed numerous Grammy Awards, an Oscar (for "Streets Of Philadelphia" from the movie Philadelphia; his song hit #9 in 1994 and is his last Top 10 single to date), is in the R&R Hall of Fame, and received Kennedy Center Honors in 2009.

"Growin' Up" goes way back to the beginning of his budding career. This song from 1973's "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J." showcased Springsteen's poetic lyrics and jubilant songwriting style. What a thrill to have watched this artist grow over the decades.
