More: Bruce, Jake join the Killers at Madison Square Garden Ron Aniello is the producer, Rob Lebret is the engineer, and Jon Landau is the executive producer of “Only the Strong Survive,” the follow-up to "Letter to You," the 2020 album from Springsteen and E Street Band.

More: Tour Bruce Springsteen's Jersey Shore The band was augmented by the E Street Choir and E Street Horns, many of whom are now on “On the Strong Survive.” Springsteen had a big soul moment on March 9, 2012, when he and the E Street Band took the stage at the Apollo Theater in New York City on the eve of the Wrecking Ball tour for a SiriusXM broadcast. If you’re in a nightclub when the Boss jumps on stage, more often than not, a soul or R&B classic is performed. All of them still underrated, in my opinion.”įans know Springsteen is no stranger to soul music as classic tracks often find their way into E Street Band concert setlists. I fell back in love recording these great songs, the great writers and the great singers. “I put my own spin on the singing and my team massaged and sonically modernized the most beautiful songs in the American pop songbook. “Soul music along with gospel, is some of the most vocally beautiful music ever recorded,” said Springsteen in a recent video message. It has seemingly grown stronger and more expressive over the “Springsteen on Broadway” and lockdown period of the last few years. It’s soul music for the Boss to better frame his voice, which, in his 73rd year, he’s found a new appreciation for. The legendary Sam Moore of Sam and Dave fame sings on the new Springsteen version, and Moore’s also on the album’s “Soul Days.”
The song was re-interpreted by New Brunswick R&B star Jaheim in 2002 for the hit “Put That Woman First.” So is the gem “I Forgot to Be Your Lover,” originally by William Bell.
The Walker Brothers’ baroque soul classic “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore,” originally written for Frankie Valli by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, is also on the new album. The title track comes from a classic Jerry Butler song from the 1968 album, “The Ice Man Cometh.” The album transitioned the Chicago legend from a pop R&B hitmaker to a mature soul stirrer during the era’s Black Power movement.Ī second “Ice Man Cometh” song, “Hey, Western Union Man,” is included on Springsteen’s “Only the Strong Survive.” Soul and Motown standards - including “I Wish it Would Rain” by the Temptations, “Someday We’ll Be Together” by Diana Ross and The Supremes, and the Four Tops’ “When She Was My Girl” - are included on the new album, as well as a few interesting diversions. The Springsteen version is included on the upcoming “Only the Strong Survive,” an album of soul covers, due Friday, Nov.
