Bruce Springsteen continued performing her " People Have the Power " at Vote for Change campaign events.

By the mid 1970s and early 1980s, the original wave of singer-songwriters had largely been absorbed into a more general pop or soft rock format, but some new artists in the singer-songwriter tradition ( including Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Mark Heard, Lucinda Williams, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush, Rickie Lee Jones, Stevie Nicks, Cheryl Wheeler, Loudon Wainwright III, The Roches and Warren Zevon ) continued to emerge, and in other cases rock and even punk rock artists such as Peter Case, Paul Collins and Paul Westerberg transitioned to careers as solo singer-songwriters.

For this album, he continued his work with Kanye West, as well as other producers such as will. i. am, Devo Springsteen, Derrick Hodge, and Karriem Riggins, as well as the only J Dilla-produced track, " So Far To Go ".

The genre declined in popularity with new forms of music and de-industrialisation in the twentieth century, but has continued to influence performers like Billy Bragg and Bruce Springsteen.

By the late 1970s and early 1980s the original wave of singer-songwriters had largely been absorbed into a more general pop or soft rock format, but some new artists in the singer-songwriter tradition ( including Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Mark Heard, Lucinda Williams, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Rickie Lee Jones, Stevie Nicks, Cheryl Wheeler and Warren Zevon ) continued to emerge, and in other cases rock and even punk rock artists such as Peter Case, Paul Collins and Paul Westerberg transitioned to careers as solo singer-songwriters.

In 1978, Springsteen returned with Darkness on the Edge of Town, which reached the top ten in the US and then the number one album The River ( 1980 ), which continued the themes of economic and personal dissolution, produced a series of hit singles, and has been seen as " getting the heartland rock bandwagon rolling ", together with the stripped down sound and darker themes of his next album Nebraska ( 1982 ).

However, although some heartland rock artists disappeared from the scene, others continued to record with critical and commercial success, most notably Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and John Mellencamp.

Springsteen also continued to use assorted members of the band on his forthcoming albums and projects.

Ramone and 49 other recording artists — including Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Lou Reed and Run DMC — collaborated on the song " Sun City ", in which they pledged they would never perform at the resort.

As a result of that ratings success, Michael Jackson would be tapped to perform at halftime during Super Bowl XXVII, and more big-name talent would follow ( U2, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen performed in subsequent years ).

They have performed in many notable venues, such as Radio City Music Hall ( where they became the first Mexican music act to lead a concert ), Sports Arena, where they joined Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson as the only musical acts to fill the arena ( earning an award for that feat ), and Auditorio Nacional of Mexico City, where they were the first Mexican group ever to perform.

Forty-nine top recording artists, including Springsteen, U2, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, and Run DMC, collaborated on a song called " Sun City " in which they pledged they would never perform at the resort.

The primary artists who had signed on to perform were Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Youssou N ' Dour and Tracy Chapman.

Bruce Springsteen was invited to perform, but declined when Dylan informed him that he could not use the E Street Band to back him.

The schedule was rearranged to squeeze the act in after Quint Davis received word in early January that Springsteen wished to perform.

Other artists to perform the song include Bon Jovi, Dylan alongside Paul Simon, Bob Marley, Phil Collins, Boy George, Mike Peters, The Animals, Wyclef Jean, Cat Power, Pat Pacino, Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Sisters of Mercy, Bryan Ferry, Meir Ariel, Yuri Shevchuk, Television, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen, Heaven, The Lost Dogs, Mungo Jerry, Luciano, Les Fradkin, Selig, Beau Jocque, Randy Crawford, Chaozz, Roger McGuinn, Cold Chisel, Zé Ramalho, DMX, Sandy Denny, Antony and the Johnsons, GWAR, Neil Young with Dylan, Roger Waters, Herman Brood, Nazareth, S Vremena Na Vreme, Angela Aki, Sunny Jim Band, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Dolly Parton, The Red Army Chorus and Ensemble with the Leningrad Cowboys, Ruth Lorenzo ( as seen on on The X Factor ( UK )), Bride, and Seether.

Aiken Promotions invited artists such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Queen, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen to perform during the 1980s.

* War Child Presents Heroes ( 2009 ) – " Atlantic City " ( Bruce Springsteen cover )

" War " was performed in concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 1985, added to the set list for the final few shows of their lengthy Born in the U. S. A. Tour.

Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau were looking for a way to make these concluding shows, taking place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a little different and special, and Landau suggested playing " War ".

The E Street Band and Springsteen regularly helped out on all these projects.

His songs are best-known through cover versions by more commercial artists: " Jersey Girl ", performed by Bruce Springsteen, " Ol ' ' 55 ", performed by the Eagles, and " Downtown Train ", performed by Rod Stewart.

Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh said this was done to " disrupt the ritual expectations of the fanatic fans [...] establishing through a burst of creativity just who was boss [...] he'd liberated the show from an albatross, a song that was too long and had long since stopped breathing.

Bruce Springsteen garnered critical acclaim during much of the decade, finally breaking through in a big way very late in the 70s.

Springsteen writes in his Greatest Hits sleeve notes, he recorded the track in his bedroom, "..... for $ 1, 050 ( the cost of the four-track Tascam recorder ), mixed through an old Gibson guitar unit to a beat box ...."

Landau was then hired by Springsteen, and is cited as co-producer on Springsteen studio records from 1975's Born to Run, through 1992's Human Touch and Lucky Town.

A high point in his many contributions to the human rights cause came in 1988, when he joined a team of other major musicians – including Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen – assembled under the banner of Amnesty International for the six-week Human Rights Now!

After a producer change to Dave Perkins, the next two albums The Wild Frontier ( 1986 ) and Can't Buy a Miracle ( 1988 ) featured a raw rock style similar to Bruce Springsteen.

Springsteen occasionally granted the wish, though, such as during the last show of the above-mentioned tour in 1985 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, or on most of the quick American leg of the 1988 Tunnel of Love Express ( it was dropped before the end, and did not appear on the European leg ), or on the last night of a 15-show stand at the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey on the Reunion Tour in 1999.

Originally called the Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo, the award was first presented to Bruce Springsteen in 1988 for the album Tunnel of Love.
