Bruce Springsteen is a popular American singer, prolific songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist. He became widely recognized for his unique and creative songwriting ability, which captured the attention of fans and music professionals alike. Most of his songs reflect his political opinions and his working-class roots in New Jersey, where he grew up. He is a positive thinker who sees greatness in the labors of daily American life and draws inspiration from the stories of ordinary people. Although he is not deeply religious, he acknowledges that his Catholic upbringing has significantly influenced his musical career. Springsteen is considered one of America's most admired and influential musicians. His greatest commercial success, Born in the U.S.A., remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Another of his landmark works, Born to Run, is widely regarded as one of the best rock and roll albums and among Springsteen's finest achievements. The title track of Born in the U.S.A., not Born to Run, offers a critical analysis of the unfair treatment of Vietnam War veterans, some of whom were Springsteen's friends. His songs Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run have helped solidify his status as a rock icon.
