Bruce Springsteen Biography: His childhood idol was Elvis. His sister's boyfriend was in a band which gave Bruce the connections he needed to get started in the business. He led a number of groups including Steel Mill, Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom before he formed the Bruce Springsteen Band and set out on an unsuccessful tour of California. Many of the musicians he met during this period would become the backbone of the E Street Band. His style can be summed up as Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Clarence "Frogman" Henry rolled into one. He signed a management deal with songwriter/producer Mike Appel who got him an audition with legendary Columbia Records head John Hammond. Hammond signed Springsteen, but did not care much for Appel. |
