I was in college… There were so many artists going from unknown to superstars; Bruce, Madonna, Prince… good lord, everyone, and even the “One Hit Wonders” were set for life financially…. Bruce, in this video, reminds me of the nerdy, innocent boy who came back after summer vacation looking like a stud! You can tell he’s really having the time of his life, dancing, singing, and still unused to the fact this song was gonna change his life forever… the unbridled joy he exudes brings me back to watch this when “I” need to be reminded there were a few moments of joy in my life as well… too bad they were decades ago, yet happy my life encompasses all the raw, true talents, vocalists, and artistry of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s - Icons now, before auto tune and record company greed bombarded us when the internet came around. I guess each generation says the same; life was so much more simple back then, and the music much more pure… 🤷🏻♂️

If you didn't recognize the young lady Bruce pulled from the crowd, it was Courtney Cox, before her long stint on the TV Show "Friends". This was her first public performance, pretty good, as was Mr. Springsteen and The E Street band.

This was the first single of his seven singles of his iconic album ''Born in the USA''. Like ''Thriller'' by Michael Jackson, ''Born in the USA'' produced seven top 10 singles in US. Theses two albums mainting this record for few years until Janet Jackson battled theses two albums, with the ''Rhythm Nation 1814'' produced seven top 5 singles. Also, this year, ''Taylor Swift'' battled all this record (preceded before by theses three albums) when she released her ''Midnight'' album who 10 songs (nine songs was non singles) of the album was in the top 10 in US charts the week of the released of this album, including the first single ''Anti-Hero''.

"Dancing in the Dark" was the lead single from Springsteen's 1984 album Born in the U.S.A. It dropped the summer before my senior year of high school and seven songs on it reached the top ten in the U.S. charts. That album more or less made Springsteen a superstar. I don't remember whether I saw the video for "Dancing in the Dark" first or heard the song on the radio first. But MTV ran the video a lot. Courtney Cox of Friends fame played the girl he dances with. Her freshness helped sell the song although it really sells itself. The synthesizers place the song squarely in the eighties, with the band rocking out to remind viewers of their roots in the seventies. MTV rarely ran Springsteen videos before "Dancing in the Dark". I only remember two of them. One for "Atlantic City" that visually drew on a black and white montage of the actual city without Springsteen in the video. The other footage of "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" from a concert in Phoenix, Arizona in 1978. Springsteen's KZbin channel is well stocked with vintage concert footage, including that concert in Phoenix, Arizona back in 1978 among many others over the decades since. It's easy to spend a lot of time watching those. 😃

Strangely Bruce Springsteen never got a #1 hit on the Billboard chart. His ‘Dancing In The Dark’ shot all the way up to #2 right behind Prince ‘When Doves Cry’ at #1. 1984 was flushed with endless great music, all the songs on the radio were smashing stiff competition. Unlike today’s filth 💩
