or running from the cops because Racers would indeed run from it, and not always a 32 but any Ford Coupe that was Modified, but the 1932 was the style they went for

In 2005, Springsteen himself commented on this amusing mistake. “Deuce was like a Little Deuce Coupe, as in a 2-seater Hot Rod.

I love Blinded By The Light. One of my favorite songs ever. They showed how you're supposed to do a cover, not a simple recreation of the original but how to make it your own. Also Manfred Mann and the various incarnations of his band are so interesting. They changed from a 60s pop group to a weird jazz fusion thing with Chapter III to prog and back to pop again with the Earth Band.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN while a brilliant composer, competent musician and good singer ..... however he had the gall, arrogance and ingratitude to receive a NUMBER ONE HIT for his COMPOSITION of this song ..... yet did not like the interpretation and pace of the Manfred Mann band version !?!? My God what nerve. IT IS FAR BETTER THAN HIS SLOWER, LESS IMPACTFUL tune lacking punch and dynamic delivery ! Never understood Springsteen's cheeky slight of the song. Sales of the two prove him wrong. Love this tune BY MANFRED MANN !!!

try reality, Bruce was a Nobody and Manfred Mann were already famous AND they made him because when record companies saw Bruce as a Songwriter gave him a chance and 2 YEARS LATER he became famous by the Push of Blinded by the Light, that is exactly why, because he knows he was made on their coat sleeves

I didn't downvote your comment because I'm not that petty. But Springsteen wrote the song. Is he not, at the very least, entitled to his opinion of the cover, whether, or not, it served him financially? Love your passion for Manfred Mann. How long have you been the Manfred Mann Fan Club leader?

@deathsee24 күн бұрын
yes they were indeed big for thier times with both those songs and Blinded by the light, which thanks to them, 2 years later, Bruce was taken more serious as a song writer and promoted bigtime

Manfred Man in his reincarnations is a very fascinating band. First as a typical 60's group, then a progband through 70s. Messin is one of my favorites.

Count me as a new subscriber Doc. I really enjoyed the content. The lighting is great, the background is subtle, and your voice is like honey coming through the mic. If it wouldn't offend I only have one recommendation ... when you do the lyrics try to more speak rather than sing them. You're getting caught in between and it comes across a little awkward. That's it. I already have my eye on several of your past videos that I want to share with my wife. She's a huge Prince fan. I very much look forward to future videos. Love what you're doing. And thank you again.

Thank you! I’ve been unofficially asked to ditch the singing by others outside of comments, so in later vids, it’s been replaced by (gasp!) the artist’s own voice. Thanks for the comment and your sub.

I DISAGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE TWO VERSIONS. I THINK YOU NEED TO SACRIFICE THE MONOLOGUE AND CONCLUSIONS UNTIL AFTER THE SONG IS PLAYED BY THE ARTIST ...... this would give us the entertainment value of that mentioned and lyrical elements discoveries in ADDITION to the music ...... can't see how that is not evident !?

yes, because he could not make it with his version and they did with his, and he got to ride their coat tails because he was promoted more because of it and became famous by being the writer of Blinded by the light, 2 years later, try the truth, not because they changed very few lyrics, because he didn't make it on his version
