The oldest known existing recording is by Appalachian artists Clarence "Tom" Ashley (with Gwen Foster) who recorded it for Vocalion Records in 1934.[3] Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather, Enoch Ashley

Most people I know, do not know that "Blinded by the Light" is a Springsteen song. They think it's a Manfred Mann original.

that's actually pretty interesting, we could probably learn a lot from old scot/irish immigrant ballads

Another song originally by Springsteen "Atlantic City" was covered and released by The Band, and IMO they did a better job with the cover. Didn't realize it was a Springsteen song though. Dude could write one hell of a song.

Once in a blue moon I'll hear the Springsteen version, but yeah, it's only till you listen to the words and think about his writing style that you say.

that's sounds just like Bruces writing

Springsteen penned a few hits which weren't made popular by him.


Robert Gordon
Patti Smith


Prince wrote alot for others too (but did get paid, both as a producer and owner of the songs)

The Time
Sheila E.

I didn't know that Willie Nelson wrote "Crazy" and was not a Patsy Cline original.

Ozzy Osbourne's - Crazy Train was actually copied from Trick Daddy's - Let's Go, just with slight lyric changes
