After releasing THE RIVER in 1980,Bruce scores another big hit with BORN IN THE USA four years later. This album spawned a lot of hits but not all of them went to 1995's GREATEST HITS. Seven of the twelve tracks(the title track,I'M ON FIRE,COVER ME,I'M GOIN' DOWN,DANCING IN THE DARK,GLORY DAYS and MY HOMETOWN),made it to the Top 20. Bruce had not yet married his first wife actress Julianne Phillips when this album was recorded. Around this time,he met Patti Scialfa,the E Street Band's background vocalist who'd later become his second wife. Beautiful auburn-haired Patti appears in the video for GLORY DAYS. Bruce and the E Street Band perform the song in a nightclub. In the video for DANCING IN THE DARK,Bruce and his band perform the song in concert and invites audience member,not-yet famous actress Courteney Cox with short black hair on the stage and dance. This album was still on the charts when 1985 neared the end. Then,MY HOMETOWN became a hit. This album was a bigger seller than THE RIVER.
