Born to Run is the title track of the 1975 album of the same name, the album that saved Bruce Springsteen's career after two albums that nearly drove him into limbo. The recording was hell: it took more than six months at 914 Sound Studios. Bruce was so obsessed that he rewrote the lyrics in the studio and told the band to record again. Clarence Clemons iconic saxophone was built with patience: Bruce spent hours singing the solo note by note for Big Man, adjusting every detail until it was perfect. Released as a single, it reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100, but the album was so successful that Bruce appeared simultaneously on the covers of Time and Newsweek in October 1975, an unprecedented feat for the time.
