What Songs Did Bruce Write For Other Artists?
My favorite story is below. One song that Bruce wrote and sometimes sings in concert, DID NOT do as well on the charts, for HIM, as it did for another band that covered it! In one TV interview, he shares that the band even changed a word in HIS song, which could have made the difference on why the song did better for them!
In concert, Bruce also LOVES doing cover songs. Here’s a setlist from a recent show. You’ll notice his version of the Commodores hit Nightshift off his new album Only The Strong Survive.
