The first Sprinsteen recordings were very wordy, and it is a technique that he has returned to, although notably as he gets older he does take a breath in between . "Blinded By the Light", is another superb early example of how many words the man could fit into a commercial work, I seem to remember that on the UK hit version, by Manfred Mann, many of the words were omitted.
A great writer, and allways writes songs that are correct to sing for a man of his age. |

I agree - realy excellent version. A lot better than BS's original, in fact.
Not all that crazy about it as a composition, though - far too wordy (and I'm a Dylan fan). |

It's actually the Alvin Stardust track I produced for Magnet in the '70's.
I think it's a good song well sung. |
