Did you know... that Hungry Heart was Bruce Springsteen's first big Billboard song, reaching #5 in late 1980, and later voted best single of the year in a Billboard readers' poll? Listening to it, I always wondered why his voice sounded so different from others on The River. The answer is simple; they sped up the vocal track.
What's more interesting is Springsteen met Joey Ramone at Asbury Park and was asked to write a song for the Ramones. That night he composed Hungry Heart. Following the success of songs written for Patti Smith (Because the Night) and the Pointer Sisters ( Fire, originally intended for Elvis), Bruce's manager, Jon Landau, advised him to keep the song.
