Dancing In The Dark was the first of seven singles releases from Bruce Springsteen's best-selling album of the 80's (and his career!) Born In The U.S.A., and the song was written and co-produced by Springsteen. It reached #2 in the U.S. and #4 in the UK in 1984. Other tracks released from the album were Cover Me, Born In The U.S.A., I'm On Fire, Glory Days, I'm Goin' Down and My Hometown. The album reached an incredible Diamond (15 x Platinum) sales in the U.S., Canada and Australia and 3 x Platinum in the UK.
Born in New Jersey, "The Boss" achieved his first hit single in 1975 with Born To Run which reached #23 in the U.S., although it didn't break the Top 40 in the UK. Born To Run was also covered (brilliantly) by Frankie Goes To Hollywood on their Welcome To The Pleasuredome album.
