LYRICS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpq35wyDi7I
" Blinded by the Light " is a song written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen which first appeared on his 1973 debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. A cover by British rock band Manfred Mann's Earth Band reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1977 and was also a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band released a version of the song on their 1976 album The Roaring Silence . Their version includes the " Chopsticks " melody played on piano near the end of the bridge of the song. The track reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian RPM charts. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of "Blinded by the Light" is Springsteen's only No. 1 single, as a songwriter, on the Hot 100; his highest-charting single as a solo performer was " Dancing in the Dark " in 1984, which reached No. 2 on the Hot 100, and his only No. 1 was as part of the USA for Africa ensemble that recorded " We Are the World ."
Record World said that "After a synthesized intro reminiscent of "Won't Get Fooled Again ," the group is in full throttle.” - source
