Nightshift - Bruce Springsteen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Singer-songwriter and New Jersey legend Bruce Springsteen is still making surprising career choices in a career that now encompasses six decades. After his successful run on Broadway, his next project is Only the Strong Survive, his twenty-first studio album. And what’s interesting about this one is that it’s made up of covers of classic R&B and soul songs. One of the songs featured on the album, and the one released as the album’s second promotional single, is “Nightshift.” Originally written by Walter Orange, Dennis Lambert, and Franne Golde, “Nightshift” was first recorded by the Commodores in 1985, becoming the group’s first hit single after the departure of Lionel Richie. Steeped in the language of soul music and including references to the work of Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, “Nightshift” is a celebration of the power of music, and Bruce Springsteen’s version keeps that sentiment intact.
