"Fire" was written by Bruce Springsteen in 1977 specifically for Elvis Presley. He had even sent Elvis a demo, but The King died soon after. Bruce's friend Robert Gordon would record it first - but it got little radio play and it didn’t chart. It would become The Pointer Sisters first Top 10 hit - stalling at #2 in early 1979.
Bruce’s original demo with the E Street Band was finally released on his 2010 album, The Promise.
