The Melodies Of The Time on Instagram: "🎼💫This week in 1980, as The River tour arrived in New York for its iconic New Year’s shows at Nassau Coliseum, Bruce had even more to celebrate. His single “Hungry Heart” had risen to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Written in just one night after a request from Joey Ramone—and released at Jon Landau’s insistence—the song became Bruce’s first true Top 10 hit. It introduced The River to a wider audience and firmly established his pop sensibility."
