Hungry Heart went on sale

October 21, 1980
Originally written for the Ramones, but kept for himself, Bruce Springsteen’s single, Hungry Heart was released on this date. It would become Springsteen’s first Top 10 hit as a performer.

When Springsteen met Joey Ramone in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Ramone asked Bruce to write a song for his band, The Ramones. Springsteen wrote Hungry Heart that night but decided to keep it on the advice of his producer and manager, Jon Landau.
