5. You Gotta Be Kind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGdmi0tREPQ A Bruce Springsteen reggae song?!? Yes, it happened, although thankfully he opted not to use the steel drums. This simple, positive song was recorded during The River era, but features a very different sound to anything that appears on that album. Bruce went reggae once more in 1987 when he performed Jamaican-sounding versions of Born in the USA and My Hometown with Jah Love during a surprise appearance at the reggae band's gig at the Largo Club in New Jersey. Reports that Springsteen sported dreadlocks remain sadly unverified.
