Bruce Springsteen started his three day run on Fallon last night. He had a great talk with Jimmy, calling out Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and the late Sam Cooke as his inspirations.
We also learned that Bruce’s wife Patti Scialfa will not be called “Grandma” by their first grandchild. And Bruce doesn’t want to be called “The Boss,” he joked.
Bruce had no less than eight backup singers with him. Two of them are quite famous– Vaneese Thomas and Fonzie Thornton. Vaneese is the daughter of legend Rufus Thomas and sister of Stax star Carla Thomas, Fonzie sang with Luther Vandross and Aretha Franklin. They are the creme de la creme.
There’s more tonight!
