Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light (Single Edit)

British musician Manfred Mann and the progressive rock band named after him did a cover version of the 1973 track written by Bruce Springsteen and it became a huge hit, going to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1977 and also became a #1 song in Canada. In the UK, the song was a Top Ten hit, peaking at #6 on the UK Pop charts. I remember hearing this for the first time during the late 1970s and was instantly mesmerized by those awesome synthesizer arrangements as well as the catchy vocals, and the song itself has remained one of my all-time favorite songs. original version on the album The Roaring Silence written by Bruce Springsteen © copyright 1976 Bronze Records Ltd, Warner Bros Records, Laurel Canyon Music Ltd.
