About Bobby Jean

"Bobby Jean" is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen, from his 1984 album Born in the U.S.A.. "Bobby Jean" was one of the last songs from the album to be recorded, and was considered a musical breakthrough for Springsteen during the recording, with its more accented rhythm and near dance groove. The title character's name is somewhat gender ambiguous, allowing for various interpretations. Nonetheless, "Bobby Jean" is often considered to have been written about his long-time friendship with Steve Van Zandt .
