Bruce Springsteen’s “We Take Care Of Our Own” merely “bubbled under” the Hot 100, peaking at #106. But the spirited and socially aware song gained wide exposure as President Obama’s campaign song. Springsteen introduced the song on last year’s Grammys. Springsteen is slated to receive the Person of the Year award from MusiCares (the Grammys’ official philanthropy) two days before the awards. The Boss has received three Record of the Year nominations through the years, for “Dancing In The Dark,” “Born In The U.S.A.” and “Streets Of Philadelphia.”
(Eric Church’s country hit “Springsteen” is also in the mix, though it’s hard to see that being nominated when the real thing is available.)
