Robert Gordon (often referred to as sounding like Elvis at Sun Records) and Link Wray (Rumble) together were the first to record Bruce Springsteen's "Fire". In 1978 they recorded the album "Fresh Fish Special" featuring background vocals by the Jordanaires and Bruce Springsteen on keyboards. Bruce originally wrote "Fire" for Elvis Prseley.

Bruce Springsteen's studio take came from "The Promise", the concert recording from "Live: 1975 - 85"

In 1979 the Pointer Sisters took their version to the top ten.
