"Fire" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and originally intended for use by Elvis Presley. It was recorded first by Robert Gordon during 1978, and he received some modest album-oriented rock radio broadcasting with it. It was then recorded and released by The Pointer Sisters later during 1978, and they gained a major success from it, scoring a number two hit during early-February 1979 on the U.S. pop chart.[1], and also peaking at number fifteen on the soul chart [2].
Although he performed the song live from his 1978 tour onwards, Springsteen himself did not release his own recording of the song until his 1986 Live/1975-85 album, which contains his (heavily edited, to eliminate on-stage hijinks) December 16, 1978 performance. This version was released as a single (which contained the only "official" live version of "Incident on 57th Street", until its appearance on Live in Barcelona, as B-side), but did not succeed, scoring only number 46 on the U.S. pop chart. A music video for the song was released at the time, but confusingly showed a completely unrelated 1986 acoustic performance at a Bridge School Benefit concert.
