Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife

Kudos to Bryan Adams for surviving his early days as an 18-year-old disco singer. Head over to songwriter Jim Vallance's profile of the song "Let Me Take You Dancin'" for details on the early career of Bryan Adams complete with sound clip and the cover of the 45.

Of course, later came the Bryan Adams we all know. It was that raspy voice that wore out its welcome in sappy songs that eventually caused millions of fingers to spin the radio dial upon hearing the first few notes, but not before Bryan Adams sold millions and millions of records. "Summer of '69" is still one of my guilty pleasures.
