Bryan Adams celebrates his 60th birthday today (November 5th). He knew he had a hit as soon as he heard it. The songs was “Run to You” on the album Reckless in 1984. He claims he’s rarely confident about the chart potential of his records but he was sure of this one
“I remember thinking when I heard the track for ‘Run to You’ — ‘cause it was a first take, that recording — and I put it in my car thing and I thought, ‘This sounds really good.’ To this day, I’m probably the proudest of that song, I think, because it was the first single off Reckless and I knew that it was going to get a great response. I had a feeling, because the last thing I had done was ‘Cuts Like a Knife’ and I thought it was in the same vein.”
