Bruce Springsteen idolized Buddy Holly, and Gary Busey portrayed him on screen. Together, they paid tribute to the late rocker, covering one of his greatest hits in the summer of ’78. Take a listen inside.

Bruce joins a stellar line-up of guest musicians at a 1994 John Eddie concert to cover Elvis Presley’s last number one hit, “Suspicious Minds.”

One time only: For the first time, Bruce and Jon Bon Jovi join forces for one of Bon Jovi’s own songs–a signature one at that.

It’s a veritable lovefest every time Bruce joins U2 on their iconic anthem, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”

Inspired by the legendary collaborations at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concerts, Ray Davies kicked off his album of revitalized Kinks songs with “Better Things” as a duet with Bruce.

Now here’s a true rarity: Bruce Springsteen backing Patti Smith on piano, gamely trying to keep up with her as she improvs her way through one of her earliest poems.

The backstory is odd, but the performance is terrific: watch Bruce and Wolfgang Niedecken deliver a bilingual cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” in a German cafe in 1995.

The E Street Band may have been on hiatus, but relationships endured. From 1991, here’s Nils and Bruce together again on Nils’ sweet love song, “Valentine.”

One time only: Bruce and The Wallflowers cover Vince Taylor’s 1959 rockabilly classic, “Brand New Cadillac.”
