Though Bruce Springsteen is known for the usually serious, thoughtful songs he writes for himself, "Fire" is an example of his ability to write a popular hit of a less cerebral sort. During his enforced hiatus from studio work in 1976-1977, when he and his ex-manager were busy suing each other, Springsteen began hanging out with neo-rockabilly singer Robert Gordon, who had latched onto the New York new wave scene and scored a contract with RCA Victor. Springsteen had written "Fire" for Elvis Presley and even sent him a demo before Presley died, but now he gave it to Gordon. It had a simple, stop-and-start musical pattern, its lyric telling the story of a couple who were drawn to each other physically even if they were not otherwise compatible. The song was a lot of fun, and it was made to order for Gordon's stylized act. He recorded it for his second album, Fresh Fish Special, which was released in the late winter of 1978. Springsteen did not record the song himself on his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town, but he did play it occasionally during the tour promoting the LP, first performing it live at the tour opener in Buffalo, NY, on May 23, 1978. The song might have remained a minor entry in his repertoire if it hadn't been heard by producer Richard Perry, who was looking for material for his first record with the Pointer Sisters. Their career was in a downturn, and they had been reduced to a trio by the departure of Bonnie Pointer. As part of their first sessions for his Planet Records label, Perry had them record a soul/pop arrangement of "Fire" and he released it as a single in the fall of 1978. The result was a gold-selling hit that just missed topping the charts in early 1979 and re-established the Pointers as a commercial force. (Like Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of "Blinded By the Light" two years earlier, it was a bigger hit than Springsteen himself had ever scored with one of his songs.) In 1986, Springsteen placed a version he had performed on December 16, 1978, on his box set Live 1975-1985, and he released it as the album's second single in early 1987, his version peaking in the upper half of the Top 100. The most striking version of the song in subsequent years was the one sung by Des'ree on her 1998 album, Supernatural.
