Bruce Springsteen's new "Workin' On a Dream" will make its official debut this Sunday night on NBC during the broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys/Washington Redskins football game. The song, which debuted in acoustic form when Bruce was on the road stumping for Barack Obama, will reportedly feature on Springsteen's follow-up to 2007's Magic. The new album is expected out January 2009. The "Workin'" that will appear on NBC is the finished studio version and will be used to soundtrack "a video of NFL highlights" from Sunday's action, so it's probably best to catch the pre-show and halftime coverage to ensure a listen. Of course, the "Workin'" debut begins a partnership with Bruce and the NFL that will culminate on February 1st when Springsteen and his E Street Band headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
