The Boss hits No. 1 with 'Born in the USA'

Thirty years ago Monday, Bruce Springsteen hit No. 1 in the U.S. with the song "Born in the USA." His album of the same name is one of only three in history to produce seven top-10 U.S. singles.

The Boss kicked off his "Born in the USA" tour in downtown St. Paul at the old St. Paul Civic Center at the end of June in 1984.
