Does anyone remember the Gary U.S. Bonds comeback in the 80's?

In 1980, Bruce Springsteen met Gary U.S. Bonds and asked him if he ever thought about making a comeback. Springsteen wrote him some songs, and the result was two hit albums in 1981 and 1982 with Dedication and On the Line

From his first album Dedication in 1981 came the near U.S. top 10 hit This Little Girl which became his first hit since 1962's Copy Cat. The minor hit Jole Blon followed that same year in 1981, and from his second album On the Line in 1982, came his last U.S. hit of the 80's with Out of Work, which just missed the U.S. top 20

"Out of work" is a great song. I bought the CD at a used store.
