Bryan Adams, a renowned Canadian singer-songwriter, has had a remarkable career filled with collaborations and hits. However, one particular story highlights a close call where he almost gave away one of his biggest songs. Adams, known for his songwriting prowess, has penned hits for artists like Kiss, Joe Cocker, and many others. But the story of 'Run to You' showcases a unique instance of almost letting go of a potential blockbuster. Adams and his collaborator, Jim Vallance, wrote the song for Blue Oyster Cult, but it never materialized. Interestingly, 38 Special also had a chance to record the song, though they ultimately didn't take it. Adams' guitarist, Keith Scott, was relieved that Blue Oyster Cult didn't end up with the song, as he was concerned about giving it away. Adams' songwriting talent is evident in his work with various artists, including Joe Cocker's 'When the Night Comes,' which became a Top 40 hit. He also contributed to Roger Daltrey's solo album, 'Under a Raging Moon,' with the song 'Let Me Down Easy.' Adams' recent album, 'Roll With the Punches,' showcases his newfound freedom as an independent artist, and he's gearing up for a tour with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. His ability to connect with iconic singers and his consistent output of new music have solidified his place in the music industry.
