In 1975, Steven Tyler's Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen came together at the Record Plant in New York City to create their monumental albums, "Toys in the Attic" and "Born to Run". Producer Jack Douglas described how the two bands occupied adjacent studios, often motivating one another's creative process. Columbia Records executive Bruce Lundvall acknowledged the collaborative energy and predicted success for both artists, which indeed came to fruition with their albums solidifying their status in rock history soon after.
"We were locked into Studio A, and Bruce Springsteen was in the studio next to us, Studio B," producer Jack Douglas recalled from that iconic time.
"Frequently we'd get a call from Jimmy: 'Come on over and listen to what we're doing over here,' said Douglas, showcasing the collaborative spirit.
"Bruce played him some stuff, and then he came over and Aerosmith played him some stuff," said Douglas, highlighting mutual respect between the artists.
"It was his first big project. He would ask advice about 'What should I do with this? What should I do with that?'" Douglas shared, showcasing the learning atmosphere.
