Bryan Adams: Cuts Like a Knife (1983)

"Cuts Like a Knife" helped break Bryan Adams into the mainstream. It was one of the summer soundtrack songs of 1983. It reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #12 in Adams' native Canada. The Canadian remained a force in music for the next decade and continues to record.

Bryan Adams: In the Heat of the Night (1987)


The song was inspired by an Orson Welles film and a trip Adams took to Berlin in 1986. The Third Man is a noir classic remembered for its atmosphere and music.  The story revolves around a suspicious death. Meanwhile, Adams Berlin trip took place before the wall came down and “In the Heat of the Night” reflects the dark atmosphere of postwar East Berlin.

Bryan Adams: Can't Stop This Thing We Started (1991)

"Can't Stop..." is an example of Bryan Adams work before turning adult contemporary. The song peaked at #2 on the charts following the success of his ballad "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You." Although a huge monster hit, Adams shifted to ballads and away from his garage rock sound.
