Who wrote the song "Fire" which had its highest profile when released as a single by the Pointer Sisters?

"Fire" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen in 1977; it had its highest profile as a 1978 single release by the Pointer Sisters. "Fire" was recorded for the group's November 1978 album release "Energy" with Anita Pointer on lead.

The song "Fire" reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1979; it tied with "Slow Hand" (1981) as the Pointer Sisters' highest-charting single. The Pointer Sisters subsequently noted that "Fire" became a major hit for them and made a total difference in their career as a group.

Bruce Springsteen has said, "I envisioned "Fire" as a song which could be recorded by my idol Elvis Presley. It was written after I saw Presley perform at a May 1977 concert at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." He also said, "I sent Elvis a demo of it but he died before it arrived."
