Vivienne “Patti” Scialfa (“Skal-fa”) (born July 29, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for being a bandmate, and later wife, of rock star Bruce Springsteen.
While still in university she was submitting original material for other artists to record; however, none of her songs were recorded and she worked as a busker and waitress in Greenwich Village after graduating. Together with Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell, she formed a street group known as Trickster. She struggled to make her way in the songwriting and recording industry in New York and New Jersey for many years before playing at Kenny’s Castaway in Greenwich Village, as well as Asbury Park’s The Stone Pony, which got her notice and eventually recording work with Southside Johnny and David Johansen. Rumbledoll (1993) was her first record .
In 1984, she joined the E Street Band three or four days before the opening show of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour, either because Springsteen wanted to expand the emotional range of the band (Marsh, Glory Days) or because Nils Lofgren contracted mononucleosis, which made it impossible for him to sing his backing vocals (Scialfa, [1]). In 1986, she appeared on the Rolling Stones’ Dirty Work album, leaving her unique vocal mark on “One Hit (To the Body)” as well as other tracks. She worked with Keith Richards on his first solo disc Talk is Cheap. Steve Jordan, who co-produced the Richards’ record, was a friend of Scialfa’s from her Greenwich Village days.

A great man is nothing with a great woman in the back. Patti is adorable. Hey take alook at my own new single "The lone riders". Just type in my name Frankie Zsa Zsa Schmidt. Would be nice to hear from you!

Who the fuck is Bruce Springsteen? His wife has much more talent like himself. Is it posible that he learns from her;how to compose music,because her musical spectrum is more varios like his.

Absolutely love the new album. It's like she takes everyday life and writes poetry about it. Nice to hear something that isn't all bubblegum pop but isn't angsty tragedy either.
