1982: STEVEN VAN ZANDT on The Old Grey Whistle Test | Classic Celebrity Interview | BBC Archive

Stevie Van Zandt is a man of many bandanas - a guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band since 1975, acting roles such as The Sopranos' Silvio Dante, charitable endeavours and making music with his own band - Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul.
He invited TOGWT's David Hepworth over to New York to spend a day and the early hours of the morning profiling the charismatic frontman ahead of the release of their debut album Men Without Women.

Oh good grief that’s David Hepworth!! He looks deeply uncomfortable 😂 And SVZ is the real thing. It’s so weird cos it looks like he’s play acting, but nope. That’s pure NJ.
