"Pink Cadillac" is a song by Bruce Springsteen released as the non-album B-side of "Dancing in the Dark" in 1984. The song received much airplay worldwide and appeared on the Billboard Top Tracks chart for 14 weeks, peaking at No. 27.[1] The song was also a prominent concert number during Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. Tour.

Bette Midler loved the song and recorded it for her 1983 No Frills album. But after it had been recorded, Springsteen legally stopped the release. "Pink Cadillac" had its highest-profile incarnation via an R&B interpretation by Natalie Cole, which became a top-ten single in 1988. [2]
