Rick Springfield's music has stood the test of time with some of the best-crafted, mainstream power pop ever recorded. A singer turned soap-opera star turned singer, Springfield garnered his first US success with a re-recording of his Australian hit, "Speak to the Sky,"; the song reached number 14 in the US. In the meantime, Springfield had begun taking acting classes and was soon signed to play the young, eligible Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital in 1981. Springfield's popularity skyrocketed, setting the stage for the release of Working Class Dog later that year. Powered by classic single "Jessie's Girl," which hit the top of the charts, and follow-up "I've Done Everything for You," Working Class Dog was a smash success, and Springfield eventually returned to his first love of music when concerts conflicted with his television career. The follow-up, Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet, was released in 1982, spawning the Top Ten smash "Don't Talk to Strangers"; 1983's Living in Oz offered more of the same, including the Top Ten "Affair of the Heart.” Springfield made the leap to the big screen in 1984 with Hard to Hold, which was successful and spawned "Love Somebody." More recently, he released Rocket Science in 2016. Rick Springfield continues to record, land television roles and tour to the delight of his loyal fans.
