Love Rick Springfield. Don't Talk To Strangers.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

Don't Talk to Strangers is sneakily great

[@marcathens2951]

Yessss !!!!!

[@nancysmith8626]

@@gigi-ij1hk Yep! It sneaks up on you and becomes your favorite RS song before you even know what happened.

He was the original dreamy doctor [in General Hospital], but we all knew he was all about his music...and it was worth it.

[@angiem107]

"Honeymoon in Beirut" Fantastic!!!! ❤❤❤

[@dawndeleon3765]

Ooohh that's a really good one. I love the dynamics on that one. I love the title track, too, Rock of Life. That's just a really great album.

[@stevenwinans3489]

Why is Rick NOT in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?? He DESERVES it, & meets the criteria..... EVERYONE in the World knows Jessies Girl some 43 years later.... Come on.....

[@chrisoakley5830]

I think so to, Rick is great.

Toto, Kansas, Boston also NOT but Dolly Parton is. WTH

@@RocketRic14 For some reason Dolly Parton made it, even after she asked not to be nominated and wanted to turn it down

Just saw Rick last night and he completely rocked it. Awesome show. Hard to believe he'll be 75 next month.

You want rockin' Rick? Written in Rock, Celebrate Youth, Human Touch

[@sunnybearbuds]

Yes! I love Human Touch!!!!!

[@dawndeleon8009]

Living in Oz, rock of life is one of my faves.

[@scottarooni]

Another good rockin' Rick Springfield song is called "Love Somebody."

[@joelefebvre740]

They reacted to that already

[@sunnybearbuds]

I loooooove that one.

[@dawndeleon3765]

I STRONGLY suggest My Father's Chair from his 1985 album Tao. It wasn't a single release, but it's really his magnum opus. He gets a standing ovation whenever he plays it live. But keep tissues close by. For rockers, Rock of LIfe, Living in Oz, Venus in Overdrive.

[@sunnybearbuds]

You cannot go wrong with Rick. Love Somebody.

[@feudist]

Only in the 80s do you find absolutely blistering guitar solos in a love song.

[@DV80s]

Now THIS is a Rick Springfield song. Many people talk about Jessi's Girl when they think Rick Springfield, but Rick is so much more than just Jessi's Girl. I loved hearing this song on the radio and I had it on cassette and I would play it in the dark and watch the led lights move with the beat on my boombox.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

This is as 80's as the 80's will allow. So loved this song.

[@jerredcreasy3351]

Ooooh. That's one of my faves. Too.

[@stevebrien1041]

Cant go wrong with Rick Springfield

[@matthewvade6553]

Rick's still recording new music and touring. For his 2010's era, I'd say the song "Our Ship's Sinking" is definitely worth checking out. He was 63 years old when that came out and still sounded great. Looked fit too. I don't know what his workout routines are, but was very impressive for his age.

[@maribethwhiting7114]

That's one of my favorite songs of his!!!

[@jsgakachs9507]

"Celebrate Youth", a powerful great rock song of Rick with an artistic video

[@juliewhite7469]

"Bop til You Drop" catchy with the most 80's elaborate video ❤😊

[@DV80s]

Rick Springfield also came out in one or two episodes of the '70s/'80s TV series The Incredible Hulk. He played some type of martial arts figure. Apparently, he was in a lot of TV shows in those earlier days. I do recall he was on General Hospital the day-time soap opera.

[@stacey021375]

My favorite Rick Springfield song! I saw him live a couple of years ago. He’s still rocking in his 70’s!

[@paulajean16]

I know you all love the saxophone, "don't walk away" is one of my favorites of Rick's. Rick and saxophone what more could you ask for....

[@Treverlorn]

"Bop Till You Drop" is a good Rick Springfield song, with an interesting sci-fi themed video.

[@yaimavol]

They will love the harmonica solo in that

[@juliewhite7469]

Great suggestion 🥰

[@agneskurzaj]

There was The double Rick effect back then. Young woman going crazy for Rick Astley and Rick Springfield. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

Love Somebody is a great song by him.

[@hellonheels91069]

He was my childhood heartthrob. I saw him in concert during his Hard to Hold concert. LOVE THE MAN!!

[@deantitus9734]

Hey guys, more Rick Springfield songs that you should react to include Don't Talk To Strangers, I've Done Everything For You, Love Is Alright Tonight and Bop 'Til You Drop!!

[@Robsan40]

"I've Done Everything For You" and "Human Touch" are my favorites of his.

[@juliewhite7469]

"What Kind of Fool Am I " and "State of the Heart" too. "Human Touch" and "Bop Til You Drop" favorite videos 🥰🥰🥰

[@kazz3956]

The full package, great singer, guitarist and easy on the eyes.

[@kazz3956]

Another suggestion would be with his former band, Zoot, where he was a guitarist and sang back up vocals. They did a couple of covers, one of Eleanor Rigby, and Life in a Northern Town. It was a while ago so would be in black and white.

[@acornsucks2111]

for your gender

[@scottepps6500]

I was a teenager in the 80s. Cruising town listening to Rick. Brought back good memories. Thank you.

[@loristone9242]

Same! Right up Galloway Avenue in my town. Also Loverboy and Foreigner and Mötley Crüe blasting in my cousin's Firebird with the T tops open. Good times.

[@pkmadsen2850]

I was SOOOO in crush with Rick Springfield when I was in high school (early 80s). He was on General Hospital every day and of course the videos. (oh my heart) My best friend and I would exchange R.S. song lines to each other. I had every single one of his albums (even his old ones). :) He also made a movie Hard to Hold (not that great). Fun facts: he was in the original Battlestar Galactica premiere and played Ned Nickerson in a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew episode (1977/1978).

[@juliewhite7469]

Same here ❤😊❤

[@shawnkildal3151]

17 top 40 hits. This guy practically ruled the first half of the '80s.

[@Shellgrit]

Rick Springfield is an Australian singer who began his career in Australia in the 70's with a band called "Zoot". He is also an actor and was in the soap "General Hospital" for years. His other big hits are "Human Touch", "Alyson" "Don't talk to Strangers", "Rock or Life" and "Celebrate Youth" ❤

[@bradparnell614]

Zoot was late 60s. His first solo album in America came out in 1972.

[@netrioter]

He also died in the first 5 minutes of the Battlestar Galactica movie pilot..smoked by the Cylons. It was hilarious

The best Rick Springfield tune IMHO!

[@anthonybohannon1605]

Bruce Springsteen official video "Human touch". RIck Springfield "Human touch"

[@DV80s]

Don't talk to Strangers, another great song by Rick Springfield. Human Touch. I like a lot of the songs in his Hard to Hold album because I owned the cassette when it first came out, bought it with my own money and a boombox and I was only 13 years old at the time. I would listen to Rick, The Police, David Bowie, the list is long. You've listened to Love Somebody, which is from the album Hard to Hold and also the movie Hard to Hold. There's a few other songs on there worth listening to like Don't Walk Away... I love the start of that song. The Great Lost art of Communication I believe was the title of another song I liked, Taxi Dancing, Bop til you drop.

[@juliewhite7469]

Great suggestions ❤

[@pagemeredith4532]

I haven't heard that song in long, long time. Thanks for reminding me how great this song is. ❤

[@juliehoffman4568]

I saw him in concert in 1983 and he opened with this song. It was incredible and you can imagine the screaming & excitement. Love him 😍

[@MP-od1zz]

Most people in the comments will mention a ton of 80’s songs in his library which I will agree with, but he does have some recent songs that are worth a listen, “Our Ships Sinking”, “I Hate Myself” and “Exit Wounds”, are some of my more recent favorites

[@yaimavol]

He's still out there touring in his 70's now

[@glennlissner350]

Human Touch is a rocker. Don't Walk Away is slower, but really underrated.

[@robertmichaeljones]

He had so many hits in a short period of time really!

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Probably my most listened vinyl... "Living in Oz"!! Totally amazing! 😍And I am now 55 years old.. Thanks guys! He has so many great songs!!

[@stevendickinson4484]

This was a song along with love somebody that was in the movie hard to hold which was a cheesy but fun movie that was a vehicle to promote Rick Springfield

[@Wayne-m6f]

Celebrate Youth should be your next Springfield song. Awesome sound and deep meaning. Rock song. If you want something softer and thought provoking try My Father’s Chair. Rock of Life is another rocker!

[@loristone9242]

Great suggestions. Amber would love My Father's Chair.

[@dangrissom7367]

Rick had a good guitarist with him too. Tim Pierce played guitar on Michael Jackson's "Black or White" and on 1984's "Runaway" from Bon Jovi.

[@ndlouder]

There was not a girl in the world that wouldn't go crazy for Rick back in the 80's."Souls" is a great one from this album. The lead guitar is played by Tim Pierce who is a legendary session musician and has played on everything from Bon Jovi's first hit single to the Goo Goo Dolls masterpiece "Iris".

[@xtrmfc]

Souls is Badass !!! 🤘🏼🎸

[@woodch]

I feel like this is a love song written to a guitar, especially the second verse.

[@nancysmith8626]

If you've only done two Rick Springfield songs, you have a loooong way to go to get through his 80s catalog. Hit after hit, especially in the early 80s. There was a time he pretty much dominated radio, in fact. Maybe do "Human Touch" next, that one is a banger and the lyrics were eerily predictive of current times. I think Rick is far more versatile and talented than he gets credit for these days. But, we all loved him then and still do!

[@TigerRogers0660]

Another Aussie artist !! He was a great songwriter & guitar player in the Adelaide band "Zoot". A very talented man with a long career !!

[@loristone9242]

This is from one of his best albums! I got to see him in concert on this tour and Corey Hart was the opener. We were right on the front row and it was one of the best concert experiences of my teen years. Rick Springfield knelt down and squeezed my hand as he was leaving the stage at the end of the show and I thought I would never wash it again 🤣😍 This was a great reaction.

Hi Rob Squad Fam. Rick also covered a Sammy Hagar for track “I’ve Done Everything For You”. Seeing that you like both, maybe a comparison is in order?

Both good, but prefer Sammy's.

@@yelnek4548 it took me a while to even hear about Sammy as I was from a small Central West Town that was C&W heavy. Heard Ricks version 1st. I was Young and it took a little longer to appreciate Sammy’s. And it’s his Original that gets played
