FIRST TIME HEARING Rick Springfield - I've Done Everything For You REACTION

[@barryserpa5174]

Don’t talk to Strangers and Human Touch are great hits by Rick Springfield

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Those would be great reactions, he had a song back in the early 70’s a Christian rock song Speak to the Sky

[@you2449]

Yeah, those two songs are decent. But TBH, as much as I love Rick, there's really not much there, after the iconic Jessie's Girl.

[@mariflame1821]

@@you2449 Affair of the Heart, Love Somebody, State of the Heart?

[@loradavis7040]

Yes, Don't Talk To Strangers.

[@markhlst]

Human Touch is my favorite

[@Cadinho93]

You guys should react to more Rick Springfield… "Love Is Alright Tonight", "Don't Talk to Strangers", "What Kind of Fool Am I?", "Affair of the Heart", "Human Touch", "Souls", "Love Somebody", "Bop 'Til You Drop", "State of the Heart", "Rock of Life" 🎸🤘

YES TO ALL OF THESE!

[@mariflame1821]

Yes, looove Rick! I have seen him live several times and he's great!

[@btgiv6009]

"Affair of the Heart" and "Rock of Life" are bangers, for sure. "Don't Talk to Strangers" is fun.

[@mikeharris3733]

Celebrate Youth

[@SBQDawn]

all from his movie Hard To Hold !!!!

[@ThomasRaymond47]

This song from 1981 is a cover of a Sammy Hagar song from a year or two earlier. Rick Springfield got his big break while appearing on the Soap Opera "General Hospital" I heard the story right from Sammy Hagar on his radio show. I've had the pleasure to have met both artists, and I can honestly say that they are both wonderful people.

[@glennplanck2319]

I had no idea this was a Sammy Hagar song, but now that you've said it, it seems obvious - it sounds like a Sammy Hagar song.

[@boomstickman71]

Came here to say this. I normally like originals better than covers, and I love Sammy Hagar (I've seen them both in concert), but I like Rick's version better. Sammy gets points for writing it though.

[@edwardforster8905]

Yep ... Sammy wrote it in late 1977, and recorded it in early Spring 1978 - 3 years before Rick's version. They are great friends and have partnered up on Sammy's Rum Company!! Sammy jokes with Rick about this song ... Sammy says he could never do much with this song and Rick touched it and made a HUGE hit with it ... as he laughs and says how happy he was for Rick!! Sammy is CLASS ... and so is Rick! @RobSquadReactions

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I never knew that! Thanks!

[@jenbyrne1683]

Dr Noah Drake!!! My mom and i watched general hospital and loved him

The 80's wasn't all about synth. They had their own rock style as well. Rick's music sounds 100% 80's. Great stuff!

[@darkpsychic]

Totally, the 80s was melting pot of every genre of music

[@Buttercup-vw2zo]

Even if it WAS Synth..so much better that todays GARBAGE

Guys the song you must react to by Rick Springfield is don’t talk to strangers absolute banger.

[@melmingin8445]

Agree

[@dawnpatrol700]

Yeah, I always thought Strangers shoulda been the huge hit, not Jessie

[@stephentaylor6617]

[@melmingin8445]

@@dawnpatrol700 Jessie was #1 in 1981 and Don't Talk To Strangers was #2 in 1982. I would say they were comparable hits and the Album that Don't Talk came from "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet" went to #2 on the Album chart and Jessie was from "Working Class Dog" ,which only went to #7. Rick is just known for Jessie because it was his first major hit and it won him a Grammy!

Rick Sprinfield was some kind of AWESOME in Supernatural!! Who else saw those episodes? He's come a long way from General Hospital...LOL

He was great as Lucifer! I wish he'd stuck around a bit longer...

[@jennytaylor4968]

Those 3 episodes were great , watched Rock never dies more than once lol 🤘🏻

[@Shrykespeare]

Been so long since I've heard this, I had to look up when this came out - turns out this was his follow-up single to Jessie's Girl, off the same album, "Working Class Dog". Dude had the swagger, that's for sure. "Celebrate Youth" is my favorite of his, but I also love "Don't Talk to Strangers" as well as "Bop 'Til You Drop". And also - check out Coheed & Cambria's "Jessie's Girl 2", a sequel to the original that came out last year... and it features a cameo by Rick himself, and at 71 years old looks better than most men half his age. To answer your question, yes, this is an 80s song, but he began his career as a recording artist in 1971 (his first single was called "Speak to the Sky"), but it wasn't until "Jessie's Girl" that his music career really took off. His sound was kind of a holdover from the 70s, more guitar-heavy and without synths like many others of that era (like Bryan Adams and John Mellencamp).

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

Celebrate Youth is also one of my favorites of his but there are also so many others.

[@juliewhite7469]

"Speak to the Sky" definitely had a Patridge Family vibe.

[@BBBoy990]

The 80's was a decade where there were so many electic genre's of music. Not just synthe but, rock, R & B, blues, punk, new wave, metal. There was a type of music 🎶 for everyone and anyone, especially early 80's. Such fun time.

[@Buttercup-vw2zo]

I was a teenager in the 80s. Sure miss it. The generation of today is so dumbed down its cringey

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Love Somebody, Love is Alright Tonite, Human Touch, Don't Talk to Strangers, Jessie's Girl. All very good Rick Springfield songs!

[@debbiealvey3537]

I’ve loved Rick Springfield since his days on General Hospital!!!!

[@NOLAgenX]

My wife and a friend of hers got to meet him after a show 5 years ago. He ended up taking them with his manager to a Hibachi place. She said he was a down to Earth normal guy, and not afraid to engage in regular conversation. Recommend “What Kind of Fool Am I” and “Celebrate Youth”. Celebrate is very synth oriented, but has some very good lyrics.

[@randytorres8211]

This song was written by Sammy Hagar. Rick's 1981 cover reached number 8 in the Billboard top 100.

Rick aint on the big screen anymore and Sammy is still doing his thing. enjoy that Ricky version. I stopped it midplay because it sounded....not good. Don't care who wrote at this point...not in my top ten. I'd say this if Sammy said that...he was being nice because he knows he sings way better.

[@florenciaalvarez3213]

Rick Springfield was the very first musician I saw in concert. I was 10 years old! A musician by the name of Greg Kihn was the opening act and was great. My uncle was an usher at The University of Notre Dame where the concert was held and he got my friends and I awesome seats. Rick Springfield has a great catalog of music and he still tours today. He is also an actor. Great reaction!

[@paulcallaway71]

Funny story, this song was originally written by The Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar, several years prior in the late 70's. Thats why it has that 70's vibe.

[@Leana70]

Plus Rick's album WCD was written and produced in 1979. The entire album is basically late 70s rock vibe.

[@NunyaDammeBiznis]

Sammy said hearing Rick sing it gave him goosebumps.

[@thorfinsky1427]

"Don't Talk To Strangers" is my favorite from Rick.

[@sloebone7399]

Sammy Hagar wrote it, recorded it and it went nowhere. Rick Springfield recorded it and hit big! Sammy asked him about it, why his version turned into such a hit and Rick told him flat out, “I’m much better looking than you are”. That was Sammy’s version of the story. They had a good laugh!

[@sloebone7399]

Regardless of anyone's looks Rick made to song more direct and appealing to the youth of the day.

This song was actually done by Sammy Hagar a few years before this cover. "Human Touch" is a good one by Rick Springfield. The music video for it is hilarious all these years later 😂😀

Love is Alright Tonight is fantastic. Its power pop at its best.

[@tigerpinky]

I love Rick Springfield! This is one of my favorites. I got to see him a few years ago and he put on a great show. He reminds me of Peter Frampton because he had his 'years' being high on the ladder of fame, but never seemed to get the respect (for a large part) for his talent and hard work that other less talented people got but that never deterred him from keeping on and enjoying life. I really enjoy watching people interview him too.

[@lorilemley5348]

Rick has definitely matured over the years. The man will be 73 next month and is still rocking, recording and touring. “Love Somebody “ is a great tune.

[@jimstallings3]

Written by Sammy Hagar, who became Van Halen’s singer in the second half of their career

[@AnOldYoungGuy]

Rick has a lot of great hits but probably my favorite song of his is "My Father's Chair". It's very beautiful and profound, and deserves a listen.

[@lisaj6728]

Rick Springfield!!!! Mercy 🥰😍🥰😍🥰 One that you’d like (b/c of the harder sound) is “Affair of the Heart”. If you can find it, among his very early releases (‘70’s) is “Life is a Celebration”-Amber, I think you’d love that one. It was covered in the 80’s TV series “Fame”. We saw him a few years ago with Pat Benatar-he still rocks (and looks fine…just sayin’ 😄)

[@margaretr4869]

[@gregstilwell7760]

Rick Springfield is not just an 80s artist...he's still recording. Check out some of his post 2000 music. I recommend 'Rock of Life', 'Earth to Angel' or 'Jesus was an atheist'- all on different albums

[@bradparnell614]

I also recommend going backwards and checking out his 70s material. His 1972 album, "Beginnings", and his 1973 album, "Comic Book Heroes" have a lot of gems on them. I even like 1974's "Misson Magic" but mainly for the nostalgia as I remember watching him as a cartoon on this Saturday morning show when I was a kid. His 1976 album, "Wait for Night" is okay too but it was kind of a transition from what he was in the 70s to what he ended up being in the 80s. From the early albums I really like "What Would the Children Think", "1000 Years", "The Unhappy Ending", "Comic Book Heroes/I'm Your Superman", "Misty Mountain Woman", and "Born Out of Time".

[@joebabe302]

Good call Greg! As I mentioned above his more recent stuff of the last 15 years is amazing! My current favorite is “Voodoo House” unbelievable rock/blues! 👍

[@tarafied7322]

I had several Rick Springfield records in the 80s. This one was a favorite. My absolute favorite song of his (still on my phone 😁😁) is Red Hot And Blue Love. It wasn't a hit, but it got a lot of play in clubs I went to. Very bluesy and sexy.

[@leahsunbury9639]

There was 80's pop and there was 80's rock, and many other genres. They all have a very 80's sound to them. Keep delving into the treasure chest that is 80's music and you will never regret it.

I went to a concert at a small venue, in Baltimore MD, featuring Rick Springfield. I didn't really know much about him, but friends had an extra ticket. Just getting into the 1st song they were having technical problems. Instead of going back to the dressing room, Rick held up his arms and said "Who wants an autograph"?!

This was a great one from Rick, and you have many more songs to go to hear all of his hits. I think you will find the evolution of his sound over the 80s to be interesting.

Rick Springfield has been performing since the 60s. He had some modest success in the 70s. He was part of a group, "Zoot" than became a solo artist. He ended up turning to acting and ironically..his acting garnered him a brand new audience in the 80s by way of the character that he played on the long running ABC network soap opera, "General Hospital " . He played the stunningly handsome new Dr. On staff Dr. Noah Drake. Simultaneously...just as his stint was beginning on the soap opera, Rick's album "Working class Dog" dropped and burned up the charts for weeks with his hit single "Jessie's Girl".

But I'll never forget what she told me one day when she was about 6 and sitting in her booster seat in the back seat while we both rocked out to the 80s channel as Jessie's Girl came on. "Oooh, it's your boyfriend, mom. You know you're never gonna marry him, right?" I died a little that day......😅😅😅
