1973-74......#5 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #2 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #17 Canada
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Hello It's Me" is a song written by American musician Todd Rundgren. It was the first song he wrote, and was recorded by his group Nazz as a slow ballad, released as the B-side of the band's first single, "Open My Eyes", in 1968. A mid-tempo version of "Hello It's Me", recorded for Rundgren's 1972 solo album Something/Anything?, was issued as a single in 1973, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Hello It's Me" was the first song written by Todd Rundgren. Written in 1967 as a slow ballad about the breakup of a relationship, it was released in October 1968 as the B-side of his band Nazz's debut single "Open My Eyes", and included on the debut album Nazz (1968). Although released as a B-side, it was picked up in preference to the A-side by Boston radio station WMEX, where it rose to No. 1, and was subsequently picked up by other stations. It entered the Billboard chart in February 1969, peaking at number 71, and re-entered the charts the following January, this time peaking at number 66. In Canada, it ranked number 41 in March 1969, and number 58 in February 1970.
Rundgren's songs in this early phase of his career were heavily influenced by the work of Laura Nyro, but in a 2005 interview he revealed that the basic structure of the song was adapted from the introduction of a Jimmy Smith recording:
...the main influence for Hello It's Me was an eight bar intro that Jimmy Smith played on a recording of When Johnny Comes Marching Home. He had this whole sort of block chord thing that he did to set up the intro of the song. I tried to capture those changes, and those changes became what are the changes underneath Hello It's Me. I then had to come up with melody and words, but the changes are actually almost lifted literally from something that was, from Jimmy Smith's standpoint, a throwaway.
- Todd Rundgren, puremusic.com
Rundgren recorded a more midtempo version of "Hello It's Me" for his 1972 solo album Something/Anything? It was released twice as a single, with the second issue in 1973 becoming Rundgren's only top ten pop hit, reaching No. 5 on the Hot 100. It also reached No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Ultimate freedom and there were no helicopter parents, every house on the block had kids there was always someone to hangout with and play ball, throw Oranges at cars, ride our mini bikes and Go carts. We were always outside building tree forts or getting into trouble of some sort.

They did that "Glam Rock Look" for a different reason. Back in the day if you did not sell albums you wouldn't be around long, so if they did a show, they wanted to be remembered, that outfit was sketched into peoples memories, so they bought the albums because they remembered the name, the outfits, the glam rockers, that why KISS did what they did. Its about EYES ON. Now-a-days with the internet people can become world famous in minutes. Different time. They were nit doing it to be feminine, or most weren't, save for a few like Boy George who really wasn't that good anyway.

@@MrRondonmon​​⁠ they dress like that because they liked how they looked. They weren’t all just “trying to sell records.” The look originated from the fact that a lot of those bands liked looking like that. It just happened to be a feminine look. It wasn’t a big deal except to people who hate it when men dress feminine, but that’s their problem. Also Boy George is great, always has been, and they can look however they want, it shouldn’t bother anyone.

My best friend for nearly 40 years passed away quickly and unexpectedly. Weeks afterwards I was woken out of a dead sleep hearing Todd R. Think of me. The noise the song in my sleep was so loud it woke me up. I was alone ,it was very quiet within the house. Like an earworm I heard in my mind , think of me. I then remembered the dream I just had and the loudness of the lyrics. I knew David had spoken to me. Telling me he's near anytime I want. Miss ya loads David lee.

I think about this topic sometimes and how it relates to an episode of The Twilight Zone in which a guy in the Sixties longs for the simpler life of the Twenties or maybe it was an earlier time. I think there was a lot of stress in the Seventies, but we only remember the good parts. I was in my teens in the Seventies.

@@TighelanderII I think one reason people think of it as being less stressful was how our relationship with media was different. Nightly news, not a 24 hour cycle. A focus on nationalistic topics rather than world events. Music and entertainment being dolled out by fewer sources, so that there was a baseline of pop culture that most people knew and related to (of course there were always those who would seek out more sources). But it seems like when the structure of society was more simple and less individualistic that we look back at it as being less stressful. Course, I could always be wrong.

If he were to come on to the scene with those teeth today, he would be crucified on social media and everywhere, actually. What ever happened to people's individuality? Everyone looks the same these days, everything has to be perfect. It's a shame, I think he looks great just as he is.

This song really makes me smile. My brother introduced me to Todd Rundgren's music when he was still in Utopia. I've liked him ever since. I'll never forget about 32 years ago, I was putting my 4 year old niece to bed. I sang to her, "Hello, it's me🎶" to which my niece sang back, " 🎶 Hello, I'm your Mini-Me!" We both giggled together. My special nickname for her was Mini-Me because she looked more like me than her parents, lol! I'm still the only one to call her that, even though she's the same height as me now, lol! She'll always be my Mini-Me! Every time I hear this song, I think of her. So hard to believe she's all grown up now.
