Synopsis

Amazon.com
Talk about ubiquitous stars. Between his role on TV's General Hospital and his No. 1 hit, "Jessie's Girl," Rick Springfield was everywhere you looked in the beginning of the 1980s. With "Jessie's Girl," Springfield hadn't yet become a star in the U.S., and he sang it with an urgency, begging to be taken seriously; by the time of his "Human Touch" single, that's the last thing that was happening. Like most teen idols, Springfield became a caricature of himself. However, there is something redeeming about the unabashed bubblegum glory of "Don't Talk to Strangers," and "Affair of the Heart." Greatest Hits is a quick dozen, and also includes "I've Done Everything for You." --Steve Gdula
 

CD Reviews

Musically terrific, quality lacking
03/29/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The music on the cd is all the wonderful songs we loved in the 80's from Rick, but the sound quality is not the greatest in the world. I would recommend one of the new digitally remastered versions instead. A good cd, but needed some work in production."
