We Are The 80s Rick Springfield Tour Dates and CD |
|
August 2006
No male solo artist dominated the pop charts in the early 80's as much as Rick Springfield did.
Between his acting gig on General Hospital and his face plastered in just about every teen music
magazine on the mark, Rick Springfield was the man of the early 80's. It has been twenty five
years since Rick's classic album Working Class Dog was released. The album featured the #1
single "Jessie's Girl." Rick also picked up a Grammy award for the song. The songs "I've Done
Everything For You," and "Love Is Alright Tonite" were also big hits from the Working Class
Dog album.
Rick's music videos were always in heavy rotation on MTV. His early videos were rather low
budget but some of his later videos such as "Human Touch" and "Bop Til You Drop" were more
like mini-movies. In 1984, Rick starred in the movie Hard To Hold. As the 80's progressed Rick's
Top 40 popularity faltered just a little bit but he found one last 80's chart hit in the late 80's with
the songs "Rock of Life" in 1988.
Rick's career now is bigger than ever. He tours constantly and he has a very devoted fan base. In
late 2005, Rick rejoined the cast of General Hospital as Dr. Noah Drake.
Rick will be hitting the road this summer as part of the VH-1 Classic We Are The 80s Summer
Tour. Rick will be headlining the shows and Loverboy, Scandal and Eddie Money appear as
special guests on certain dates.
We Are The 80s Rick Springfield arrives in stores on July 18th. The CD includes 14 of Rick's biggest songs. The track list is similar to that of "Rick Springfields Greatest Hits (which means no "Bruce."). The CD also includes new liner notes.
