I like Rick - that one is not my particular favorite. I would choose Love is Alright Tonight, Affair of the Heart, or Human Touch. The whole album, Tao, is my favorite of his. Funny that, imo, the better his music got, the less popular he became.

A classic music

My other favorite Springfield jam is "I've Done Everything Thing for You."

His lastest work is amongst his best, people forget he had a career long before Jessies Girl, a top 15 hit in 1972 called "speak to the sky" a gold album that year "Beautiful Feelings" and few other singles before 1980's "jessie girl" and he also had 16 straight top 40 hits during 1980-1985, rick was on fire at that time in terms of the masses even charting a B side, "taxi Dancing" a duet with Randy Crawford from the Horrible "Hard to Hold" movie, great soundtrack, terrible film and he at least knows it was/

My other favorites are "Human Touch","Bop Til You Drop" and "Don't Talk To Strangers".For a few years in the early 80s,he was releasing some quality singles.

Yeah,that movie was sucky lol Interestingly,it was released around the same time as Prince's 'Purple Rain' movie.Who could have imagined that Prince (who wasn't really a "pop superstar" yet) would have the more popular film?
