Rick Springfield, born in Australia, began his musical career at the ripe old age of thirteen. He was being compared to other teen idols such as Donny Osmond and David Cassidy. His 1981 album, “Working Class Dog,” contained the smash hit single “Jessie’s Girl.” He won the 1981 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal. Other tops hits include “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Affair of the Heart,” and “Love Somebody.”
