This was great - thanks for sharing this! "My Father's Chair" is so beautiful and touching. I hate to hear that he was unhappy with himself and hope he is proud and pleased now, cause he is so talented. Check out his new cd VENUS IN OVERDRIVE. It's terrific.
I saw him on the Hard to Hold tour (think it was 1984 or 6, anyway....Really incredible. I have alos seen Zep,The Who etc..it was right up there. I really mean it. So underrated...Rick,is.
You're right about his music being ahead of his time. I was just playing an '81 song of his, and my best friend thought it was some Jason Mraz song...lol...
80'S ROCK, IF IT'S GOOD, IS AS GREAT AS ANOTHER ERA. i LOVE RICK SPRINGFIELD.

'Tao' remains my fav album of his, and one of my top 5 albums of the 80s. Criminally overlooked.
CBC Radio's talk show Q has just posted an interview with Rick.

I know why I married my husband in 1989 - he look exactly like Rick. Except Rick still looks fine - husband kinda fell apart.

Boy am I old. This is my favorite album of RS. Can't find it anywhere. I wish I had it again.

go to Amazon. I know the Canadian site has it, so I'm sure the U.S site has it as well.

He went to a voice coach to lose his Aussie accent.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
The Beat of a Live Drum was a staged video. Filmed on a set. No one was actually in the audience. Just another glimpse of his ego way back when.

If no one was in the audience...I wonder who he was touching during "Human Touch" and "Stand Up"? Nice try buddy.
