[distortion20]

LOL... This is great ! I always tell ppl " I'm so old I remember when Rick Springfield was Australian "

[recyk1]

So proud of Rick, he really put one on the board for Australia. Love the track Children.

[MegaJosie44]

Which one do you people prefer? Springfield Or Cassidy?

[Ways2BWicked]

@MegaJosie44 Rick, of course!

Jeff Porcaro in the house band for S & C!

I'm sensing a David Cassidy vibe here. LOL

[landrykkb]

@dsfddsgh Rick Springfield had competed with David Cassidy for the teenage girls' attention then.

[lcowles]

Wow. Ten years before he hit big with Jesse's Girl and Working Class Dog.

This so amazing that you have this video. Rick was so young! Hard to believe he is 62 now and still so sexy!

[MegaJosie44]

I think that Rick Springfield and Cher need to do a duet together. Awesome performance.

[Ramoneoh]

Awesome! Mission: Magic! :D

[RAG1060]

I wonder if he tried to hit on Cher... he was a dog! Cute, but a dawg!

[TheJUNGLESURFER]

awesome

[mmmboots9]

A million thank you's for uploading this! I've wanted to see this ever since I found out about it! Rick is, without a doubt, the most adorable man ever born.

[Aubreynjason]

For the one who asked me...I taped it on VHS in 1996 it aired on TVLand =)

[Nisedavidson]

Thanks so much for posting this video! So cute! Could he be any cuter? I started listening to him in the 80's when I was 12, and still love listening to him! I love being able to go back and listen to his earlier stuff! What did we ever do before YOUTUBE? =}

[lejjamie]

So young - such a gentle sweet sad song. His voice sounds so pure. I have followed this man's career forever and his talent is superb. Kinda cool looking at this video clip now after so many years. Still love ya Rick! Thanks Sonny & Cher for showcasing him that night.

[cavecreekgirl]

I LOVE how he still bites his lip to this day when he's nervous!

[donnaneil086]

I was only 1 yr old, all I can say is WOW!

[itsmepaulaw]

[JosephineDeT]

He's so cute.

[TheMikesMaiden]

OMG he still had his accent

[MissNovemberTuesday]

@TheMikesMaiden It is just too cute!

[Chknpk]

Aw, he still had his Aussie accent back then! This is so great!

[DubhghlasMcQ]

Early Rick Springfield!!! I watched every Sonny and Cher show back in the day, so I would've seen this. Cool!

[WildwoodFlowerGirl]

This is great and he is so fetching...I've been wanting to see this for ages, thank you for sharing!

[Aubreynjason]
