1000 Years - Rick Springfield

A song composed by Rick Springfield that goes unnoticed because of it's release in the 70's when the absurdly false rumour was spread regarding his album Beginnings. When people started gossiping that kids were being payed to purchase Beginnings, radio stations refused to play the album and his musical career in the 70's pretty much went down the tubes. Cheers to him for gaining his due in the 80's.
But here he is, for those of you who discounted the rumor and for those who believed it, Rick Springfield in the earliest days of his career. I hope to have this music heard almost 4 decades since it's release, and hopefully with more respect than it originally received.

I remember this album well, and wish I still had it. I still think it's his best work. Do you have any more tracks from it?

[WildwoodFlowerGirl]

@NancyG62 indeed i do, i have the whole album. any requests?

I always considered this LP to be one of his BEST. It was Rick before the fame and fortune...and to me, his talent was far more evident in these "under-directed" tracks...without the massive pop studio sound that the 80s gave us. I actually purchased this LP three times...and played them to pieces.

I still have this album. It was my mothers. But in 1978 I was 4 years old and she was playing it. I fell in love with Hooky Joe. He has signed it twice and I am hoping for a 3rd time this Sept. at his show! I love this man!!!

@gracehopper1 I have uploaded a copy of The Ballad of Annie Goodbody from on of my LPs. Check it out. I also placed the remainder of the Beginnings album that I couldn't find. Songs like "Lead Me On", "Mother Can You Carry Me", "Come On Everybody", etc. Hope you enjoy.

@WildwoodFlowerGirl I used to own this album but lost it in a move...I would love to have The Ballad of Annie Goodbody!

I had all of Rick Springfield's albums from the 70's and 80's. He was my first love in music. I like the stuff from the 70's more than any other ones. This is one of my favorite songs. The Beginnings album is my favorite album by him.
