My Take
Jack Wagner is, to me, a perfect emblem of American soap-opera glamour. He moved through a murderers' row of daytime hits, General Hospital, Santa Barbara, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Melrose Place, yet refused to be boxed in as just an actor. His 1985 single "All I Need" climbing to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 proves the man could genuinely sing, and he plays guitar and golfs on top of it. What impresses me is the longevity: a kid from small-town Washington, Missouri who built a durable, multi-hyphenate career in a notoriously fickle industry. That staying power earns my respect.
