My Take

Rick Springfield is one of those guys who never quite gets the credit he deserves — people remember "Jessie's Girl" (and okay, fair, it's an absolute earworm that hit number one in 1981 and won him a Grammy) but they forget he's a legit singer-songwriter who wrote his own material, played his own instruments, and kept putting out records decade after decade while plenty of his New Wave contemporaries faded away. The fact that this Sydney kid crossed the Pacific, cracked the American market wide open, and eventually earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame says everything about the grind behind the charm. Add in a sideline acting career — most memorably as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital — and you've got a guy who refused to be pigeonholed. He's cheesy in the best possible way, and I mean that as genuine praise.
