I remember loving this song as a kid. Wow the camera really loved him haha he looked really good here.

I remember this like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful, simpler time. I was 12 yrs old when this aired.

Ditto on both for me

I watched this in 1981.Still great and worth watching again. There needs to be a revival of this show format to preserve for future generations

It wouldn’t get ratings on television now. People watch music on KZread mostly and it’s not as financially viable now to promote music on television in this kind of way. It doesn’t help that Milli Vanilli essentially made lip-syncing essentially an “inauthentic” way to promote music on television.

He was quite the looker!

haileyh500 Still is! Can't wait to see him in 2 weeks! ❤️️

Love how Dick Clark really supported and rooted for Rick's success through the years!

I saw this back in May 1981. I think his follow up song that wasn't shown here was Love is Alright Tonight. Love that song also!

No , ive done everything for you was the follow-up or B-side to the 45 , anyway

Yes! I had Rick's fine ass on my wall in 1982 alongside Prince and Rick James!!! Thank you Bop Magazine!!! 🖤❤🖤

Rick Springfield's hair looked awesome when he feathered it like this years ago! He is three years away from turning seventy years old now, but he still has lots of charisma and is incredibly talented! ~Dutch

He was plastered all over my bedroom walls. I loved him

I watched this live when I was 8 years old. Just mind blowing nostalgia.

May 23rd 81' the day after I graduated HS

this song never gets old, at least as far as I'm concerned I love him for life

I love his songs!!!! Jessie's Girl is my favorite!!! He does bring back great memories... He is so fine and cute!!!! 🔥🔥🔥.... He is still touring, with Richard Marx, they sound so good still!!!! ❤️❤️❤️... 🌹🌹🌹.....

man I loved this song and him...he was gorgeous!!

From General hospital to now still love me some Rick Springfield.

you got that right. our gen music was the best!

in 1981 I was one year old It was a baby excellent song

I saw him 5 months after this show in Detroit.

i love rick

really loved Born in the USA…whoops, wrong guy.🙂 seriously Rick is fantastic. Working Class Dog great album.

Really Cool.....

Oh I loved this song I was in 10th grade

One hot dude I was in love with this man!!

Saw him at the Vegas a few years back at MGM GRAND ,VEGAS,so good 👍..

Cutie ❤

I remember that day !

Three months from this performance I was born lol

I just started Jr High when this song came out. All the girls had a pic of Rick in their lockers.

jack white on drums again!

He looks so hot

He is still a handsome devil

My sister accidentally hit him in the rear end at the airport. She said he was so gracious about it. She had her toddler with her so I'm pretty sure he knew it was accidental. My kids are 22 months apart and I've done a lot of dumb stuff over the years just trying to wrangle them lol.

Another great Australian export.

ha ha too funny and those eyes... I wish I had a cord to plug my guitar into//Jessie?

He is rock singer and soap star gh on abc

❤🔥

Not a dry set of underwear left in that audience , including the guys. Springfield was one handsome man.

JEFF HARDIN but back then I didn't think sexual. To me he was the most beautiful male face and so kind. YES, I was that dumb. Most teenier think husband material...all MY friends will envy us with our twins in a buggy (I know all the pain in labor I had no clue to..it was just a perfect life), I don't know if times have changed, but it was never sexual at the age of 12. Today, I wouldn't change a thing; he is still my perfect, dream I don't want it spoiled by reality. Sorry Jeff no all of us think from the crotch.

Greta Ginn ...I see no 12 year Olds in that audience but thanks for your comment.

Back when no one paid attention to see if they were really playing these instruments or lip synching. They were indeed lip synching and pretending to play. People even cheered when he did that guitar solo part. People just had very little awareness back then. I guess a kind of innocence.

rsandus Thank you for posting this great video of Rick Springfield. Do you have any more footage of this American Bandstand episode from 1981?

He's a killer. The camera loves him.

Have you ever noticed Dick Clark always situated himself between young girls? Check any AB vid, he fucking always did.

Not sure that Rick thought he was being Elvis. Remember Rick wrote his own music. Plus played the guitar as part of a band. Elvis didn't really do that.
