Talk about ubiquitous stars. Between his role on TV's General Hospital and his No. 1 hit, "Jessie's Girl," Rick Springfield was everywhere you looked in the beginning of the 1980s. With "Jessie's Girl," Springfield hadn't yet become a star in the U.S., and he sang it with an urgency, begging to be taken seriously; by the time of his "Human Touch" single, that's the last thing that was happening. Like most teen idols, Springfield became a caricature of himself. However, there is something redeeming about the unabashed bubblegum glory of "Don't Talk to Strangers," and "Affair of the Heart." Greatest Hits is a quick dozen, and also includes "I've Done Everything for You." <I>--Steve Gdula</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great collection of 80s pop/rock.......2005-11-10

Whilst critics will always pan Rick Springfield as a light weight throwaway, what they may fail to realise is that he can write some of the most cleverly crafted pop/rock you are likely to hear.

This album is a testimony to Rick's song writing skills. There are more hooks and catchy choruses here than your average starlet today could even dream of writing.

All the hits are here:
-Jessie's Girl
- Affair of the heart
- Don't Talk to strangers etc.

My only beef is that they didn't include the excellent "Written in Rock" track. Maybe next time.....

Buy it if you love great 80's pop/rock

5 out of 5 stars loved it!!! a great selection of his best songs.......1999-04-24

a good choice. I really enjoy his outlook and artistic ability. I feel he is singing to me.

3 out of 5 stars Musically terrific, quality lacking.......1999-03-29

The music on the cd is all the wonderful songs we loved in the 80's from Rick, but the sound quality is not the greatest in the world. I would recommend one of the new digitally remastered versions instead. A good cd, but needed some work in production.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent start for those replacing theirs on vinyl.......1999-03-14

A very good start to replacing his albums you have on vinyl, yes, I said vinyl, or to get an introduction to his diverse stylings. An excellent overview of his early to mid-career works.
