I just went to one of his concerts in Denver and got to meet him. He looks so good and so young that it is freaky. Not just his face either his body too.. I guess he'll just be hot forever

I think Rick did a wonderful job singing on Cheryl's special and he looks really cute even in the pink suit - so handsome. Fun to hear Rick sing a ballad but I love his 80s pop music, his 90s "karma" and the newer harder edge stuff. I watched this video several times and -happy belated b/day to Rick. Who has aged beautifully!

For anyone who needs to wash away the horrific mental picture of Rick's performance with Cheryl, go to youtube STAT!!! Best. Video. EVER!!!

buffy, thanks for that correction. Those spiral staircases on sets were the IN thing back then! And unfortunately, no, it's not a typo. Rick is really 58. He was born in 1949. VERY hard to believe, isn't it? Those Australian men age well!

58?! That's gotta be a typo. You meant 48, right?

Wow- stacydarc- take a chill pill. You might still have your Cheryl Ladd posters hanging about, but seriously, 9.9 out of 10 people age 20-death would not have known that about the "fill-in" Charlie's Angel. Signed, a 36 year old.

I have always liked RIck Springfield's music; call it a guilty pleasure, but the guy has talent. And he still looks great. Rock on, Noah Drake!Lol...Everybody now: We all need/The Human Touch/I NEEEEEED IT/The Human Touch....

Of course Cheryl Ladd sings. She STARTED her career as a singer. Did many commercials, the aforementioned Josie and The Archies. That's her you hear on "Sugar sugar". I wish the 20 year old writers on this magazine would do some research before shooting off their mouths.

This is from a Cheryl Ladd TV special. Yes, I videotaped this back in the 80's.

Ooo! ooo! I bet I know what show that video's from. It's gotta be American Bandstand. I'd recognize that white spiral staircase anywhere! And Mandi, I'm with ya sista. Rick's so hotty hot hot until the dancing starts. Yikes! Dude does better when he's got his guitar strapped on. And BTW, I had the EXACT SAME hairstyle as Cheryl back then. Ahhh, the feathered bangs...

I LOVED Rick in the early '80s, the mid '80s (Tao was an AWESOME album that even guys liked!), the '90s, and today. He still looks amazingly hot and I can't WAIT to catch GH tomorrow. Ooops, gotta go set my DVR STAT!!!! (And BOOOOOOOO to anyone who says the fashions and/or music of the early '80s sucked.... you obviously have no taste!)

William Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 06:02 PM EST

Yea what's up with them signing in completly different directions and part of the stage? I also like how suddenly she is sprawled out on the stage singing. What show is this from? Love it!

Broadway Baby Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 01:24 PM EST

I LOVE this! Where has this video been all my life? I need some crackers to spread this on!

Lene Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 11:22 AM EST

Oh, dear. The early 80's really sucked in terms of clothing, although yeah, he does pull off the pink suit. who knew I'd ever type that sentence?? I had a huge crush on Rick Springfield way back when. I'm almost afraid of seeing what he looks like now...

Snarf Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 11:21 AM EST

Wasn't Cheryl Ladd the vocalist behing the cartoon Josie & The Pussy-Cats?

Jilly Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 10:32 AM EST

Jessie's Girl is still one of the best '80s songs out there. Happy Bday Rick.

Court Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 09:36 AM EST

Yeah, he's still pretty good-looking. that GH plot, though...

Happy Birthday, Rick! it's my birthday, too! yay.

Nancy Walker Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 09:20 AM EST

Oh my! Rick Springfield was gorgeous. And yes, he pulled off the pink suit. At least he can sing. Miss Ladd is delusional. She would not have made it past Simon Cowell. He must have had a thing for her to do this number with her.

Tamara Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 09:12 AM EST

Holy gods, that is a bizarre arrangement... and interesting "choreography."

I must confess that I actually owned a Cheryl Ladd album. Yes, she had an album. Yes, I owned it. In my defense, I was about 10.
