Australian singer, songwriter, musician and actor Rick Springfield got his musical start as the 1960’s were coming to an end. As a teen idol, American audiences first got to know him via the ABC Saturday morning cartoon series
Mission: Magic!; the show featured him singing original songs each week. In 1981, he landed the role of Dr. Noah Drake on the hit soap opera
General Hospital which in turn helped him revitalize his recording career.
Thirty years ago today (March 23rd, 1982), Springfield released his Platinum selling album
Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet. The album reached number 28 in his native Australia, number 6 in Canada, and number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 200 album charts. It generated a number of hit singles as well.
