Rick Springfield had a No. 1 hit with "Jessie´s Girl" in 1981 in both Australia and the US and he received the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Jessie´s Girl". He followed with four more top 10 US hits, "I´ve Done Everything for You", "Don´t Talk to Strangers", "Affair of the Heart" and "Love Somebody". His two US top 10 albums are Working Class Dog (1981) and Success Hasn´t Spoiled Me Yet (1982). As an actor, he portrayed Dr. Noah Drake on the daytime drama General Hospital, from 1981 to 1983 and during 2005 to 2008. Technically and sonically far beyond it´s year, ´Tao´ was released late 1985. It was a huge departure from anything Rick had ever tried before. The album was much more experimental and complex and featured a heavy mix of guitar, synthesizer, vocal effects, sampling and drum machines.
