Rick Springfield Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Rick Springfield (produced Richard Lewis Springthorpe; 23 August 1949) is an Australian musician, singer songwriter, and performer. He followed with four more top10 US hits, “I Have Done Everything for You”, “Do Not Speak to Strangers”, “Affair of the Heart” and “Love Somebody”. His two US top10 records are “Working Class Dog” (1981) and “Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet” (1982). In 2010, Springfield released his autobiography, “Late, Late at Night: A Memoir”.
Rick Springfield was 13 when he first played guitar, and he joined various groups in England where his dad was stationed 1958–1963, and several more after returning to Australia. Later in the year, Watson switched the group’s name to MPD Ltd, as well as in October — when Springfield was 19 years old — they toured South Vietnam to amuse Australian troops. Another member of MPD Ltd was Danny Finley (drummer). Upon returning to Australia, with Springfield, they formed Wickedy Wak. They were joined by Phil Blackmore on keyboards and Dick Howard. Go-Set journalist Ian “Molly” Meldrum created Wickedy Wak’s single, “Billie’s Bikie Sons” with Beeb Birtles of pop rock group Zoot as a backing vocalist.

1 | [on Hard to Hold (1984)] They wanted to see me for one of the guys in The Right Stuff (1983). And I'd just gotten friggin' Hard To Hold and I said, "I don't need to be a part of an ensemble, I'm going to be a star in my own movie," and it was one of the stupidest fucking decisions I ever made. |
2 | I've always been something of a whore with my acting, but never my music. |
3 | Writing music is what I enjoy most. And playing it. I want to give people the kind of positive feeling I used to get from a really good concert. |
