'Jessie's Girl' Springfield in concert in 1985. 34 Years Ago ‘JESSIE’S GIRL’ GOT A TV SOAP SALES BUMP Rick Springfield’s role on the top-rated General Hospital helped him reach No. 1 in 1981 ON AUG. 1, 1981, RICK SPRINGFIELD jumped to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to his role on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. The Australian singer-actor had appeared on the Hot 100 previously (going as high as No. 14 with his first entry, 1972’s “Speak to the Sky”), but his TV exposure brought the 31-year-old a new level of fame. Springfield’s debut single for RCA, “Jessie’s Girl,” arrived on the Hot 100 dated March 28, 1981 — the same month that he joined the cast of General Hospital as Dr. Noah Drake. On an average day that year, more than 11 million viewers watched the show, according to Nielsen, making it the top daytime serial at the time. And that sizable audience helped make the guitar- CODA driven pop song Springfield’s first and only Hot 100 No. 1. A Grammy Award for best male rock vocal performance followed. Though Springfielddeparted the show as a regular in 1983, his music and acting career continued to blossom: He has notched 21 singles on the Hot 100, appeared in Dave Grohl’s Sound City documentary, can currently be seen as a creepy therapist in HBO’s True Detective and will star alongside Meryl Streep in the filmRicki and the Flash, which opens Aug. 7. Springfield wasn’t the only beneficiary of General Hospital. Through the use of music on the program — or its actors moonlighting as singers — the show helped generate Hot 100 smashes for Herb Alpert (“Rise,” No. 1 in 1979), Patti Austin and James Ingram (“Baby, Come to Me,” No. 1 in 1983), Christopher Cross (“Think of Laura,” No. 9 in 1984) and soap actor Jack Wagner (“All I Need,” No. 2 in 1984). —KEITH CAULFIELD TITLE-Artist (Producer) Writer, Label& Number (Distributing Label) JESSIE'S GIRL-RickSpringfield (Perth Olsen), R.

  • 'Hallmark Channel's Christmas
    ‘HALLMARK CHANNEL’S CHRISTMAS CONCERT’ Cast Bios Jack Wagner- During a career that has spanned over 30 years, Jack Wagner has proven himself to be not just a triple, but also a quadruple threat. Though most well known for his work in television, Wagner has achieved great recognition as an accomplished stage actor, musician, and holds the rare distinction of being a scratch golfer. Wagner recently starred in and executive produced the original telefilm “The Wedding March,” which has now spawned three additional films within the franchise, and he guest starred on Showtime’s “Ray Donovan.” Musically, Wagner recently released his long-awaited, sixth full-length album, On the Porch. A collection of 12 original songs, all written or co-written by the Missouri native, the album takes Wagner back to his Americana roots. On the Porch, produced by Dave Darling, has an authentic down-home feel brimming with textured acoustic instrumentation (slide guitar, dobro, mandolin, etc.). The collaboration resulted in a thoroughly gratifying 41-minute listening experience. In 1983, after graduating from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Wagner landed the starring role on the number one daytime series, “General Hospital.” Portraying rocker Frisco Jones afforded him the opportunity to record songs for the show, which eventually led to a multi-album deal with Quincy Jones’ Warner Bros. imprint, Qwest Records. Wagner’s debut LP released in 1984, spawned a massive hit single in the title track, “All I Need.” He would go on to release four follow-up albums, generating four more top 40 singles.

We were always told that we could not put the clock back and to do this would be tantamount to a. blasphemous interference with the divine order of sunrise and sunset.

I would advise our contributors however: observe closely and, before you write, think in words instead of in vague or careless pictures. Only then should you put pen to paper. One should practise constantly, for it must be borne in mind that a clear and effective style cannot happen of its own accord, One learns to think by thinki ng - to write by writing and nobody can be taught to be creative Avoid the long editorials and long short stories - the dachs- hunds of literature.
