Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

Springfield is known to most female fans as Dr. Noah Drake from the soap opera General Hospital. Back in 1981, Springfield took the acting gig on General Hospital because he had already recorded the album Working Class Dog and he didn't think it was going to do very well. But, Jessie's Girl exploded on the charts and went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, so he toured extensively while acting on the soap. Springfield has said that the two roles actually fueled each other. The more popular the song got, the more popular the soap got and vice versa. Jessie's Girl remains his only #1 hit. Enjoy!
