Iconic ’80s Rocker, 75, Drops New Release and It’s All for a Great Cause originally appeared on Parade.
A beloved 1980s musician is still going strong, showing that being 75 years old isn’t slowing him down a bit. Rick Springfield just teased fans with details of a new project he has done, and everybody is eager to get their hands on it.
The iconic “Jessie’s Girl” singer took to Instagram to give his followers a short listen of what he has been putting together. “Here’s a snippet of ‘Go All the Way,’ my cover version of the 1972 Top 5 hit by the Raspberries,” Springfield wrote.
Springfield noted that Windy Wagner, Gregg Bissonette, and Matt Bissonette joined him on the song, and they put it together for a good cause. He noted that it is available for pre-order now, “as a super cool collector’s 45 RPM vinyl single with picture sleeve.”
He also shared that the B side of the record has another Raspberries cover, this time of their song “Tonight.” The audio Springfield included in his post was a snippet of the single, and fans didn’t need to hear anything more to get excited about it.
