Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. He is the creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, a Grammy winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” "I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.”

As a performer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Richard Marx's career has spanned nearly three decades. He has sold more than 30 million albums and, beginning in 1989, achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.

“Surfin,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “Help Me Rhonda,” and “California Girls,” have forever changed the musical landscape.

In 2016, The Beach Boys celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hit “Good Vibrations,” which is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll. The Beach Boys continue to have fun, fun, fun performing, with no end in sight.
