Rick Springfield Surprises a Super Fan

Aired on: March 21, 2012, October 7, 2011

Rick Springfield had women swooning in the '80s as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital, but when his single "Jessie's Girl" hit #1 on the charts, everyone knew his name. Rachael asks Rick if he's ever gotten sick of playing that song. "No, because they're like your children," he says. "I wrote it — and I've written other songs and I wish they were as popular — but it's certainly gone on and had legs. It's in the Glee 3D movie. It's kind of amazing, I'm sitting back going, why didn't I write 80 of these! So I'm proud of it."

Watch the video above to see him surprise super fan Danielle, who fell in love with Rick 30 years ago when she was a teenager!
