105.7 KOKZ is your home for classic American Top 40 shows every weekend! Saturday morning at 9 Casey has the top songs from May 6th, 1978 and on Sunday he features the hits from May 12th, 1984. One of the songs you’ll hear on Sunday is today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Rick Springfield with “Love Somebody”.
Rick had hid first top 40 hit in 1971, but it wasn’t until a decade later that his music career really took off with his #1 smash “Jessie’s Girl”, the first of his 16 hits in the 80’s. “Love Somebody” was the first single from his album “Hard to Hold” which was a soundtrack for the movie of the same name. The song was a top 5 hit for Rick in ’84.
The movie on the other hand was a flop, even Rick knew the script was terrible but if someone throws enough money at you….well the rest isn’t movie history! Check out Rick Springfield with “Love Somebody” it’s today’s Forgotten 45.
