Rick Springfield (1973) Weep No More - LOST 70s GEMS
With its Elton John style, this histrionic power pop tune was one of Springfields' most underrated songs; this was when he was known more as a teen idol than a serious songsmith. The 'na na nas' (also used in the I'm Your Superman track represents the loose comic book theme of the album) and the crisp rock guitar crunch mixing with the hissy vocals time stamps this as part of the early 70s singer songwriter AM Pop/ FM Soft Rock sound of Elton, David Cassidy, Neil Diamond and Andy Kim; artists who drew from Bubblegum music as much as soul in their pop rock arrangements.
