Billboard Hot 100 peak: #23 (three weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 6

Today's Song of the Day is by Australian-born singer and soap opera star Rick Springfield, who was enjoyed a double bonus career as both Dr. Noah Drake on the hugely successful General Hospital, as well as a renewed rock star, with his third hit album in a row already scoring two hits with the top-10 smash "Affair Of The Heart" and the top-20 followup "Human Touch". He got his third big single from the album with his self-penned pop confection "Souls"....
