Australian-American singer, songwriter and actor Rick Springfield celebrates his 74th birthday today. His 1981 break-through album “Working Class Dog” gave him the hit single “Jessie’s Girl” which went to number 1 in his native Australia and the USA. He also won the Grammy Award for “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance” that year. He had further success with a number of follow-up albums throughout the eighties particularly in the United States, and hit singles including “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Affair of the Heart,” “Human Touch” and”Love Somebody.” He has continued releasing new music on a regular basis through the years.
Springfield has just released his latest studio album, “Automatic” which contains 20 new songs. It has been described by Rick as stylistically fitting somewhere between his albums “Working Class Dog” and “Tao”. “Automatic” sees a return to his first love of guitar-based power pop with keyboards, while lyrically featuring his favored subjects of love, sex and death. “Automatic” was written and produced by Springfield himself and he plays all guitars and keyboards on the album.
“She Walks With The Angels” is one of the first singles to be released and is new this week on RadiJohan.

This week in 2005 a life-size bronze statue of Phil Lynott, designed by Irish sculptor Paul Daly, was unveiled on Harry Street in Dublin. The ceremony was attended by his former “Thin Lizzy” band members Gary Moore, Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham. Lynott had a string of hits with “Thin Lizzy,” including “Whiskey in the Jar”, “The Boys are Back in Town” and “Jailbreak.”
In the 1980’s Lynott increasingly suffered drug-related problems, due particularly to a heroin addiction. In 1985 he had a final chart success in collaboration with Gary Moore. ” Out in the Fields” reached number 3 on the Irish singles chart, number 2 in Norway and Sweden, and number 5 in the UK.
Phil Lynott died of pneumonia and heart failure due to septicemia at the age of 36.

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Robbie Robertson, best known as a member of Canadian-American group “The Band” has passed away. He died in Los Angeles on Wednesday at the age of 80, his management has reported to US media.
Robertson began his career at a young age by joining the backing band of rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins in the late 1950’s. In the mid-1960’s, “The Band” emerged, initially as a backing band for Bob Dylan. Later “The Band” grew into a much appreciated group in their own right, with classics such as “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and “The Weight.” In 1976, “The Band” said goodbye with “The Last Waltz,” a grand farewell concert that was made into an album and a movie. The show featured many celebrity guest appearances. The movie was directed by Martin Scorsese.
Robertson also scored a solo hit with 1987’s “Somewhere Down the Crazy River” which was a big hit in the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK.
Robertson also worked on many movie soundtracks including “The Color of Money,” “Gangs of New York, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “The Irishman.” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” released earlier this year, was Robertson’s last movie
Robertson died surrounded by family, a statement from his manager said.

“Cold War Kids” are an American rock band from Long Beach, California who have just finished touring with “Tears For Fears” in the USA. Formed in 2004 they have released nine studio albums to date, the most recent being 2021’s “New Age Norms 3.” It is currently unclear if a new album is imminent but the band have released a brand new single called “Double Life.” According to frontman Nathan Willett:
“Musically, The Pretenders’ ‘The Wait’s’ lively bounce, swing, and edgy rock’n’roll riff influenced ‘Double Life.’ We all lead dual lives to some extent: one that reflects our authentic selves and another that feels uncomfortable or out of place in our surroundings. As a parent the last few years my attention is always divided. And for myself and my friends, we are in this life phase where the masculine & feminine roles in relationships are blurring – and dads I see are so much more maternal than in the generation we were raised – which is wonderful and scary but it’s ok.”
“Double Life” by Cold War Kids is new this week on RadiJohan.
