Feature trailer for the documentary An Affair of the Heart.
Some may find the rabid devotion of Rick Springfield’s multi-generational community of fans perplexing. If his 17 Top 40 hits (i.e. “Jessie’s Girl”), or his stint on General Hospital didn’t convince you, watching him blast out 80+ high-energy performances a year and interacting with unsuspecting fans certainly will. Somewhere between the introvert plagued with lifelong depression and the 60-something extrovert lies the real Rick Springfield. For diehard fans, it’s more than a crush; some have overcome deep trauma by connecting with his music; all share a unique bond of reciprocity with him. An Affair of the Heart is a surprisingly soulful examination of the human journey.
