In 1979 i met him in a bar in uptown Chicago. I took him with me to an after-party, back then they were called, "house parties" Todd was quiet and shy. Very polite and respectful. I think he enjoyed himself just observing everything going on. He seemed happy. Especially bcz not a single person there recognized him and I had the feeling to keep it that way. So i introduced him as Andy. I have many famous people stories over the years. I used to go out a lot back in those days.
That's awesome! we went to the New Year's Eve concert 78-79 that was rescheduled because the snow storm. oh my gosh I saw him so many times. this is a great film of him and very clear. he looks amazing!❤
I ALWAYS had such a crush on him!!! His soul! And I thought he was gorgeous! I met him twice in Colorado. I'm even more shy than Todd, so the first time I was introduced to him backstage in Boulder I couldn't speak.... he offered his hand and all I could do was sing the words, "Hello, It's Me..." DANG! He was so sweet- he laughed and joked with me kindly. He's just such a genius and I NEVER expected to meet him! Story of my life....Sorry Todd.
Me too. I thought the world of him. He went down a few notches after I heard him make a thoughtless comment in an interview about the physical appearance of the late, great Laura Nyro. I still love his music. We all mispeak at times.
When I heard "I Saw The Light" & "Hello It's Me", I was a Todd Rundgren fan! Beautiful sings, beautiful voice. Top 50 (somewhere in there) male artist of all-time!
🥰 My favorite, all the feels come from deep in my heart whenever I hear this song. Many many years ago a long forgotten heartbreak. I still love the song.
I went to the Ohio State Fair years ago; me & my oldest sister went inside the old dirty horse track to go see his concert. We sat up close to him. He's cool.
I bought the album hermit and mink hollow when I heard this song kept playing in my basement ,such a great song always been a fan of Todd ,Last ride my favorite

I never heard of him and dont remember this virgin of the song its believable though a faulseto voice not to much soft sounds a like soft rock with some soul because of his faulseto voice mandy was good too and Deborah cox but i think this one is better because when a man sings songs like this it show more vonerability if i spelled it wright more sensitivity Deborah cox did have that in her voice you feel it when you sing a song you have to believe that person singing it thats one of the key points but whatever happened to this singer its like steve perry from journey he just had that voice strong voice his range was sharp theres only a few that can bring that emotion to a song i dont know about him later but this one is quite good it should be rememberd thanks for the video
Are you alright my friend ? Your comment seems to indicate that you might be not feeling well, emotionally. I would like to think that I'm just misinterpreting what's on your mind. 🤔
That's very true, but the woman featured in this video is actually his ex-wife Karen Darvin. His first wife Bebe Buell is Liv Tyler's mother. And although Todd raised Liv, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is her actual father.
@@JoeyBrunoMusicArchivesI don't think Todd was married to Bebe or Karen whom he has two sons by..Randy & Rex..he is married to Michele who is son Rebop's Mum
Actually that's Karen Darvin, Todd's girlfriend at the time who.appears in the video, she's the one doing the "interpretive" dancing throughout the performance.
I've tried everything I know to correct the closed captioning option from Spanish to English, to no avail. It's definitely a bug in TH-cam settings menu and not anything on my end that I can correct.,.so sorry about that...
Written by Todd Rundgren We can't play this game anymore, but Can we still be friends? Things just can't go on like before, but Can we still be friends? We had something to learn Now it's time for the wheel to turn Things are said one by one Before you know it's all gone Let's admit we made a mistake, but Can we still be friends? Heartbreak's never easy to take, but Can we still be friends? It's a strange sad affair Sometimes seems like we just don't care Don't waste time feeling hurt We've been through hell together La la la la, la la la la Can we still be friends? Can we still get together sometime? We awoke from our dream Things are not always what they seem Memories linger on It's like a sweet sad old song
It's actually Todd's girlfriend at the time, Karen Darvin. They were never actually married but had two sons while they were together. Michele (Gray) Rundgren has been his wife for the last 30 years.
@@wolfguardian8312 WTH, He's 76. So give me an example of a 76 year old rocker who has aged fantastically ? have you seen Mick Jagger lately ? I mean, 76 is 76, you get old, that's life...🤔🥴🙄

My favorite of all his songs 💗
He was so charming and had a beautiful voice! Greetings from Brasil!
Just an INCREDIBLE Talent
Wow! Still rocking!
😊
Todd is a great musician. His work with Meat Loaf was great too.
I still love this - still hard to see him in that much pain
Was he in pain?
@@cattycorner8 Maybe?, till he got paid for this.
The lyrics are based on a former girlfriend and their eventual breakup, so probably so ..
@richlitton7862
Aren't you the empathetic d-bag. Hit the road dumb ass...

Are you alright my friend ?
Your comment seems to indicate that you might be not feeling well, emotionally.
I would like to think that I'm just misinterpreting what's on your mind. 🤔
I believe this is about Bebe Buell
he says not
Wow! His daughter Liv Tyler looks just like him.
That's very true, but the woman featured in this video is actually his ex-wife Karen Darvin.
His first wife Bebe Buell is Liv Tyler's mother. And although Todd raised Liv, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is her actual father.
Liv Tyler is Steven Tylers daughter. Not Todd Rundgrens
@@queenbtv88
Biologically that’s true, but I think it’s fair to say TR was, and hopefully still is a father figure in her life.
@@JoeyBrunoMusicArchivesI don't think Todd was married to Bebe or Karen whom he has two sons by..Randy & Rex..he is married to Michele who is son Rebop's Mum
I think the piano solo made this record very different had a personal touch
Yes
I always thought he was singing to himself, about his own interpersonal changes, and coming to terms with himself...
Interesting observation Craig, very well might be just that....
❤
Palmer R.....makes a nice job of the record
Agreed. Excellent version, unlike Rod Stewart's version... yuk !
🤣
Rods a bit yuk👍
God said
He worked with meatloaf right?
This music is about his ex.
BB
Actually that's Karen Darvin, Todd's girlfriend at the time who.appears in the video, she's the one doing the "interpretive" dancing throughout the performance.
Appreciate that Mr Joey. @JoeyBrunoMusicArchives

Am I missing something here ?
I have no idea what you're referring to...
@JoeyBrunoMusicArchives. It's a dumb and dumber reference.
Kleck Files

??? What does Kleck Files mean ? 🤔
I remember Todd as slinky hot dude....He's aged badly....
