“Hard to Hold” was meant to be the vehicle to take Rick Springfield to the next level, but the film was destined to be the tail end of soap star’s peak. Springfield played a womanizing pop star (which we are sure was a big stretch for him as an actor) in a formulaic and predictable piece. The Soundtrack however with songs all done by Springfield did do well and generated three Top 40 hits, though don’t we really only remember him for “Jessie’s Girl”, which is not on the Soundtrack?
