The follow ing year, his single Love Somebody from the soundtrack album to the movie Hard to Hold (in which Springfield made his big screen debut) hit No. 5 on the Billboard singles chart. After years of live performances, gru eling tour schedules and recording back- to-back hit albums with chart-topping singles, Springfield decided to take a break to spend time with his family when his first son was bom in 1985. During his hiatus, he released the albums Rock of Life and Sahara Snow. He returned to the concert stage in 1998 with the release of his album Karma. He imme diately was performing to sold-out crowds. Springfield hit the ground running in 2005 by releasing The Day After Yester day, a collection of his own interpretations of hit songs he wishes he had written. He ended 2005 with his long-anticipated return to General Hospital in the same role he originated nearly 25 years ago. He con tinues to make appearances on the show. In 2006, Springfield released a con cert DVD, Live in Rockford, which was filmed live as part of the HDNet Concert Series at the historic Coronado Theatre in Rockford, Ill., and showcases his extremely high energy performances.

After graduating in 1975 he continued performing with bluegrass and country groups, among them the Ricky Skaggs Band, until 1983 when he signed with RCA records. He moved his family to Nashville to follow his dream of being a country music star. In 1987, he achieved his first top-five single, Cinderella, from his album The Way Back Home.
