He wrote and played all the instruments.. He not only sang, but was quite the musician and producer. Definitely a rare talent and dreadfully underrated.

Todd Rundgren is a master of great music, the kind we can all relate to and get hooked on!

Superbly soulful, rockin' R&B from probably THE most underrated musician in 'modern' rock circles. Todd is a bottomless pit of talent and creativity, had the good fortune to meet him and shake his hand backstage in '94 after his solo show "An Interactive Evening with Todd Rundgren" at Manchester Academy, where he performed from inside a specifically designed pod encircled by various keyboards, guitars, props and effects. He was visibly surprised and touched when almost the entire audience sang along to more than one of his songs, word for word. Myself and 3 other mates had driven 6-7 hours down from Scotland to see him, and drove straight back up after the gig and meeting him. An almost life-changing event, rather than just a Todd gig.

By the way, anyone that thinks this song was a stroke of luck by Todd has no idea what they're talking about. He's one of the most talented musicians of our time.

Very influential music man. At 70 he's never gotten his proper respect. He's done it all in music. He still lives for the music and leads a full creative life. Plus I had hair like his in my heyday...
