Todd Rundgren Sang “Hello It’s Me” – Then He Changed Hard Rock Forever
Todd Rundgren had a gentle, aching piano ballad in the Top 5 in the winter of 1973. “Hello It’s Me.” The kind of song that still plays on oldies radio a thousand times a year.
Then he produced one of the loudest, most theatrical rock albums ever made, and played its famous guitar solo himself.
