Rick Springfield – Jessie’s Girl – cover

The 80s hit “Jessie’s Girl” debuted on Billboard’s chart in 1981 but it took 19 weeks before it finally reached number one!

Of course now we know the tune as an 80s staple.

What other songs can you guys think of that were slow to catch on in popularity but went on to become big successes?

Written and performed by Australian singer Rick Springfield, the song would earn him his only Grammy.

How do you think my version stacked up? Let me know in the comments.
