He could have stopped after his 2nd album, (as criminal as that would've been) and his legacy would still be legend.. The brilliance of "The Ballad of Todd Rundgren" and :"Runt" still shine through the never ending saga of his epic career !!
I can see the cobblestone streets, and feel the glowing reverie in this one. It reminds me of when you meet someone and after so much rejection you expect once again for them not to get you because you're just too much. But there's one face, one person who surrenders just like you do. No Artifice."Be nice to me" encapsulates that moment.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing archive and it is timely for myself and a family that is mourning the loss of a beloved brother. Rest in Peace John.....
It’s extremely special! Todd is such an anomaly. It’s difficult to imagine what it would be like to be so talented and gifted in so many ways. Yep. These songs, Todd, and you, for posting it- all keepers!
Heart wrenching songs. Todd's ballads are the best.
Todd at his best. Simple yet beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
He always had tunes to make you melt into a pool--even now.
I love early, delicate, innocent Todd. This is quite a find. Radio performance, I presume.
It was on an LP I don't remember which one...yes he is a sweetie pie!...
That's some tear jerking songs Todd /I almost had tears rolling down my face listening to these sad songs ❤

He could have been as big as Emitt Rhodes !!!
Such gentle compositions, a lovely voice
I love this song so much 😭. It never gets old . Thank you so much Todd . I was very young when I first heard this song .
Wow. This is pure gold.
Todd is classic!
7/1/71 Live from Philadelphia Box O Todd Todd and the Hello People.
You are so good, Todd!

A musical genius and a part of the soundtrack of my high school years. Fox Theater/Atlanta Utopia concert. Epic!

My condolences to you and your family, Mary
There goes Todd!
Yikes!
What do you mean, Mr. Menace?
I was in Awe
He travels every where
We shook hands. 😳 remember
It doesn't matter. When you get old does it Todd
Met you Amarillo in 1977
Thoughtful..
Thank you so much for posting this! It made me 😊.
It is pretty special huh? Glad you liked it.

Where did you find this jewel
But I think that my being would cease to be....wow
Near the driveway. It was cold out
Wasn't this from the Philly rock station broadcast. The same one where Todd covers "All My Lovin' " by The Beatles.
WMMR or WDAS
You gave me your snotragto hold
In the hallway in the civic center.
My bad. It's off of Runt.
Is this off of the Ballad album?
These come from his 1st solo album Runt.
Todd is almost 7 foot tall. And skinny as reil.. well you have to look up to him
Nah. He is about 5' 10". Remember the measure of a man is not his height but the depth of his character. For women I have no clue.
Whatever
