"Hello It's Me" is a song written by American musician Todd Rundgren. It was the first song he wrote, and was recorded by his group Nazz as a slow ballad, released as the B-side of the band's first single, "Open My Eyes", in 1968. A mid-tempo version of "Hello It's Me", recorded for Rundgren's 1972 solo album Something/Anything?, was issued as a single in 1973, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Hello It's Me" was the first song written by Todd Rundgren. Written in 1967 as a slow ballad about the breakup of a relationship, it was released in October 1968 as the B-side of his band Nazz's debut single "Open My Eyes", and included on the debut album Nazz (1968). Although released as a B-side, it was picked up in preference to the A-side by Boston radio station WMEX, where it rose to No. 1, and was subsequently picked up by other stations. It entered the Billboard chart in February 1969, peaking at number 71, and re-entered the charts the following January, this time peaking at number 66. In Canada, it ranked number 41 in March 1969, and number 58 in February 1970.
Rundgren's songs in this early phase of his career were heavily influenced by the work of Laura Nyro, but in a 2005 interview he revealed that the basic structure of the song was adapted from the introduction of a Jimmy Smith recording:
...the main influence for Hello It's Me was an eight bar intro that Jimmy Smith played on a recording of When Johnny Comes Marching Home. He had this whole sort of block chord thing that he did to set up the intro of the song. I tried to capture those changes, and those changes became what are the changes underneath Hello It's Me. I then had to come up with melody and words, but the changes are actually almost lifted literally from something that was, from Jimmy Smith's standpoint, a throwaway.

Rundgren recorded a more midtempo version of "Hello It's Me" for his 1972 solo album Something/Anything? It was released twice as a single, with the second issue in 1973 becoming Rundgren's only top ten pop hit, reaching No. 5 on the Hot 100. It also reached No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Say Less!
Love this song ❤️ Thanks 👍
Todd always gives me that homesick feeling for the 70s.
No kidding!! Homesick - great way to describe it. God I miss those days and music can transcend you right back to specific times in your life that will last forever. I truly wish I could go back and remain there. I don't need a cell phone or laptop, just simpler less stressful times.
@@tribzman3977 I’m with you 100% simple and good living, I’d go back in a heartbeat ✌️🇺🇸
Me too
Yes, exactly!
Agreed
Send me back to 1973, then break the time machine. Who wants to come with me?!
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I've always said that too. I want to go back so badly. Best decade of my life.
I'm with ya buddie.
Me too!if you find one ..hit me up!
ME, ME, PLEASE!!!
It was more fun being 20 in the 70’s than 70 in the 20’s 😂
Collarbutton...LOL...At 74 , I'll try to repeat that tomorrow .
that is so clever, great and funny!! 😭♥️
😊👍👍👍
Cool n groovy
20 years old in 73 for me can't agree with you more
His voice is sooooo comforting, clear, and beautiful. Listening in 2024
Listening since 1979. 😁
You should purchase a ticket to one of his 2024 concerts then!!!
Hello Fox,
How're you doing
Thanks for being a fan
It's nice meeting you here
I'm from Brazil and I discovered Todd Rundgreen's music thanks to RUclips, his music is timeless
@@victordias1840 "hello it's me". 🙏♥️
Still listening in 2024 we had the best music in our era 70's music will never be duplicated
I'm 64 and still discovering music from 70s that I haven't heard yet.
anos 80 foram melhores.
Can we go back to 1973? Who’s with me?
I sell all I have, even a kidney to jump on that wagon.
Let's Ride ✌️
I was 7 in 73, I’d still go back
No doubt my friend
Me please. I was 16 the start of working. having money, beer, girls, motorbikes, not relying on your parents and freedom
Oh my! Todd Rungren, whew! Fabulous song ! Who else remembers Midnight Special in 70s!
🙋🏼♀️
I remember 😊😊😊
missing Wolf man jack and the midnight hour.. cheers to all the great times and music of the 70s.. much better time than today.
I watched a lot of that...and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert also...
@@rodhester2166 you can say that again...and again
I was 12 or 13 when this song came out and it played constantly on the radio. Great memories of growing up in the 70’s! Ultimate freedom and there were no helicopter parents, every house on the block had kids there was always someone to hangout with and play ball, throw Oranges at cars, ride our mini bikes and Go carts. We were always outside building tree forts or getting into trouble of some sort.
Amen! Same childhood fun. Oranges at cars 😂🤣😂we did potatoes and wheelbarrows full of acorns thrown in handfuls. Toss the cell phone. Put on TR and go back to the 70s 🥰
Awe, I was 2 in ‘72 , but did get to grow up in 70’s & 80’s ! The best music & childhood ever❤
Amen
Yep you don't see kids like anymore thanks this heavy push for depopulation by our government and the WEF!!
Yes!
The sound of this on all the AM car radios....We boomers were so fortunate to grow up in the 60/70s!
Beautiful work of art that is truly timeless.
I feel sorry for the XYZ generations. Hope you kids figure out how to save life on earth. Good luck.
This Gen X'er is so happy to have been a kid in the 70's. My favorite decade for music for sure, but I also love the fashion. I can remember how exciting 1976 was with the bicentennial celebrations and how patriotic everyone was.
As an actual Gen Xer I loved the 70s music from my early childhood, but feel pretty fortunate to have been a teenager when New Wave was popular. It was the best time to be a teenager.
My mom got her first car with FM Stereo in '73, a Pontiac LeMans. What a night and day difference. Listened to the KKDJ rock station in Los Angeles. A couple years later I put a Pioneer KP500 in my '74 Mustang.
Sadly, no one thinks for themselves anymore. Too many sheep.
@@WonderfulWorldofAwesomenessYou’re my age! 56.
I would put my transistor radio under my pillow at age 14 waiting for this to come on 50 years ago. Such a lyrical/ musical masterpiece
All us 60-something’s grew up in the decade with the best music
Yes, we indeed did. I've tried to explain the 70s to some younger people, and it's just too hard. It was a truly amazing mix of music trying to find a niche, but because it couldn't is what made the decade so special. How do you explain having Black Sabbath, The Carpenters, Joe Cocker, John Denver, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles all in the same top 40?
Amen to that!!
Absolutely amen
Got that right? 👍
I grew up in Soviet Union without this kind of music, can you emagine
50 years ago. Crazy!
Todd Rundgren is a great talent! In 2023, I can't stop listening to this song! So good!!
I'm with you!
He has numerous really great hits like this, I was surprised when I went back and listened how many of his songs I recognized. Really talented!
Fo sho!
If I remember correctly side B of his Real Man album was all music with no vocals but it's been such a long time ago I don't know for sure.
@@Dan-fu8nb Wouldn't be surprised, very talented instrumentalist👍
My best friend for nearly 40 years passed away quickly and unexpectedly. Weeks afterwards I was woken out of a dead sleep hearing Todd R. Think of me. The noise the song in my sleep was so loud it woke me up. I was alone ,it was very quiet within the house. Like an earworm I heard in my mind , think of me. I then remembered the dream I just had and the loudness of the lyrics. I knew David had spoken to me. Telling me he's near anytime I want. Miss ya loads David lee.
Amo essa música
There are no coincidences.
Demons
Rip David
Incredible power our spirit loved ones can reach back into the hear and now and touch us like that.
The 70s....when a man could wear a butterfly on both of his eyes and no one said anything, just enjoyed the music.
They did that "Glam Rock Look" for a different reason. Back in the day if you did not sell albums you wouldn't be around long, so if they did a show, they wanted to be remembered, that outfit was sketched into peoples memories, so they bought the albums because they remembered the name, the outfits, the glam rockers, that why KISS did what they did. Its about EYES ON. Now-a-days with the internet people can become world famous in minutes. Different time. They were nit doing it to be feminine, or most weren't, save for a few like Boy George who really wasn't that good anyway.
Really? where i am if a man wore that he'd get the shit kicked out of him! and still applies to this day i'm pleased to say!
@@williamconnell6541 not much of a Rundgren fan I take it . But you must be that’s why you watched
@@williamconnell6541the hypocrisy though. You’d kick the 💩 outta someone dressed like that. But you’d listen their music still? That’s the kind of shit that annoys me about boomers.
@@MrRondonmon they dress like that because they liked how they looked. They weren’t all just “trying to sell records.” The look originated from the fact that a lot of those bands liked looking like that. It just happened to be a feminine look. It wasn’t a big deal except to people who hate it when men dress feminine, but that’s their problem. Also Boy George is great, always has been, and they can look however they want, it shouldn’t bother anyone.
And to think Mr. Rundgren played every musical instrument in this set ... amazing. 1973 makes it even more stellar., 50 years ago, today.
Wow
A man ahead of his time!
Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.
It’s the Brecker brothers on Sax and Trumpet.
@@duffypratt
I stand corrected. On “something/anything? a double album, he played all musical instruments on sides 1, 2, & 3, but not on the 4th, and not on the same side as Hello It’s Me.
Longtime fan of Todd Rundgren, since the 70's. Todd's music comforted me when I was a soldier far from home.
Same here brother.
Thank you for your service!
What an absolutely timeless, awesome song !
hat's because it's a recording of the famous original. Lip syncing supreme!
@@Mr.Blister1960 - the way the song volume fades at the end is just like the original recording ;)
My new favorite song bc it makes me cry every time thinking about my unrequeted love - how you say ? They guy who won't marry me. 😢😊❤
@@Kat.Evangeline Great song, great artist! Thx for teaching me a new word; 'unrequited' - but, I'm sorry for your sad feeling.
was he trans?
*I am so sick for the 70's again....but it's not to be, just memories of how it was....and never will be again.*
I take it that you are not an optimist.
I loved music of the 70s ann some favs of the 60s as well, but I am VERY optimist about the future. Today happens to be my birthday. I am timeless, but the years say 67.
Todd Rundgren, a real class act and one hell of a songwriter and performer. He raised Liv Tyler as his own child, even when it was determined not to be his biological child. Now, that's class!
👏👏🫶❤️👌😉
I did not know that.
Liv looks more like Todd's then Steven's anyway!!!
He probably had benefits
😉
@@SUGAR_XYLER
Gross 🤮,and INTERESTING 😉
I was a teenager when this song and " I'm Not in Love" by 10cc came out. Couldn't get enough of these two songs. An era when real music was made.
I was about 12 and I hated "I'm not in love" could never figure out why someone would want to write a song about that, I found it so annoying 😁. One of my all time favorites though "the things we do for love".
I was 9 and 11 ..I loved both of these songs.. ❤
Check out lemon twigs new album 'Everything Harmony' someone under their videos said it reminded them of Todd.
Yes! I also loved The Immigrant by Neil Sedaka.
10 cc's 'I'm Not In Love' could easily fit in with the 80's contemporary music. Timeless.
Way better than today's music!!!
2024 and it's still beautiful, timeless and better than anything out there now. Great memories, sad, happy..
The 70’s were no doubt peak American civilization.
You are 100% correct. I’ve thought this for years. I’m 65 and luckiest man alive growing up in 70s as a teenager
The 70s were my favorite decade for music.
Same
1970's was the best musical decade of all time. ❤👍
America feels like it peaked in the 70s
People were still present and musicians had to be able to play.
Completely agree
I call them the American Golden Years. willl never be better than that
It seemed like we were heading a positive direction in the late 1960's e. What happened?How did we end up here? Hopefully this election will be the big change.
Absolutely one of the most under-rated Musicians of our time! I just love his music!
Who underates him..?
Todd is a brilliant songwriter without a doubt.
Not that “word” again?? 🥱
I didn't know he played piano. He looks like he was part of glam rock.
@@Sacred_Fire performance art 🎭 for this particular show; nothing more nothing less.
It’s amazing how music is the ultimate time travel. It can transport you to a time and place and re-live moments of your life. Great music great era great memories.
It's all about frequency and hamony.❤
Best decades 70’s an 80’s let’s go back who coming with me
Bags are packed
There never will be music like this again 70,were some of best ever.Todd is a 70,s icon.love his voice so much.
Can we please go back to the 70s ❤️🎬🎹
So glad I grew up in the 70s. Great music like this fills my memories.
Yes everyone who came up in the 70, will always think back when hearing these songs
I was a miserable kid in the 70s, but strangely I think of that period of my life with longing when I hear music like this.
Me too…always bittersweet memories of this amazing time in my life.
I wonder if anyone will be as nostalgic for 2023 in 2073 as we are for 1973 now?
Of course!
not a chance. Who is going to be nostalgic for monotone chanting?
@@fidrat24I feel sorry for you
Doubtful. Music-wise, anyway. Speaking objectively, is today's popular music really evoking the wide range of emotion that the music of the 70's did? Hmm..have to admit, it's rather tough to be objective about it ;)
NO! LMAO
Oh my, I love this song. Breaks my heart a little every time I hear it. Such a talented musician. And who else could get away with performing as a baby owl!!!
Bearsville Records hated it and Todd laughed them off, he was their #1 in house producer, he produced Badfinger and Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell, amongst many others...he could do as he pleased, and he did, nobody was going to tell Todd what to do or how to dress, he's been doing it for 50 years thank goodness!
Elton John, Lady Gaga, several actually.
Me too😊
@@TwinSister1957
Elton yes , Gaga, yuck yuck. Gaga is a boot leg Madonna.
a
Todd Rundgen, musical genius!
I wish every city had a club for our generation to get together and listen to our generations music to dance, sing, converse, smile, share memories 😌. Music is my magic time machine. When I hear a song there is usually a good memory that goes with it. I'm retired now recently suffered a pulmonary embolism..God gave me a chance to continue living. I'm not done enjoying life yet.
That's a great idea
👍✨💜
What a great idea we need places like this just listening to our great music and sharing so many memories too✌🏼🎉
Yes...its a great idea..Could probably even get a govt grant to open place like that. It would be therapeutic for the people to reminisce.
Of all the songs I grew up listening to during this time (at 5 years old) this was and will always be my favorite from Todd Rundgren. Glad to have been a child of the 70s and 80s!!
I’ve been crying for 50 years, every time I hear this song…it takes me back to my first true love, the one that got away 😪💔
Me too. I still love him after 50 years.
I fully understand 💔
There’s always “that one”… still hurts the old heart after fifty years.
Might I be the only one who likes the way Todd takes a look at the camera?
Exactly!..I made a comment about how he interacts while singing...like he is living the lyrics in real time
I caught it too. Made my heart skip a beat
63 years old and reminiscing profusely. I was 13 years old and had a crush on a handsome teenage beauty. Lovin’ the memories.
Hello Sarah,
How're you doing
Thanks for being a fan of my musical craftiness,
It's nice meeting you here
This makes my heart ache. I wish I could live it again, this time with my eyes wide open
What a time to have been alive. I miss these days when life was simple and carefree.
My God his voice is beautiful
Simply beautiful
When he was young it surely was amazing,he still can bring it, but when he was in his 20's like here, simply beautiful, my favorite Musician and flower child that refused to grow up, salute!
@@autk beautiful creature in his 20’s
and seems sensitive , sweet
@@kristinm784 absolutely agree, and by all accounts and interviews, many on RUclips, he's a wonderful person, always has been, and what an amazing talent,.. and agree, in his 20's whoa, he was a beautiful creature inside and out.
@@autk ❤️❤️❤️
@@kristinm784 🖤🖤🖤
Another timeless classic. Another criminally underrated artist. This guy was amazing.
Great song, great singer
You can't remember 70s radio and not remember this hit playing day and night, capturing the vibe of that era.
One of my all-time favorite weirdos. Love every single song he sang.
I love him 💝
His voice is hauntingly beautiful 🤩 ❤
I remember the effect on my life when this masterpiece came out. Ever grateful to Todd. All the best to everyone. Be kind. Always. Thanks always Todd.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever and this is a mythical live version of it.
Yes, it is.
i agree it is a lovely song 😊👍
If he were to come on to the scene with those teeth today, he would be crucified on social media and everywhere, actually. What ever happened to people's individuality? Everyone looks the same these days, everything has to be perfect. It's a shame, I think he looks great just as he is.
If by mythical you mean it was not actually live then you are right. I think very little of this performance was live at all. Maybe some of the vocals.
Been listening to this great song for nearly 50 years
Timeless !
Really brings me back 🥲
I was 8 years old when this song came out. I have always LOVED this song, but I never knew what Todd Rundgren looked like until today. Glad he was himself way back then when it was so much more difficult to be yourself.
I never actually saw him either until watching this video. He must have been way ahead of his time 😊
When a song just gives you a feeling of longing...
Wow the 70s such a great decade,simple life,less stress,great music.
I think about this topic sometimes and how it relates to an episode of The Twilight Zone in which a guy in the Sixties longs for the simpler life of the Twenties or maybe it was an earlier time.
I think there was a lot of stress in the Seventies, but we only remember the good parts.
I was in my teens in the Seventies.
@@TighelanderII I think one reason people think of it as being less stressful was how our relationship with media was different. Nightly news, not a 24 hour cycle. A focus on nationalistic topics rather than world events. Music and entertainment being dolled out by fewer sources, so that there was a baseline of pop culture that most people knew and related to (of course there were always those who would seek out more sources). But it seems like when the structure of society was more simple and less individualistic that we look back at it as being less stressful. Course, I could always be wrong.
I was 15 in 1973, I still get goosebumps,much love!
A song that's been dedicated down through the years for sure.
Hearing this song transports me back to a much simpler time.
This song is timeless. Love it forever.
My friend, Dennis Taylor, who passed away a couple of years ago was a friend of Todd’s. He knew him for many many years, he got his grandson to enjoy Todd’s music. I worked with Dennis for 17 years at Hutton communications here is Dallas texas. He was always talking about each of the shows he went to Todd, he showed me pictures from a small music store that he met Todd at.
He is sorely missed by all of us who loved him
What a great story, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Todd, thank you Heavenly Father I got to experience these songs in my teens, the most formative years.
67 in 2024 with only months to live I can still feel my soul stir hearing this song and still thinking of a certain boy.
What a blessing. xoxo

Now this is music.
I love I even made a cover, check it out in my channel Master
Oh Yes!!!
Todd fans are a different breed. In a great way.
I was 15 yrs old when this song came out.. had my first boyfriend.. loved the 70❤
Fell in love with him in the 70's , no one does it better , years later still listening to him , tru genius!!
No puedo evitar tener nostalgia de los gloriosos años 70sese temon es el culpable que sienta esa dulce nostalgia se me vienen los recuerdos de aquellos años inolvidables que se que no volveran pero que quedarán en mi corazon
I'm a 70's baby and love and remember this song! Look how the styles have come back! Love living to see it. 😄
MM, I'm 63 year old man! what my adult daughters call me, but will for ever be 20...30 years old when ever Todd R is heard. Some tears running down, reminds me of those days, words with so much feelings and experiences. Peace!
I too am 63 and the memories flow through me whenever I hear this song.
He has a vulnerability about him as he is singing,looking like he really means what he is singing.. refreshing in a melancholy way...
A masterpiece. Touches the soul. Brings back so many memories as a young man, both happy and sad, thanks
Same here.
The music was great but the freaky costume added absolutely nothing to the performance. The money would have been much better spent on a dentist.
@@toobad9946Todd’s beautiful just the way he is; imperfect is better…
I love that I grew up in a time when artists could be homely with jacked up teeth and average bodies and the emphasis was on their talents and ability to play an actual instrument.
Here I am 58 years old crying to a kids brilliant song
One of the best songs ever written and produced. Timeless. Rundgren = genius.
And people think Gags is weird. Todd was doing this wild stuff in the early 70s. What a guy.
This is such an emotional song to me. It makes me believe in love. This multiinstrumental innovative and very creative gentleman has a heart of gold ! Very altruistic loving man who put hs money where his heart is when it come to professing TRUE LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE. Thank you for being part of our world Mister T.Rundgren
Wow! This song is 50 years old this year. I was 3 when this came out. Timeless!
Me tocó🍻🤘🚀🧌⛽
Me too!!
I was 8. Remember hearing this on the radio in the car on the way to school, and on road trips. Great tune, and musician!!
The first version was with his mid 1960's band Nazz. Much slower ruclips.net/video/LC1k5ISCCKE/видео.htmlsi=OLKM00j2J58jzfRa
This song is timeless. It's always been one of my favorites.
Todd is so talented! An amazing father and a great friend!
What can you say ? THIS song is the main reason there are so many Todd Rundgren fans. That and “I Saw the Light” - both from his ultra-classic album “Something?/ Anything”. First saw Todd live in Seattle in 1990, on his “Nearly Human” tour. He did not disappoint !
I liked "We gotta get you a woman"
"Izzat Love?" - only super extended edition.
Edit: Nevermind.
ruclips.net/video/pDk32bOuo5o/видео.html
What? No love for "We Gotta Get You A Woman"? I feel like that song was the inspiration for the Mike Damone character in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High".
@@platterjockey Rat, just follow my five point plan...
don't forget "Just One Victory"..
Oh yeah..
I was 13 when this came out and remember listening to this over and over. Good times.
I truly miss the 70's. The music, the times, but not necessarily the clothes. Ha!
I was 14.😀
@@dCaddyshk Good times and a great era. I miss it!!
I was 9😂
I was 3, remember listening to this in my dad's car radio✌@@winniejohnson5559
Everytime brings back the entire atmosphere of that part of 70s life, the people, the environment, the news, the sounds, the old phone apparatus, the coffee, even the smell of the rain and all, etc... my sincere apologies just reminiscing... automatically
No apologies necessary here! This is how I remember this time as well! Thanks for reminiscing with me! I am also a HUGE Todd fan! Especially, the “Something, Anything” album and “Think of Me” which was my first introduction to Todd’s music.
I agree no need to apologize, I love your comment. You captured the essence of the memory!
Perfectly said!
A great time that was so unique, I'm still living in that era!!
I don't know anyone who was born between 1958 to 1971 who isn't just a little "Hip" from being raised in that era, a lot of self discovery too, we're not cookie Cutter people!!
Wow, amazing talent and singer unforgettable part of history back them they were great singers and musicians
His production and arrangements are so good.
I was 14 years old when this masterpiece came out, and I loved it then and STILL today!! Blessings
Reminds me of when I was a little boy. Great memories. :)
"Seeing you, or seeing anything as much as I do you" - Awesome
Reminiscing is all I can do and then
Euphoria set in!
❤❤❤
Good old days
Something / Anything is an album that ages beautifully.
“Something Anything”, the costumes, the makeup, the colored hair, concerts at central park, this is the Todd R we all know and love.
I am James F JR... Todd plays every instrument on this song. He was so much more talented then people thought. Not only does he sing he is an amazing musician. This song always makes me cry. And long for my youth. And True Love. Thank You Todd. Happy New Year Everyone! God Bless You.
Not true. It’s from the 4th side of Something/Anything - the ‘live’ band side.
There are some amazing 1st call session musicians on this track.
Stu Woods - bass guitar
Robbie Kogale - guitar
Randy Brecker - trumpet
Michael Brecker - tenor sax
Barry Rogers - trombone
Sides 1-3 were all Todd
One of the best songs and artists in the whole wide world. !!!!
This is one of timeless songs. I wish I could go back
Tod and utopia, my first concert ! I have the ticket stub ! Someone threw a glow stick on stage, Tod picked it up, and put on the drum set. And later threw it ! It hit me in the chest ! Somebody grabbed it from my sister and threw it ! Broke my heart 💔
The 70’s was the best time to grow up in America. The song brings back so many childhood memories of my dad.
He really pushed the envelope. What a pioneer!
Where were you in the summer of 1972? A great song in a great time in America. Different people different era different time different styles different values different music different country different world, never to return again. Glad I lived it.
OMG! Thank God for the memories!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Aside from the brilliance of this song and Todd Rundgren’s singing, the mix and clarity of the recording is phenomenal. So much life and warmth in analog.
