Todd Harry Rundgren (born June 22, 1948) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer.[1] Two of his best-known songs are "I Saw The Light" and "Hello It's Me".

Apple Records hired Rundgren to produce an album, Straight Up, for the band Badfinger during 1971. Badfinger had not heard of Rundgren and did not know his music, until they bought copies of some of his records. They liked what they heard, and when Rundgren met the band, they got along well, and worked well together.

In the early 2000s, Rundgren replaced Ric Ocasek as bandleader of The Cars, when they reunited to tour.

Actress Liv Tyler used to believe that Rundgren was her father.[2]
