"I've Done Everything for You" is a song written and performed by Sammy Hagar, and released as a single in 1978. A version by Rick Springfield in 1981 became a top 10 hit in the US. In addition to recorded versions by Hagar and Springfield, the song has been performed and recorded by numerous bands, including Buckcherry.[1]
"I've Done Everything for You" was a staple of Sammy Hagar's live performances as early as 1977. A live version of the song (running time: 3:35) appeared on the 1978 live album All Night Long (Loud & Clear in the United Kingdom in 1979) and was released as a single (on Capitol P4596 b/w "Someone Out There"). The single did not chart in the US, but did chart in the UK, reaching the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart at No. 36 in 1980.[2] In 1979, a studio version was released as a B-side to the non-album single of "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" (a cover of the Otis Redding hit). This studio version was released on LP on the 1982 greatest hits album Rematch following the success of the Rick Springfield version, although Australian pressings of Hagar's 1980 album Danger Zone featured it as a bonus track closing side one.
