On this day, January 28, 1985, David Lee Roth released his debut solo recording, Crazy From the Heart (EP). This energetic EP marked Roth's first venture outside of Van Halen and showcased his signature charisma and larger-than-life personality.

The EP reached #15 on the Billboard 200 charts, fueled by the success of its standout track, California Girls, a spirited cover of The Beach Boys’ classic. The accompanying music video, featuring Roth’s over-the-top antics, became a favorite on MTV and set the tone for his solo career.

Fun Fact: Crazy From the Heart also included covers like Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody, which further highlighted Roth’s knack for blending humor and showmanship with his undeniable vocal talent.
