He went solo on the basis of this success, putting out well-received records that blended pop sensibilities with Hard Rock and scoring hit singles with songs like "The Stroke" and "Emotions In Motion". For a while, he was one of the most popular solo rockers in America.Ironically enough, Squier's biggest hit ended up harming his career quite badly. "Rock Me Tonite" was accompanied by a music video directed by Kenny Ortega, which infamously featured Squier dancing about in a pink tank-top. As one might expect, it undermined the tough guy image he'd worked hard to cultivate, and alienated a lot of his fans. His career stalled, and although he remained moderately successful throughout the eighties, he never quite recovered the fame he'd experienced at the start of the decade.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Since then, he's exited and returned to the music industry and played with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band.
