  • Singer-songwriter Rick Astley became a pop sensation 35 years ago with his debut hit single "Never Gonna Give You Up," which has taken on a life of its own as a viral internet prank known as "Rickrolling." Astley talks with Anthony Mason about his special relationship with the song, touring with New Kids on the Block and enjoying a remarkable career resurgence.

I'm surprised this interview failed to mention the producers behind the success of Rick Astley, which is the power house trio, Stock, Aitken, and Waterman (SAW). They had a huge hand in Rick's success worldwide. SAW spawned a lot of great hits back in the 80s for other artists as well, such as Bananarama, Donna Summer, Kylie Minogue to name a few.

    Never gonna give you up is catchy, Together Forever is bubbly pop, but unlistenable for me, but Cry for Help is legit good and still holds to this day.
    Astley seems like a good dude, I wish him well.

    Love his record in 1987 right in San Francisco living on Haight Ashbury!

    I love that song, and the video, and Rick Astley's dancing, and facial expressions! Clive Clarke had some great moves too!
