Never Gonna Give You Up is a gem that comed from the other side of the pond. PWL also called The Hit Factory was the label that produced, composed and wrote an incredible amount of hits since about 1985 and the stars that were scouted dominated British culture immensely during those years. Number ones and top 5 hits continued to make leople happy and dance. Rick Astley, Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Sonia and also Donna Summer, famous for her disco sensitivities of the recent past, This Time I Know It's For Real was a classic belter that SAW or Stock, Aitken and Waterman, the three musical producers behind the label that defined England during the years of optimism and bappiness when we swooned and gossipped about the marriage of Charles and Diana, giggled watching Kylie's perm in Neighbours and admired Ryan Giggs for scoring a good old soccer match that we watched and that unified the Brits as much as Terry Wogan Noel Gallagher, Eastenders, Jo Whiley, Steps, George Michael, lager, pubs, AbFab, and the ultimate survivor of the one hit wonder, Kylie. She has just released the best album of 2024, it is called Tension. I think I know the score! π
Never gonna give you up is one of the biggest hits of tbe 80's. Stock, Aitken and Waterman used electronic effects in vocals, backing tracks and real emotions were invoked by them since their music was so infectious, the melodies of melancholy were picked up on every radio, TV and bought at every outlet of HMV, since the United Kingdom music industry was an industry that knew how to hype, and the British top 40, aired on Sunday Night on BBC Radio 1 Pioneers of the vocal high tempo ectronic dance genre, Rick Astley was a legend for as long as his reckrding career lasted, and will remain that for as long as he lives. Better, Best Forgotten? Maybe not. Let us play it once more today, and may god save the king! π¬π§
