This song was a classic when it first came out in the 60s( I think!), but this version by Rick Astley. He was a really good singer, he should have been still on the scene, instead of being replaced with these untalented, whorish (M & F), foul-mouthed, drugged out fools that are playing on the radio today.
oooh i'm 17 years old (from czech republic) and i love rick's music, his lyrics about love, relationship etc., his boy next door look. his my fav artist. in my country is rick unknown
i remember playing pool at my best mates place when i heard this song 4 the 1st time, john faga your da man we were only 13 too lol m.a.g.s 4 life bro
His songs should have been in so many 80's movies. He should have done a live performance in the Karate Kid when there was the live band (I forget when, I think it was during their date). Also, put your mouse on :54, and press 1 (so rick says I'm gonna) and then click on :54 (your mouse should be on :54 before starting). Have fun.
The lady background singer with the flowing hair (partially obscuring her face) at the 2:37 mark - is that Mae McKenna, who sang on the album this song came from?

I remember hearing this song repeadly the year it came out.. I was junior in high school and every time it played on the radio, I tried to sing it but the only words I would remember was " maybe tomorrow." LOL..
When this came out every song I think except two were in the top ten. They were fresh and his style of music had not been copied around the world, in triplicate x 10.
He united many genres of music and back then there many clicks, subcultures, alienation and misconceptions of others.
This reminds me so much of my 1st love who used to sing this to me.....and after 22 years of being apart have found each other again :D :D :D I love you Carl xxxxxxxxxxx <3 <3
I can remember being in basic training when the song came out. I was in the mess hall, which is pretty much the only place you can relax for a few minutes during basic training, & and this song came on. It was a great reminder that the real world was still turning while I was in there
@earrow , your post really touched my heart; see, I was in basic training too, in Argentina. I'm still in Air Force, and I will never forget that spirit of that time.
When I was a young girl I used to listen to this song and wish I had a guy that felt like this about me .:swoon:. this is when I learned what a love song was :)
I love this song. I have finally gotten over a relationship that ended 7 years ago. I had hope that my ex and I would get back together again and hoped in vain. I have finally moved on with my life and will find someone else again.
This song is exactly like my last relationship. I was hurt whenever my boyfriend would flirt with other guys and sometimes seem like he doesn't care about me. I wanted to break up with him but I couldn't do it, I was weak. But I finally did it and now I'm a happy guy again! :)
I think it was brilliant releasing this single in America. This was definitely different than a lot of Stock, Aitken, & Waterman's other songs as they tended to be rather lightweight and formulaic. This definitely solidified Astley's popularity in the States at the time. I wonder how Britain and Europe as a whole would have responded to this had this been released as a single there.
Rick released the pop standard When I Fall In Love in UK/Europe, which certainly had the same effect as It Would Take A Strong Strong Man had in the US. When I Fall In Love did very well for a standard reaching #2 in Britain, #5 in Australia, and #7 in Germany. It also did very well in Japan.
It would take a strong strong person to NOT like this song. It just makes ya wanna sing along at the top of your lungs. Great lyrics. They dont make songs like this anymore. I miss the 80's!! They need to come back and fast. :-)
this song is heartbreaking, but makes me dance to the beat at the same time. Rick Astley is also very good in singing classic songs. He's really great! Thanks a lot for posting!!!

This guy was excellent...I miss the well-groomed singers like this (i.e. Robert Palmer, a fellow brit with a different style but also elegant and nattily dressed) who looked like professionals, not just professional musicians. I agree with a previous poster - his best song, in my opinion, teamed with an excellent arrangement.
My feet can`t stop dancing even if I`m sitting still:-DDD What a voice!! I was sold in the 80`s - love your voice,Rick! Thank you for still sharing your unique voice with us:-DDDD!!!
