And Furthermore - Your YouTube Channel shows your age to be 27. Which would have made you 6 years old when "you wrote" this song, as you claim to have. What's your problem, anyway ? Why would you lie about something like this ? For attention ? I can't WAIT to see how you're going to prove your case, especially in court. See you in court, pal - better get a good lawyer ! ;-)

Furthermore - if you're receiving income from "Never Knew Love" then I'm glad I found you, as I now know who to refer my attorney to ! Thanks !

To smithjamesthomas : Actually, you're a liar. I am the co-writer of "Never Knew Love", which I co-wrote under the pseudonym of John Paul. My co-writer was Derek Bordeaux, with whom I was in a band with at the time. I have the copyright form for the song, the RCA contract with Rick Astley, and receive BMI royalties from it to this day. I have all of these things in my possession - what do you have ? Shall I hire an attorney to settle this ? Produce your proof, liar !

@JohnnyFoster Actually I'm the author of this song. I've written a number of tunes for Rick over the years. I actually consider this to be one of the not so great ones, though I've still got an income from it. In any case, please don't lay claim to something that isn't yours.

Thanks msherman - this recording is pretty lo-fi, for some reason. The original on the CD has much better fidelity. Not sure why it sounds so muffled. Silly video, IMO - the circus / clown thing was a strange choice. Rick tossing his hair around also seems very contrived. It's as though he's trying to say "Look everyone - my hair is long now ! Isn't my "new" image cool ?"... Again - funny choices people make in the name of fashion... :-)

Rick is a SOUL singer, Johnny Foster laid a good track here for him.
