Love SAW. Classic! This could be the true root of the "oh-oh-oh" in Kylie's "Better the Devil..."?

this a classic shame about the rest

@Applemask I was under the impression that it was a sequenced bassline for "Never gonna give you up", but the similarities between the basslines of "Never gonna give you up" and Colonel Abram's "trapped" are remarkable.

Especially since Waterman bagged sampling other people's music (read HIS music) in a music magazine at the time. Which is odd, since roadblock has samples from other people's music as well...

@PaulyStClar The bassline on Never Gonna Give You Up was sampled from a contemporary house track by Colonel Abrams.

@PrAnG2000 that IS kinda surprising....I wouldn't use words like "funky" or "soulful" to describe the SAW sound, though they've made more hits than anyone can count.

I was good friends of Pete until he moved away from near where I lived and I got married.

You gotta remember that Pete Waterman was a soulhead. In an interview years back he stated that his favourite singer was Marvin Gaye.

@00rr1 You're trolling right? You do realise they wrote Rick Astley's songs - so it's note really stealing is it?

Another cool catchy 80s track !
