"People tend to forget just how big Rick Astley actually
was" - Pete Waterman.
In 1987, the world was greeted by a new vocal talent.
Shocked by the powerful, mature soulful voice of a 21 year
old, the UK obliged by sending his debut single "Never
Gonna Give You Up" to the top of the charts within 2 weeks
of its release. The artist was, of course, Rick Astley. The
rest of the world soon followed suit with "Never Gonna Give
You Up" reaching Number 1 in 16 other countries including
most of Europe, Japan, United States and Australia. The
following 2 years saw Rick continue to dominate the charts
around the globe. In the UK, Rick was in the Top 40 every
week for the first 6 months of his career.
Rick Astley was born on February 6, 1966 in the North of
England and More...
If a imagine a screenplay about my life, a lot of Astley's music take part of it. During my teenage years i enjoyed his music. I began to study English language and i loved to practice with his fluent and lovely voice. Until these days i love to remember my first love-pain with "behind ur smile" and very important moments in my growing epoque with the others songs.

------ About artist/band Rick Astley
The music of Rick Astley always makes me think "Wow I was this grade and this is what we wore during that era." Listening to his songs brings a great feeling of nostalgia. Can't wait for Rick to release new material; whenever he's ready that is... I just love your voice Rick. Waiting in anticipation.

------ About artist/band Rick Astley
As one of Rick's older fans, like so many people who first heard his wonderful voice, I became enchanted by it too.. It's my sincere hope that he not only wins MTV's 'Best Act Ever' award but that in doing so it might push him to go back into the studio.. Not many people are born with such a god-given talent like his, I really think he could have been one of the greatest pop singers ever, if he had continued to sing.. But I must respect he had good reasons for not doing so.. I wish him all the best and hope, someday, to hear his voice coming through the radio with brand new songs..
I just thought it was ironic that both Rick and I share the same last name, as well as the same birthday, Feb 6th. although Rick was born in 1966 and I was born in 1968 it seems very strange we would share so much in common..:)

------ About the song Never Gonna Give You Up performed by Rick Astley
I'm just kidding. Personally, I really love the song. I feel that Astley's voice compliments the background music well. It almost sounds like a Starship song, but-because it's Astley singing-it's just a little away from being called that.
really glad to hear some of best vocals from the eighties your song bring back alot of good memories. Your vocal remind me of the greats like elvis presley barry white lou rawls. I wish and hope renewed sucess for you and in the future
In my eyes, this is one of his best songs, the other is 'Together Forever'. I think Rick Astley's voice is perfect for the songs, the deepness of it is perfect with the beat.
I have been trying for a long time to find our wedding song I need to have it for my wedding collection.

------ About the song Modern girl performed by Rick Astley
Modern girl is one of 80's pop star's Rick Astley's earliest songs, taken from the poorly recieved film ''Knights and emeralds'' which starred Warren Mitchell, the track is clearly a stock/ aitken/ waterman classic although it was never released in the UK as a single, some pop scientists have claimed this would have been a massive UK hit.
In the duration of the track (3.35) I found Rick's vocals to be calm though sometimes strained, although some may say he always sang like this I still find that his later hits (cry for help, Hopelessly) his very best work.
All in all modern girl is a classic 80's track.
