  • Singer-songwriter Rick Astley became a pop sensation 35 years ago with his debut hit single "Never Gonna Give You Up," which has taken on a life of its own as a viral internet prank known as "Rickrolling." Astley talks with Anthony Mason about his special relationship with the song, touring with New Kids on the Block and enjoying a remarkable career resurgence.

    Glad to have lived my teens during Rick Astley debut album, which spawned a handful of great hits. I'm surprised this interview failed to mention the producers behind the success of Rick Astley, which is the power house trio, Stock, Aitken, and Waterman (SAW). They had a huge hand in Rick's success worldwide. SAW spawned a lot of great hits back in the 80s for other artists as well, such as Bananarama, Donna Summer, Kylie Minogue to name a few.

    he seems so nice--I had one of his CD's back in the day and many an afternoon, stuck in traffic going home from work, I would sing along to Rick Astley!

    Anthony Mason is the best. He knows his music. Rick Astley looks great
