Description: Information Rick Astley's debut single, "Never Gonna Give You Up" contrasted the singer's expressive, soulful baritone with synthesized dance-club backing, and while the highly processed quality of the latter sometimes seemed to overwhelm the former (no easy task), the song became a wildly popular smash, winding up as the biggest hit single of 1987 in the U.K. and topping the U.S. charts in early 1988. The song was driven by a busy rhythm track and a synthesized string section strongly reminiscent of late-'70s disco productions, while Astley's distinctive voice boomed over the top. Perhaps the most memorable flourish on "Never Gonna Give You Up" is the way Astley handles the chorus, which alternates rapid-fire 16th notes with longer, off-the-beat triplets; his delivery is impeccably smooth, navigating the rhythmically shifting melody with ease. It's not difficult to see, in retrospect, why Astley eventually grew tired of the Stock, Aitken & Waterman production team's work; while the slick sheen doesn't exactly rob Astley of his personality, the layers of echo don't really do much to accentuate or humanize it, either. Still, the song does demonstrate that Astley has a flair for up-tempo dance tracks, and it's such a well-crafted piece of music that the partnership between singer and producers seems fruitful enough to overlook any shortcomings. lyric We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand * Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've know each other for so long Your heart's been aching But you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see (* repeat) give you up. give you up give you up, give you up never gonna give never gonna give, give you up never gonna give never gonna give, give you up I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand (* repeat 3 times) Share with friends

mustang73ar ::: Favorites segun pude leer en el backsatage de este video clip, hay cosas interesantes. por ejemplo, que de las dos chicas rubias que bailan sobre la tarima hay una que es un desastre bailando, porque ni sabe los pasos ni tampoco coordina con la otra. y luego el muchacho negrito de la bara, cortaron muchas tomas de el porque.. le robaba protagonismo al cantante por bailar tan bien!! de las cosas que uno se entera... no?? 07-07-29 17:26:21 _____________________________________________________
