I've been spinning vinyl since 1982, and when Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" came up in my record pool, I copped doubles (2 copies). I would mix it (what they call a "Mash Up" nowadays) with the instrumental versions of other singles that had BPM's at 100-112. The brothers in my posse would bug! Anyway, dude had style, he had the strong, rich-sounding pipes, and you couldn't front like he sucked. No autotune, tone deaf vocalist fo sho. The kid was down! The chicks dug that shit! Props, from a lifelong B-Boy!!! RIIICK you was ILL and didn't even know it!!!
