Release date: 1987 

This was the biggest single in the UK in 1987. It topped the charts throughout Europe. The music video for the song has become the basis for the "Rickrolling" Internet meme. In 2008, Rick Astley won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Act Ever with the song, as a result of collective voting from thousands of people on the internet, due to the popular phenomenon of Rickrolling.

Rick Astley worked as a tape operator in Stock, Aitken and Waterman's studio for two years, singing on recordings for other singers, learning the trade and famously making the tea, before the production trio wrote and produced this song for him, which became Astley's first hit.

Album: Whenever You Need Somebody
