You have to take your hat off to Rick. Survived the ups and downs of a pop career. Stayed out of trouble and now see him deliver a cool track like this to the now generation who love him. Well done Mr Astley.

Full respect to Rick Astley. Saw him a few years ago at the Isle of Wight festival, and he did a great cover of AC/DC's Highway to Hell. Good luck to him and Blossoms for their upcoming Smiths tribute.

@adamcharney2 жыл бұрын
I try to explain this to my very younger housemate in her 30's. This video makes my year, as in the 80's, Astley was a representative of cheesy pop music. Therefore, seeing him cover The Smiths is the equivalent of Beyonce covering Siouxsie and the Banshees. It's such a break-through that warms my heart.

I think Morrissey actually could do a decent cover of Rick tbh. If you listen to his solo work he improved his vocal range and abilities quite a bit post Smiths and he has done a few covers himself.
