Rick Astley - It Would Take a Strong Strong Man (Official HD Video)

[@georgina1921]

One of the most incredible but most underrated voices of our times. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@Arekushisukun]

Like he is súper famous

[@lorenzothehandaforlifeplan435]

Decades have passed yet the song remains timeless.

[@eggy1962]

He sang it when i saw him last Feb in Cardiff

[@lolabelle4959]

Wow what a voice for a 23 yr old. Talent beyond his years!

This song was #1 only in Canada. And we're gosh darn proud of that. Good man and a great singer.

[@Ricksterny1]

Only Never Gonna Give You Up and Together Forever made it to #1 In Canada\USA

[@jjayflash]

Man nobody writes and sings lyrics like these anymore.

[@gregmeyer1805]

They're too busy rapping about their vaginas to even pay attention to real music.

[@JonLove1975]

Ain't that the truth!

[@nosman069]

God gave this man one of the best voices in music history. Please give thanks to God and Jesus for your gift Rick.

I truly believe in my heart that "It Would Take a Strong, Strong Man" was the classiest single record released in the 80s. That vocal performance coupled with that amazing guitar bit after the bridge and those backing vocals. An all-around flawless recording.

[@RocStarr913]

It’s a wonder it was Astley’s American distributor that saw its potential as a single.

[@m8852]

@@RocStarr913 And strangely (at least to me), it was released as a single only in the US and Canada. Also interesting to me that no other artists have recorded their own version since then.

[@dlee2033]

@Ernie I totally agree! I've always loved that guitar solo and the wink to "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHW2c4lmq7mZitE guitar solo starts around 5:20). I can't ever listen to this song just once...it's always gotta be a triple lol

@@ronrossmore211 It reached No.10 on the Hot 100 and No.1 on the Adult Contemporary so no flop. Sorry!

[@elbichito24]

It was the year 1988-1989 ... I really love this song. It reminds me of my childhood, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my aunts, my house, my dog, family parties on Saturday nights, and Sunday meals. They were such happy days when my only concern was to paint my drawings without getting out of line. Thank you very much Mr. Astley for making my childhood such happy days.

[@merrybluegirl8930]

I so love this comment. Me too. I remember my life when this song came out. Everything about it. Where I worked, going out, listening to the radio in my car at night. Such happy, sweet memories of a younger me.💙

[@spendingtimetogether8428]

I'm sure your nice family had a lot to do with that, and Rick was the cherry on top. Amazing how some songs can evoke such memories.👍❤

[@janinekloppers4937]

True story. We all have some great memories, thanks to Rick Astley.

[@user-jv9is7iw2t]

I am apparently your age. My 7th grade year was 88/89 and it's all still so meaningful to me. I absolutely love the way you worded your message. It just strikes a chord in me, there is nothing like this kind of song, filled with so much "yesteryear". Nostalgia runs high when these type of songs play. I look-back upon that time period so fondly, and I'm glad to be Generation X. Very glad to have grown up in that time period. Thank you for a great comment!

[@RoughRider757]

Same here. Rick's music definitely makes me think about the CRAZY fun 1980s.

[@DannyintheSpirit]

This sounds like a Motown song recorded in the late 80s by a young man from England with a soulful voice.

[@mullinsjm1]

Songs like this remind me of how much I miss the 80s

[@jakeboado4370]

lets go back to the 80's❤️😛😸😔🙆🦜

[@fabriziovpp]

This is literally the best underrated song ever

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

I so agree with you.

[@trinippl1]

FOR REAAALLLLLL

[@markverzosa7850]

You said it right.😊

[@_chinmoku]

The fact my 8 year old son is bobbing his head to this song right now, made me smile so much!!

[@JavierMartinez-dk9qf]

[@DanielSantos-nz7ci]

Definitely his best song ever! Both the melody and the harmony freaking thrill me... and as for his voice in this song ... no comments needed. Outstanding song!

[@willyhwang1059]

100% agreed. It's my favourite.

[@-.Steven]

Never get tired of listening to this song! God bless Rick Astley! One of the greatest voices ever!!

[@janicejackson884]

I love this song. I have no idea how I missed this song until today when Rick Astley was on Kelly Clarkson's show. I just played it about 20 times. This is one of my all-time favorite songs already.

[@anngossage]

Same here!

[@Ricksterny1]

Rick should do more ballads like this. It matches his styles

[@tis400]

An underrated song and an underrated singer. Love the two girls and thier backing vocals.

[@mikeycrist5086]

How could "Never Gonna Give You Up" have a billion views, "Together Forever" have 136 million, and this gem have less than 500,000? Of all his songs this was the best!

[@Speedrunner0218]

The first one was mainly due to the Rick roll meme

[@Its_Jimmy_Time]

@@Speedrunner0218 it was also in just dance

[@gregmeyer1805]

I think it's his best song but it's not his most popular, hence the astronomical views of Never Gonna Give You Up.

[@Caldinovin]

It should be a crime to have a song this good be this underrated.

[@roza.D.]

I agree

[@Caldinovin]

@@roza.D. Glad you agree! :)

[@kap0928]

Best song ever by Rick, loved it back then and still play it on my all time favourites. Brilliant performer and one of the best uk male singers up there with George Michael , Ed Sherran,

One of the best songs of the 80's. Rick is such an underrated singer. Oh and, BTW that's Boy George singing back up.

[@EddieTorres-nb6km]

I love this song 🎵

[@timetraveltvniles7650]

Rick is so underrated, except Never Gonna Give You Up, that song gets the recondition it deserves.

[@mikekaraoke]

How when all of his songs still play on radio, and his albums still sell and does sold out tours!

[@Joevenon]

*I'm pretty sure this is not HD, Rick. Thanks for the Rick Roll*

Absolutely blessed

[@callaco3176]

Joeveno That’s because it’s upscaled, this video is obviously from the 80s/90s, there’s only so much upscaling can do.

[@GABE_is_here]

@@callaco3176 i'm pretty sure they still keep the master recording (don't know what to call it) somewhere. they can scan the film in 4K like what they did to Dead or Alive video

Surprises me this doesn’t have more views. Always loved this song…hell this whole album!

On vacation from work and listening to some old freestyle. Rick is an amazing singer and we hope he is doing well. No one had such a strong voice like his.

[@kkennedy3466]

More proof of what a fantastic decade this was for music. Nothing today is remotely comparable to talent like this and most garbage today will fade while songs like this will always be with us.

[@patrickmichael3384]

Rick’s best song is this! Thanks for doing this one, Mr. Astley!

I was 16 when this song came out and I bought this album too. I met my very first love and she broke my heart. This song was played on repeat on my Walkman...bitter sweet memory!

[@FreeSpirit47]

In his songs, he sounds sincere. That's a huge part of his appeal. Many guys will talk the talk never walk the walk. Just saying everything never meaning anything. The world needs more sincerity.

I believe that Rick Ashley should also be appreciated as a musician, not just a huge meme. Wonder why Rick Astley is so underrated without his signature hit.

[@JonathanMontero]

It's almost a miracle. My brother sent me a piece of this song in a WhatsApp message, I used to listen to this song being a teenager/child. Tears came from my eyes with all the sudden memories. I saw my wife went to her, kissed her, hugged her. I had dedicated this song to her long before meeting her. Thank Rick, I am so thankful for this. God bless you even more.

I love this song. I saw the story where the writers composed this song to appeal to the US audience. It’s amazing what lengths the UK songwriters and producers went to just to captivate us out here. Still, I’m grateful for this. It’s probably my favorite song of his. Then Together Forever is my next favorite after this one.
