[@mr.balloffur]

He only had one hit in the states and another one people may recognize but that's it....

[@ellap1313]

He had more than one at the time. It’s just one that’s famous now.

[@DG-zm1gg]

@Mr. Ballofur You are SO WRONG!

[@bsquared4604]

Never Gonna Give You Up #1 1987, Together Forever #1 1988, It Would Take a Strong Strong Man #10 1988, She Wants to Dance With Me #6 1988. Cry For Help #7 1991. 5 Top 10 Billboard Hits in 4 years. So you're wrong.

[@mr.balloffur]

@@bsquared4604 Give me a break. Everyone only knows him for that ONE song, maybe Together Forever but that's certainly IT. It's not a matter what he did at the time (since 1988) it's what they remember him for now 🤣

[@deannamarie3746]
