Rick Astley
Rick Astley, perhaps more than any other ’80s star, is indelibly associated with a single hit. Despite his undeniable vocal talent, the British performer will forever be remembered for his song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Although his track “Together Forever” also charted well, it essentially mirrored the formula of his original hit.
Astley continued to create music up to the present day, but “Never Gonna Give You Up” took on a life of its own, becoming a source of countless memes during the social media era.
