第一次听到他的歌是毛毛从学校拷的磁带,里克的歌充满节奏性和活泼向上的精神。也是从他的歌开始,我去了解那时候的欧美歌手,如肯尼.罗杰斯、陶丽.帕登和琳达.罗斯苔特等......
1966年2月6日出生于英格兰的沃瑞屯的里克·阿斯特利(Rick Astley),84年开始涉入歌坛并在骚灵乐队FBI作为其主唱,他也曾在GiveWay的地方性乐队的担任鼓手。直到1985年他被著名制作人Pete Wate-rman推荐到Waterman的PWL公司发展两年后,开始大放异彩。
1987年里克·阿斯特利凭藉一首《Never Gonna Give You Up》(永不放弃你)取得巨大成功。在短短的几个月里,它在全英排行榜上连创佳绩。随后进军美国,也同样获得成功。为了扩大知名度,同时为新曲作宣传,Rick Astley进行了世界巡回演出并红极一时。 1988年,Rick Astley的第二首单曲《When Ever You Need Somebody》(每当你需要时)同时进入了7个国家的排行榜,并且位居榜首。接着他又推出了同名专辑,也获得好成绩,6周内销量超出了100万张。同年Rick Astley的两首单曲《Togeth-er Foever》(永远在一起)和《当我坠入爱河》在英国排行榜中闯入前二名。 1989年Rick Astley的《她想和我跳舞》进入美国排行榜前10名。经过一年多的调整与准备,Rick Astl-ey于1991年推出专辑《自由自在》,又创佳绩。
《NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
》
Never,never
gonna,never...
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(CHORUS:)
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you
down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say
goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say
it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're too blind to see (CHORUS
X2) (Ooh give you up) (Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you
up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you
up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say
it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
