    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.

      @Ernie I totally agree! I've always loved that guitar solo and the wink to "Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione (ua-cam.com/video/NDSBV0vTfTo/v-deo.html guitar solo starts around 5:20). I can't ever listen to this song just once...it's always gotta be a triple lol

    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.

      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!

    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.

    I'm crying... wonderfully nostalgic. When this song was released, I was a university student, enjoying my youth while wondering about the future. The 1980s was the best time for music.

    Qué grande Rick; una voz increible y esta canción una de las mejores de su repertorio. Quizá una de las mejores canciones POP de todos los tiempos. Genio entre los genios Rick...
