I first heard that song the day I went to get my driver’s permit. I was turned away because of my disability. On the way home, with me in tears, “Don’t Cry Out Loud” by Melissa Manchester, followed immediately by “Cry for Help” by Rick Astley came on the radio, one after the other. My dad looks at me, gives me a hug, and says, “Well, that makes it hard to know what to do, huh?” I laughed and cried at the same time.
That reminds me of the time I heard Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" after Boyz II Men's "On Bended Knee" on the radio. The DJ must've done that on purpose. lol
There was a song from Joey McIntyre called 'Stay The Same" that had a similar vibe, and also ended with some church. It was 1999, so Jay and Amber may be old enough to vaguely remember it.
Rick Astley is not given the praise he deserves. Everybody know "Never Gonna Give You Up" but his library his awesome. Im glad that he is now getting back on scene and the youth of today are appreciating him .... ❤❤
And he never, ever, felt fake to me either. Always a very, genuine guy. And seems to still be, to this day. He really should have had a much, much, greater career. He really should have. My Best. Out.
I remember when I first heard this...I thought "this is Rick Astley???" After all those uptempo dance hits....this was quite a change! And, when the choir came in....I got goosebumps. And I just did again while I was watching it. Thanks for listening to it Jay and Amber!
The brilliant Andraé Crouch Choir, the Disciples provided backing vocals, such a great song. They were also on tracks with Madonna and Michael Jackson. I'm glad to see Rick still being found and enjoyed for his music and not just an internet meme, truly a great singer.
This single was Rick's transition from the 80s to the 90s. While "Cry for Help" was a top ten hit, Rick largely disappeared for twenty years. Pop music can be cruel. What a vocalist!
Cruel! Brutally savage does not even, properly, describe it. How many promising and exceptional careers were ruined once pop turned bloody, rap and hip-hop. Now, I have no words any longer, for how insanely, low modern, current, pop has sunk in the past nearly, 30 odd, years. I've been railing about it for nearly that long. Rick is a shinning, SUPER STAR, compared to most of the gutter trash of today. Such a sad, utterly, iffed up, world we live in. It really is. Glad to know he's still, performing and drawing crowds though. God Bless Him. My Best. Out.
He chose to drop out of the music business to live a normal life with his family. He made a successful comeback about a decade ago. He hasn't had radio hits, but he's still out there performing and has had a few new releases that are quite good.
@@davedave8602 : Because sadly, if it is not the hip-hop crap of today, the mainstream radio stations won't play it. This is something I bitch about endlessly, regarding the insane, variety of pop music we had in the 80s, 70s and 80s as well, which today, no one seems to want to bother with, and it baffles and infuriates me to no end, because if you happen to NOT, be into rap and hip-hop you have nothing, current, to listen to, unless you hunt around for it insanely, and that simply, is not how it should be. Correct? My Best. Out.
Rick is an old soul, he’s born same month and year as myself. I grew up listening to Rick as his height 1987. His voice is so rich and mature. Agree with everything you have said love this version with choir amazing
By far, his best song. Stepping out from behind the bubble-gum pop world and showing his true talent. Blue-eyed soul at its very best! And such a powerful message of being there for someone who needs a shoulder...10 out of 10.
As a "forgotten man of pop", this was a wake up call to recognise and appreciate a great vocalist of any era. Similarly, another vocalist who drifted away from the "mainstream" was Joe Cocker. He crashed on to the scene with "A litte help from my friends in the late 60s and teamed up with Jennifer Warnes in the 80s with "Up where we belong" but my lasting final impression was a powerful song called "Fire It Up" in 2012 just 2 years before his death. Check it out - you won't be disappointed.
they thought about it with “never gonna give you up”, but it wasn't until “ain't too proud to beg” that they let him in. this song? they let him stay 🤍
This song, and "She wants to dance with Me" are my favorite songs from him. You should also check out another slow jam from Mr. Astley: "It would take a strong, strong Man." My mother loved that one when I was a kid.
You know, for those of us who lived through these times, whenever I hear something like this, it feels so, insanely, strange. I cannot speak for your mom but I know for myself, I am still, at the age I was then on the inside. I'm not one of the grannies but one of the youth still, on the inside. So when I read something like; my mom liked, for someone who was big when I was young, it feels so strange, indeed. New became old so damn, fast. Too damn, fast. My Best. Out.
One of my favorites by Rick. It marked a transition in his sound, which was dance-pop. This one truly showcases his vocal abilities /range. We see it in his signature dance tunes, but this one truly allows him to shine. Great singer.
This is hands down my fav rick astley song. A fantastic use of his amazingly strong and sweet voice with a fantastic message. As well as being a musically beautiful composition. The end is so satisfying. Thanks for sharing this wonderful song
My favorite song of his! It was co-written by Rob Fisher of the early 80’s band “Naked Eyes”! They had two popular songs on MTV back then, “Always Something There to Remind Me” and “Promises Promises”. I think y’all would enjoy both if you haven’t already. Mr. Fisher was also half of the band Climie Fisher in the late 80’s and they had a song called “Love Changes Everything” that was popular then.
Omg I'm so glad you finally reacted to this!! I suggested it a few times in the past. Rick's voice is amazing and in this just shows it off even more! The Choir that comes in later just lifts him up so wonderfully in this. And gosh, love Rick's longer fluffy hairstyle vibe too.😁 I knew once the Choir came in and backed RA up, y'all would get your minds blown lol!❤😊
This is a powerful and moving song, not a typical upbeat song, serious in message. His voice resonates with emotion and compassion. The gospel back up singers are awesome. A big hit in 1991
Rick Astley has a lot of really good songs including just in the last few years. Last year's album went to #1 in the UK. His soulful voice has only gotten better. Some of my favorites of his newer music are "Keep Singing", "Take Me Back To Your Place", "Try", "Coming Home Tonight", "Never Gonna Stop", "Angels On My Side"
The was his breakout hit he wrote after he left the Stock Aitken and Waterman production team that produced all his previous hits . Hes now a national treasure in the Uk. A double appearance at the Glastonbury festival last year followed by a joint set with a band called the Blossoms at Glastonbury covering Smiths songs , a full set done on the BBC on New Years Eve to see in the new year and hes just completed a sell out tour. Ive posted a live version of this song he performed in my home town Glasgow in february. He released a new album of his songs last year.
Absolute best Rick Astley song ever! Thank you so much Jay and Amber for listening to it. I absolutely adore this tune. If you were looking for another great Rick Astley tune, consider listening to Take Me To Your Heart.
Rick had a big hit with his version of "When I Fall in Love" which showed off his distinctive voice. You may recall loving another UK unique and surprising voice from the 80s with Roland Gift from The Fine Young Cannibals when you checked out "She Drives Me Crazy". It's amongst your most viewed videos with 311k plays. They did a great version of "Suspicious Minds" or you could check their US number 1 "Good Thing". It's been a while since you checked them out as Jay was still recovering from "Rock Lobster" at the time lol!
I agree with you that the women's choir is a perfect addition to this song and Rick Astley's soulful voice. A song with a message. I love it. Apparently the universe knew that because I happened to hear Elton John's "Border Song" today. 😊
Excellent! Thank you 2 for enabling me to hear music that is new to me and older music that I forgot about! I go to my VA for music therapy once a week and you help by giving me new and old favorite songs to share and talk about. God bless you! I cried for help 22 years ago! John 3:16, Romans 10:9-13, John 1:12.
Rick Astley can turn his vocals into any genre, he rocked Glastonbury last year singing with all kinds of artists and I was blown away to know he started as a drummer. I am a sucker for a great ballad and this one is up there, veering away from the Stock, Atiken, Waterhouse catching, bouncy offerings this shows how versatile Rick is
I'd actually never heard this one before, but Rick is a real professional. I love his fun side too, as seen in the covers he did on his own channel. "Sleeping" was more of a dance song, but Rick has a great vocal on that one as well. Thanks, guys. 💚
Hey, glad to see someone else noticed that. God, what a gorgeous head of hair the man had. Still, blessed with a great head of hair to this day, I think.
@@gerrisutton7586 : Ya, I always thought he was/is a pretty hot and sexy guy too. But God, is he ever hot with the long locks and thick, full, hair though. When a man can sport long hair well, I see no reason why they shouldn't. Never could understand that one. My Best. Out.
If I remember correctly, this song, from the album "Free", was his attempt to step away from the Stock-Aitken-Waterman songs he had performed until then, getting tired of dance-pop and aiming towards more heartfelt soul. Sadly, the album didn't hit the heights of his previous hits, leading to his fading into obscurity until his recent, most welcome, renaissance. You should hear him with the Foo Fighters! Now THERE'S a team-up!
The opening of this song has always reminded me of It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop, Valley Road by Bruce Hornsby and Waiting For You by Richard Marx. Strange, yes, but they all hit my ear in similar ways.
This the long haired phase of Rick Astley. Getting out of his clean cut boyish image but still with the powerful voice. Rick Astley is an underrated singer and often joked about because of his Never Gonna Give You Up song and meme but the guy can sing. He’s had many hits that get little notice in my book because people focus on The Never Gonna Give You Up song. This song and hopelessly are excellent. His cover of Nat King Cole’s When I Fall in Love is awesome too.
Was waiting for the gospel singers to come in and shock you and it was worth the wait!!! Have you done his song Hold Me In Your Arms yet? Can't remember, another slower one, but still shows off his amazing voice and i think you'd love it!!! I think back to these days and think this was just music the whole family could enjoy, it reminds me of my nan, maybe because when as kids we saw her this was just so wholesome and uplifting it starts with you, RIP nan, still in my thoughts and my heart!!! Just wanted to add this.
There's a video on UA-cam of Foo Fighters in concert and Rick Astley joins them on stage to sing one of his hits from the 80s, it's really cool to see them honor him in that way.
My favourite Rick Astley song. Saw him in concert in march. It was fantastic ❤ His latest album( Are we there yet) is awesome. Especially Driving me crazy
I've been waiting for this one since you first reacted to Rick Astley. Everything about this song is perfect down to his incredible hair. I played this constantly when I was deployed in Iraq. Thank you guys so much.
My favorite Rick Astley song is "Sleeping" released in 2001, so a bit later in his career. It was only released in Germany but later included on a greatest hit records in the UK.
Rick has said in interviews that he grew up loving Soul music. That’s really the sort of thing he wanted to do more than the pop stuff which was just the trend of the times.
This just might be my favorite Rick Astley song, because it's such a departure from the dance/pop stuff (which I also love). This r&b/gospel-style song fit his voice perfectly! I was about 13 years old when this song came out in 1991. After this album came out, Rick Astley left the music business to raise his family. In recent years, he has thankfully returned and released new music. I suggest checking out the music video to his new song, 'Never Gonna Stop.'
I know this song but I never listened to it anymore, also because at a certain moment I've never heard it on the radio anymore but this is indeed a very good song. Thank you for your reaction, Jay and Amber❤❤
His beautiful voice has only improved with time, please do Whenever you Need Somebody and more recent songs Giant, and Pray with me. His performances at Glastonbury and at the UKs New Years Eve special was great! ❤
This one had some sad memories attached to it for me. However, I heard it today and just heard his lovely voice and gorgeous background vocals. Thanks kids. Have a great day. It's beautiful here up in the great white north. Be well. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
Gotta love 90s Rick Astley's hair! Such a stunning song. I was lucky enough to see him perform live at the Eden Project a month ago (supported by The Lightning Seeds- another great band) and this song was one of the highlights 😍 He's so funny as well! If you get the chance to see him live - do it!
Terribly, terribly, underrated performer. I'm not sure there is a song out there, that Rick put out, that I do not like. Sadly, I can be sure that if it is someone I like, they won't be liked by much of the world, as I always, seem out of step with the taste of the majority. Man, that hair. Good Lord, that hair. If only I had even, half of that today. If only. Rock On Rick, this one guy will ALWAYS, be a fan till the day I die. My Best. Out. PS: Guys, this is my youth. Rick and myself are close to the same age I think. I get so emotional when I see you guys REALLY, get into what was popular when I, was young. It feels VERY, validating. Thank You SO, SO, MUCH!
I first heard that song the day I went to get my driver’s permit. I was turned away because of my disability. On the way home, with me in tears, “Don’t Cry Out Loud” by Melissa Manchester, followed immediately by “Cry for Help” by Rick Astley came on the radio, one after the other. My dad looks at me, gives me a hug, and says, “Well, that makes it hard to know what to do, huh?” I laughed and cried at the same time.
It’s funny how the universe speaks to us sometimes ✌️
Cool memory with your dad
That's just 1/100th of the lessons our loves ones taught us in life..
That reminds me of the time I heard Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" after Boyz II Men's "On Bended Knee" on the radio. The DJ must've done that on purpose. lol
I hope you got your permit in the end.
That is by far his best offering! Rick is a top notch vocalist!
Was always one of my faves of Rick Astley songs, soulful and beautiful and a stunning choir too. 😊👌🏻
There was a song from Joey McIntyre called 'Stay The Same" that had a similar vibe, and also ended with some church. It was 1999, so Jay and Amber may be old enough to vaguely remember it.
@@JaDav40 Oh right I see, it's possible I suppose that they might remember it indeed.
Rick Astley is not given the praise he deserves. Everybody know "Never Gonna Give You Up" but his library his awesome. Im glad that he is now getting back on scene and the youth of today are appreciating him .... ❤❤
He's great!
definitely Rick's best.
when that choir enters an amazing song turns into an spectacular one
The really funny thing about Rick Astley is that he really is no joke. ✌️
And he never, ever, felt fake to me either. Always a very, genuine guy. And seems to still be, to this day. He really should have had a much, much, greater career. He really should have. My Best. Out.
On his latest albums, from 50 on, he plays all of the instruments. He records his way. No more corporate studios, corporate dictates.
I remember when I first heard this...I thought "this is Rick Astley???" After all those uptempo dance hits....this was quite a change! And, when the choir came in....I got goosebumps. And I just did again while I was watching it. Thanks for listening to it Jay and Amber!
My favorite Rick Astley song! Such a beautiful voice, then add in the choir towards the end...heaven.
Excellent song! Thanks for checking it out
So happy you did this song! His best
The delicate piano playing makes this track for me, along with Rick's superb vocals....... this is one of Rick's finest tracks.
The brilliant Andraé Crouch Choir, the Disciples provided backing vocals, such a great song. They were also on tracks with Madonna and Michael Jackson. I'm glad to see Rick still being found and enjoyed for his music and not just an internet meme, truly a great singer.
Yeeeeeees! A still relatively unknown sing from an underrated, awesome talent!
It reached #3 in the US..I don't think forgotten just underappreciated over time
Viciously underrated. Honestly, the world has no taste at all, sometimes.
That’s the Andre Crouch Choir. They are also on Madonnas Like A Prayer with that same awesome woman belting out.
This single was Rick's transition from the 80s to the 90s. While "Cry for Help" was a top ten hit, Rick largely disappeared for twenty years. Pop music can be cruel. What a vocalist!

His best song, beautiful words and music, and what a voice!
Rick is an old soul, he’s born same month and year as myself. I grew up listening to Rick as his height 1987. His voice is so rich and mature. Agree with everything you have said love this version with choir amazing
Rick took a hiatus from the 'stardom' and came back with an album when he was 50. Honestly its sooo good. ❤
Yes! So glad you got to this song, to me his best.😊
By far, his best song. Stepping out from behind the bubble-gum pop world and showing his true talent. Blue-eyed soul at its very best! And such a powerful message of being there for someone who needs a shoulder...10 out of 10.
And you didn't even acknowledge his FANTASTIC hair!!!!
That is some award-winning hair. Let me tell you.
My favorite Rick Astley song. Especially when the choir hits you feel the emotion💫
As a "forgotten man of pop", this was a wake up call to recognise and appreciate a great vocalist of any era. Similarly, another vocalist who drifted away from the "mainstream" was Joe Cocker.

God, I haven't heard this in decades! I used to watch the video for this song all the time on VH1 in the spring of '91. It was a great era of music!
Always loved this song and this artist.
This song was another one of Rick's worldwide hits.
I love Rick Astley and when I heard this song it became my favourite. Awesome teenage years.
This is the song that got Rick invited to the barbecue!
I thought he was there since Never gonna give you.
@@claystevenson1821 Ikr so this surely would've earned him an invite back lol 😆
they thought about it with “never gonna give you up”, but it wasn't until “ain't too proud to beg” that they let him in. this song? they let him stay 🤍
The choir came in. Bam! Plus, with his soulful voice. Love love love it
What an incredible voice he has. Always loved all of his songs❤

Good 80s trivia, thanks for sharing! I didn't know Rob Fisher co-wrote this song.
This is such a beautiful song and a lovely message.
Cannot believe i have never heard this song really great blown away and i have been listening since 1963 on the radio basically
I love this voice! Rick Astley is an amazing singer and songwriter! ❤
He absolutely smashed Glastonbury and he comes across as a a decent human being
Have you seen Rick Astley sing with the Foo Fighters it's worth the watch the whole Foo Fighters crowd singing RA song 🎵 👌 🎶
Rick's voice is in my life's soundtrack.
Realize the diversity of the bands back then, it was never a thing.
My, how times have deteriorated.
Simply pure perfection..⭐ Lyrics and music.💗
I FLIPPED over this song when it came out! And he had long hair in the video. That’s when he really caught my attention!
My absolute favorite Ricky A. song. I can listen to this everyday.
Omg I'm so glad you finally reacted to this!! I suggested it a few times in the past. Rick's voice is amazing and in this just shows it off even more! The Choir that comes in later just lifts him up so wonderfully in this.

Ooh the drums and vocals alone…fantastic!!
Beautiful back vocals ❤❤❤❤
Hey…that’s when Rick let his hair grow out!
I'll take him with short or long hair.

Personally, I will NEVER mind being Rickrolled, ha. I love this guy's music and vocals. An 80s favorite!
2024 favourite too….great in concert
@@eggy1962 a favorite for all time. I bet he's fantastic in concert!
I've been waiting for this one since you first reacted to Rick Astley. Everything about this song is perfect down to his incredible hair. I played this constantly when I was deployed in Iraq. Thank you guys so much.
I never realized how much he looked like John Mulaney. Awesome song.
My favorite Rick Astley song is "Sleeping" released in 2001, so a bit later in his career. It was only released in Germany but later included on a greatest hit records in the UK.
Rick has said in interviews that he grew up loving Soul music. That’s really the sort of thing he wanted to do more than the pop stuff which was just the trend of the times.
This just might be my favorite Rick Astley song, because it's such a departure from the dance/pop stuff (which I also love). This r&b/gospel-style song fit his voice perfectly! I was about 13 years old when this song came out in 1991. After this album came out, Rick Astley left the music business to raise his family. In recent years, he has thankfully returned and released new music. I suggest checking out the music video to his new song, 'Never Gonna Stop.'
Love this vibe from Rick and when the lady's drop in oh my goodness .
Love Rick. You should have him on your show, I think he would do it.
He most likely would…..he has so many hits he could talk about.
I know this song but I never listened to it anymore, also because at a certain moment I've never heard it on the radio anymore but this is indeed a very good song. Thank you for your reaction, Jay and Amber❤❤
His beautiful voice has only improved with time, please do Whenever you Need Somebody and more recent songs Giant, and Pray with me. His performances at Glastonbury and at the UKs New Years Eve special was great! ❤
Blue-eyed soul at its best. First heard this in senior year '91, while going through some stuff. The message is still as strong today.
This one had some sad memories attached to it for me. However, I heard it today and just heard his lovely voice and gorgeous background vocals. Thanks kids. Have a great day. It's beautiful here up in the great white north. Be well. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
Beautiful guys!Thank you for this one! Awesome!
Gotta love 90s Rick Astley's hair! Such a stunning song. I was lucky enough to see him perform live at the Eden Project a month ago (supported by The Lightning Seeds- another great band) and this song was one of the highlights 😍 He's so funny as well! If you get the chance to see him live - do it!
Kid can sing!
YES!!! Finally, y'all got to this one. This is my Favorite Rick Astley song!! He is so Incredible!! Love Love Love!!! ❤❤🥰
Terribly, terribly, underrated performer. I'm not sure there is a song out there, that Rick put out, that I do not like. Sadly, I can be sure that if it is someone I like, they won't be liked by much of the world, as I always, seem out of step with the taste of the majority. Man, that hair. Good Lord, that hair. If only I had even, half of that today. If only.
Rock On Rick, this one guy will ALWAYS, be a fan till the day I die. My Best. Out.
PS: Guys, this is my youth. Rick and myself are close to the same age I think. I get so emotional when I see you guys REALLY, get into what was popular when I, was young. It feels VERY, validating. Thank You SO, SO, MUCH!
