Question
Hi! Did Rick Astley sang 'Where's The Love We Used to Know?'? If not, who did?
Thanks and hoep to hear from you soon :)
Hi Botchock,
That song is not sang by Rick Astley, but from another UK band Delegation. The song was a disco hit in 1977. The remixed version of course became a hit in the 80's.
Same with 'You To Me Are Everything' by the Real Thing. It was a disco hit in 1976 and became popular again with the remixed version in the 80's about the same time with Delegation's remixed version.
These bands had more success in the UK and in Europe than in US.
Regards,

Expertise
Although born in the mid-60's, i learned to love music dating back to the 50's and specifically during the mid-70's and late 80's up to early 90's, where my love for music reached its zenith. Knowledgeable and can answer questions relating to 70s and 80s music...from mainstream to somewhat obscure or less-popular ones. I'm not much into OPM. Used to listen to American Top 40 hosted by Casey Kasem every week.
Experience
Mostly by listening to radio and quite a lot of background research on artists. Huge collection of 45's and LPs from mid-70's to 80's. I find music very therapeutic. Watches game shows about music and plays musical trivia stuff. Hangs around in DJ's booth. Buys old and rare music albums. Collects mp3 music of different genres.
