The biggest one hit wonder of the eighties.

On further investigation I've now discovered that this was actually the biggest one hit wonder of 1991. 😂

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Nick Lowe mentions him to devastating effect in his song All Men Are Liars

Do you remember rick astley?
He had a big fat hit that was ghastly
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down
Well I'm here to tell ya that dick's a clown
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow
I'd bet it’s all that he knows by now

So who were the 1980s production masterminds behind all this. For starters ...

Stock, Aitken and Waterman: Kylie, Rick Astley, Dead or Alive, Mel and Kim
Brian Eno: U2, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode
Nile Rodgers: Madonna, Bowie, Duran Duran, B52s and others.

I'm no expert on this so there are probably others.

Mutt Lange produced lots of the 80s rock music.
Rick Rubin was behind a lot of US popular culture.

Yes Mutt Lange was behind a lot of eighties rock, Bon Jovi, I believe amongst them, yet this was the guitarist who got Bon Jovi going
