DEF: Rick Astley “It Would Take a Strong Strong Man”
Lancashire, England-born singer Rick Astley hit number one on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with his first two singles, “Never Gonna Give You Up” and “Together Forever.” While Astley’s third single didn’t top the chart, it still performed well, reaching number 10. On this date in 1988, that single — “It Would Take A Strong Strong Man” — reached its peak position, where it would spend one week.
