Pat and Mick
The pair were often portrayed as unintelligent in media coverage, but this served to boost record sales, providing money for the charity in the process.
With their last single released in 1993, and Pat Sharp no longer at Capital Radio, they have no immediate plans to collaborate on future charity singles.
Top 40 Singles
* 1988: Let's All Chant / On The Night (UK #11, credited to Mick And Pat)
* 1989: I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet (UK #9)

Minogue rose to prominence during the late 1980s through her role in the Australian television soap opera "Neighbours," before commencing a career as a pop artist in 1987. After signing a contract with the British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1988, she achieved a string of international hit records.

Sonia - Can't Forget You
I remember about this song, I was on a beach in Rimi, I was reading the first SMASH HITS issue I bought and where was an article about Sonia. I bought her Album, "Everybody Knows", produced by Stock, Aitken, Waterman in Milan (Virgin Megastore in Piazza Duomo) the spring before, I went there with my classmates. I liked very much this song.

(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do
we can read from Wikipedia:
"(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do" is a single by American singer La Toya Jackson. The song is taken from her fifth album, La Toya. It is one of only four songs by Jackson to have an accompanying music video.
The single was released in 1987 throughout Europe, excluding the United Kingdom. Despite being produced by the European trio Stock Aitken Waterman, who were big hit-producers at the time, the single failed to chart. The B-side of the single, "(Tell Me) She Means Nothing To You At All", was released as its own single in France. The 12" singles include a longer version of the song.
However, the single did fairly well on the German DJ Charts. It debuted at No. 17 and stayed on the charts for several months. She also performed the song live on German prime time television "Die Verflixte Sieben" (with Rudi Carrell). The music video for the single was given little airplay and was never released on video or DVD. It didn't surface on the internet until March of 2007.

Rick Astley reveals: I still get a tingle from singing
IT’S a sunny day and a 42-year-old bloke is taking a leisurely stroll down a south west London high street, toying with the idea of popping into Waterstones.
He doesn’t attract a single backward glance.
And that’s surprising because, not too long ago, Rick Astley’s smiley face, with its shock of stiff auburn hair, was splashed almost weekly across the centrefold of Smash Hits, as instantly recognisable as bubble-permed Stock Aitken and Waterman stablemate Kylie Minogue...
Music guru pops in
There will be an opportunity for people to see what goes on behind the scenes at the station in Laurel Lane aswell as talks and demonstrations.

Kylie Minogue - Never Too Late - The original video of a Stock, Aitken, Waterman production:
The Three Degrees - The Heaven I Need 1985
Deuce - No Surrender
Hey Mike - how exciting this all is!
Just a quick question regarding the work you did with Deuce (my favourite pop band) on 'No Surrender' - was there ever any thought put into follow-up material (potential album/b-sides etc?) and what was the process regarding the "sound" of the track - much as I love it, it's very dissimilar to the eurodance style of their earlier material with Harding/Curnow and didn't seem to sit easily with the image of the group.
Thanks in advance!
David
Mike reply:
Hi David,
Only the one track made with Deuce, I'm afraid.
After the problems with the release of 'No Surrender' the decision by their manager Tom watkins, was to move on.
The style of the music does not sound out of date for now, perhaps. Maybe at the time it was a little adventurous. At least Matt and I were trying to make them sound a bit different from what had gone before. The image of a band is normally a moveable feast anyway. I don't know in hindsight, if we'd have done things differently.
Mike.

REVIEW: HERE AND NOW TOUR, TRENT FM ARENA
And finally, and to a hero's welcome: Rick Astley, making his debut on the nostalgia circuit, and cheerfully admitting to finding the whole experience overwhelming and bizarre. Now re-established in the nation's affections thanks to an Internet phenomenon known as "rickrolling", Astley surfed a tide of goodwill from the crowd, which was almost enough to cover his lack of memorable hit singles. (Hands up, who can name more than three of them?) Admittedly, it all got a bit Cruise Ship during his syrupy cover of When I Fall In Love, and even Rick himself seemed less than enamoured of some of the later Stock Aitken Waterman hits (he could barely wait to get to the end of the frankly rubbish Take Me To Your Heart, exclaiming "will this madness never end?" during the final chorus). ...

Don’t give up on having children, mums tell Kylie
SHE’S beaten breast cancer, and now Kylie Minogue has been urged not to give up on having children – by two Welsh mums who survived the same disease.
Mum-of-three Kate Williams, 37, of Cardiff, said: “I conceived my third child, Mel, while I was on Herceptin for breast cancer.
“It sounds like she’s resigned herself to the fact that she’s not going to have kids.
“For me, motherhood was extremely important and kept me fighting.”
Ellen Petts, 38, of Pentyrch in Cardiff, who had two children following cancer treatment, said: “It’s amazing how you think things will never be the same again. But they will...

France salutes Kylie with honour
KYLIE Minogue last night lured her seldom-seen parents into the spotlight as she received one of France's highest cultural honours.
Melburnians Ron and Carol Minogue joined their daughter as French Culture Minister Christine Albanel lavished praised on their daughter over her fight against breast cancer.
At a ceremony in Paris, Ms Albanel bestowed on the 39-year-old the title of Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters) and told her she was a "Midas of the international music scene who turns everything she touches into gold".
"I want to publicly salute the courage you showed by revealing publicly that you had breast cancer," the minister said. "Doctors now even go as far as saying there is a 'Kylie effect' that encourages young women to have regular checks."
Minogue kicks off a European concert tour in Paris today....
Lonnie Gordon - Happening All Over Again 2007
Something about Lonnie... we can read from www.youtube.com/user/lalonniegordon:
It is Happening All Over Again, for Lonnie Gordon. To sum up this extraordinary woman in a short biography is almost impossible. Zany, Witty, Artistic, Deep, Humorous, Intelligent, Fierce, Gentle, just a few words to describe Lonnie, but there is so much more to this Singer, Performer, Artist, larger than life creation.
Most famous for her vocal abilities, she cut her first track in the UK, this being "Happening All Over Again", which was the first of many number 1, hits worldwide. You can never mistake the unique husky tones and powerhouse vocals of Lonnie Gordon.
Leaving the UK to return to the U.S, there was only one way for Lonnie to go and that was forward, and that she certainly did,,, with full force. Based in New York, Lonnie never stopped working, naturally doing what she only knows best, singing.
Whilst based in New York she was offered an amazing career opportunity, the lead vocalist/narrator in the world renowned Cirque Du Soliel "Zumanity" in Las Vegas. This was a bold and daring move into the theatre world for Lonnie and she leaped at the opportunity. It was here in Las Vegas, Lonnie discovered a hidden talent so to speak, Art.
Whilst working in "Zumanity" she decided to put brush to canvas and before long, filled her home with what is now known as Lalonnie's Art.
Lonnie Gordon famous for being a singer, but add to her repertoire now, you have a theatrical performer and an accomplished talented Artist which is clearly interpreted through her many works of art.
"Anthology Part 1&2" culminates the two passions of Singing and Art, combine this with "Looking Through Time" and ANTHEMS and you have a wonderful collection of this truly talented and accomplished artist . All of these albums are available from www.cdBaby.com, so go do yourself a favour and lose yourself in this artistic wonderland of Lonnie Gordon/Lalonnies Art.

Sophie Lawrence - Love's Unkind
We can read from Wikipedia: Sophie initially quit her role in EastEnders to launch herself as a pop star. She enjoyed minor chart success in 1991 when her cover of Donna Summer's 1977 classic hit Love's Unkind (produced by Pete Hammond and Simon Cowell) reached number 21 in the UK singles chart. A further nine songs were recorded for an album but the project was shelved after she went on to work with the successful pop writers and producers, Stock Aitken and Waterman, recording a brand new follow-up single entitled Secrets, a track taken from Kylie Minogue's 'Rhythm Of Love album. However, the single was withdrawn before its release, her pop career stalled and she returned to acting.
Here you can listen to the song:

Never gonna give him up
And, of course, the other thing about Rick Astley that set him apart is that, despite his debut single being No 1 in 16 countries, clocking up record sales of 19 million and amassing a horde of squealing fans that Bros could only dream about, at the height of his powers, aged only 26, he left it all behind.
