He has also been an ardent supporter of charities during his career. Pat scored seven hit singles as one half of the notorious Stock, Aitken and Waterman pop duo Pat and Mick, most memorably with the song I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. [continue]

Jeb Million - Second Time Around

I didn't know about this Stock, Aitken & Waterman production. But the A.Linn drum plate, the echo voice, some things, the tune remember their style and sound technology.
Here what SuperEuroBeat wrote about this song

This is a very rare early production from Stock Aitken Waterman. Jeb is a canadian singer originally from Ottowa. From MELODY MAKER, 30 AUGUST 1986: "JUST call me a quirky pop traditionalist,"...

Annica - I Can't Deny A Broken Heart (Special Remix)
