Pete Burns had an amazing voice

RIP Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns who died in London following a sudden cardiac arrest on 23 October 2016, at the age of 57. This song was produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, also known as "The Hit Factory" who also produced Rick Astley.

Very underrated band. Pete was an amazing entertainer. Sad he is gone 🕊

You know that one of his original band members later joined Sisters Of Mercy, and by the split of that band formed The Mission UK, which is still together more or less in the original setting atm.

As a child in the 80's this song (and Pete Burns specifically) changed my life. I saw that I could be someone that I yearned to be and knew who I was. Loved Pete Burns and others in the 80s that broke barriers. Even had Pete Burns' & Divine's hair for the late 80's! haha Great stuff and great memories.

Wish I can like this more than once!!! The cheesiness works in their favor in this theme. It's a work of art. A true masterpiece and i love it so much!!! Thank you!!!!

This really did change the pace of 80’s dance music. It was around 120 bpm- that was astounding for pop music at the time. I remember burning up the dance floor at a teen bar to this song. You just couldn’t help yourself!! A friend of mine from the U.K. was a very close friend of Pete Burns. He lived with Pete for about six months before moving to Barcelona. Very interesting and kind person from what I’ve been told- and definitely marched to his own drum beat.

Pete burns was from Liverpool and he worked in a shop called probe records. He was always in the city centre dolled up to the eyes balls looking very strange and beautiful. R. I. P. Pete Liverpool loved you and your stellar music.

LEGEND!!!!!!!! Absolutely!!!! Pete's voice was unique, miss him so much... They made a lot of great songs, so you got too much to discover... "Brand New Lover", "Hooked on Love", "Nukleopatra", ""Your Sweetness (Is Your Weakness)", "My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me to the Doctor)", "Come Home with Me Baby", "I'd Do Anything", and maybe the best cover ever made, "That's the Way (I Like It)"

Yep, lots to discover, I got the DOA boxset "Sophisticated Boom Box 2016" and it's like 19 discs...17 CDs and 2 DVDs...it's a genius catalogue...my all-time fave DOA song is "It's Been A Long Time"...and don't forget their early goth work either...

Love Love Love this song. As you said, it was the first chart topper for the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production trio, who went on become one of the most successful songwriting/production teams of the 80's and worked with the likes of Bananarama, Mel & Kim, Rick Astley, Donna Summer and Kylie Minogue. Would love to see you check out 'Divine - You Think You're a Man' as that was the first SAW UK single to make the chart. It's an amazingly camp HI-NRG track and I adore it.

I knew all about that Divine song, but then I heard it, it scared the crap out of me, to be honest...that vocal takes camp drag to another place...I'm straight and I was like oh jeez...but it is fun...

Adore your reviews. Great fun and hilarious! Pete had the eye patch as he'd just had a nose job and hated it and wore the patch as a distraction for people. Steve, Mike and Tim are the others. Spin me was actually on the U.K. charts for over 5 months (longer than any Beatles song) and held the world record for any No. 1 song that took the longest amount of time to get there. D or A had many other top 40 hits and were huge in Japan.

One of the most iconic LGBT artists in history. Also, check out the mash up with Dannii Minogue (Kylie's Sister).

The sound you are hearing is the sound of Hit Factory producers Stock, Aitken, and Waterman. They churned out pop hits like they were candy in the 80's and were Kylie Minogue's main team for her first 4 albums. Please react to Dead or Alive "Brand New Lover" and "Something In My House"

Yes SAW produced albums 2&3 for DOA, but that is the one instance where the records sound more like DOA than an SAW production, because DOA were an actual band & the end result is not much different than the original demos, plus DOA wrote those songs, not SAW...you cannot say "You Spin Me Round" sounds like "Never Gonna Give You Up"...the closest SAW ever came to the DOA records was the Bananarama ones of "Venus" & "I Heard A Rumour"...and maybe the Mel & Kim ones...I do have that 3 CD Hit Factory set, which is fun...

They started off as an indie band in 1980 in Liverpool with many line-up changes. This line-up (1983-1988) was the most successful commercially and they were massive in Japan for while. I used to see Pete Burns a lot around Liverpool in the early days. He worked in a record shop called Probe and if somebody bought a record he didn't like, he would hold it at arm's length and say "What are you buying this shit for?" hahaha If you like ABBA and 80s music, try Bucks FIzz (New Beginning/Mamba Seyra or My Camera Never Lies).

So glad you liked it. ;) A true classic. And that bassline... If you want to explore them more try "Brand New Lover" and "Something in my House".

I was obsessed with this song and the album. This is one of the definitive songs of the 80s.

Would kill to go back in time and be present on the dance floor when this masterpiece began playing

The band members are Pete Burns (lead singer with eyepatch), Steve Coy (drummer, red hair), Timothy Lever (shortest hair), and Mike Percy (pink outfit). Sadly, Pete died in 2016 and Steve died in 2018. R.I.P.

Not all of Europe. She failed to have any major hits at all in the UK, arguably the most important/influential market behind the USA. 3 songs reached the top 100. Her single everlasting love hit number 45 in 1987. Very few, if any, people will remember her in the UK or Ireland, let alone label her as a 'legend'.

It only achieved #13 on Eurochart Hot 100 because it did not peak at same time in all countries. Despite that it sold over 250k singles in France and also over 250k in Germany.

@@scottjefferson884 I don't know whether you made this statement to dismiss Sandra or show off your musical knowledge, but you're wrong on both counts. I'm from Ireland and I bought Sandra's first album ("The Long Play" which includes "Maria Magdalena") at the time of its original release and have bought everything she's recorded subsequently (and it's a pretty substantial output). While it's true she doesn't have a huge fanbase here or in the UK, it's a ridiculous generalisation to suggest that no-one here knows her. Yes, the PWL remix of "Everlasting Love" was her biggest hit here, but you seem to be underestimating the sheer volume of physical records one had to sell back then to reach #45. The track got a huge amount of club and radio play, and many of her other songs were regular fixtures on MTV Europe, not to mention Pete Waterman himself (of said PWL) actively plugging the single on his hugely popular "Hitman and Her" TV show. I have spoken to many people in the British Isles over the years who have bought a single here, an album there, and still remember her fondly. It's a very different story in the rest of Europe, where she was genuinely HUGE, and would definitely be considered a musical legend by many. Personally - being Irish - I wouldn't call her a "legend", I consider her to be A FREAKIN' EURODANCE GODDESS!!!

Dead or Alive have many hits. All memorable.

Dereck, Pete was an amazing icon and yes, his voice was amazing! Brand New Lover next!!!

Dead or alive something in my house! Perfect for halloween

The edgiest you could find dance music wise...i was such a fan,so many hits all the way 1980´s,it was a floor packer around clubs downtown,absolutely awesome!

Produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman who were responsible for Kylie's early releases. Look up Hazell Dean, similar sound. Whatever I Do by her is great

Yes the battle of the gender bender’s!

R.I.P. the late, great Pete Burns. He was definitely a one-off, unique and totally unapologetic legend. He had such amazing charisma and perhaps the most piercing, waspish wit that could cut people in half! To say he was a complex individual is an understatement.....and he was probably his own worst enemy. But he certainly made an impact during his time on earth - sad that he left us too early.

My favourite song from the 80s.

Thanks for watching this. I loved it then and love it now. It's poppy, new wave, and high energy-ish. Brand New Lover is good and different. People covered it because it is a great song.

La primera vez que oí esta canción en una disco ME VOLÓ LA CABEZA!!! y luego EL LOOK de PETE !! ÚNICO !!! Y ESA VOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Story about the reason for his eye patch. It's rumoured that Pete Burns had just had his first (of many) nose jobs and he had a black eye, hence the eye patch.

Even though You Spin Me Round is their biggest hit, they have other equally cool songs worth checking out: My Heart Goes Bang, Brand New Lover, In Too Deep, Lover Come Back to Me, etc. Pretty much anything from their Youthquake album, where You Spind Me Round comes from, is worth checking out.

First time I heard it was in 1989 with the track “Come home with me baby” btw ... please react to that song. It was love at first sight 😍 since that I couldn’t stop following them. So proud you find out. 😊

I CAN'T BELIEVE, YOU DID IT!!!!!

some hits will kick us even in heaven or hell!

CLASSIC 80's!! This song for me at least, I have listened to well over 2000X & never get sick of it whatsoever!!? Another distinct voice where you would know from anywhere! Like Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, Cher & a few more! There are singers who sing well. Having a very Distinct Singing Voice, not so much. Thanks Dereck!

This song is the begining of not the new wave (which was earlier) but the debut of mainstream High Energy!! And it's because of this SAW production that Bananarama asked them to do Venus in that High Energy Style...and reach no. 1 in the USA charts!! Oh and I still have the 7" vinyl. LOL yep i'm that old!! LOL

Brand New Lover!

Great song, such an 80s anthem. You’re were born in 1985, you definitely don’t look 38, more like 25. 👍🔥

Dead Or Alive are my favourite group of the 80s and You Spin Me Round is my favourite song of all time. Seriously, there has barely been a day since it’s release that I haven’t played it. I played it daily in the 80s, it’s on every playlist I have and it’s my ringtone! Stock Aitken Waterman are amazing producers. Dead Or Alice were actually immensely successful in Japan after they went quiet in the UK and their re-releases by have been wildly popular. You should definitely check out more of their work. They were releasing music right up to the point we sadly lost Pete in 2016.

My fav thing bout songs it sometimes takes you back to a really cool memory this one would be Palm Springs 1999

Gorgeous man. This song was huge in the clubs..

You need to check out Stock, Aitken, and Waterman. They produced more than 100 hits in the 80s-including Kylie!

One of the most underrated dance groups in music history. The music ,the voice ,the visuals is a testament of how good and ahead of this time they were. This album ignite the career of stock , Aitken and waterman. Later they created wonderful albums for bananarama and Rick Astley,finishing his stellar decade with Donna Summer and In another place and Time album and the mega hit This Time I know is for real.
