When You Gonna
Rick & Lisa (Astley & Carter)

In May 1987 the single When You Gonna by Rick & Lisa was released by RCA. PWL producers, Phil Harding and Ian Curnow has written a backing track and asked Rick to provide some lyrics. When recording the song it was thought to be better as a duet. Backing singer, Lisa Carter, provided the additional vocal and the single was released in a plain cover without any promotion under the simple name of Rick & Lisa. Although the song did not have much impact he did remain with RCA when his solo recording career started two months later.
