Stock Aitken Waterman were a British team of songwriters and producers who had many hits in the 80s and early 90s. Most of us are familiar with their typical upbeat pop sound, with the most famous being Rick Astley’s 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up:

Another popular SAW song was Respectable by Mel & Kim:
