Heatwave – Always and Forever
Though their time in the spotlight was relatively short, Heatwave remains one of the most beloved groups of the 70s. Always and Forever that sang by Heatwave even made it as far and as long as they did was the result of an amazing ability to overcome even the most horrific obstacles, including the death of one member and two incidents that left other members paralyzed or severely injured.
Heatwave was formed in the early 70s by a group of U.S. servicemen stationed in Germany. The band went though various changes in personnel and finally settled in England as a septet featuring vocalist brothers Johnny and Keith Wilder and keyboardist/songwriter Rod Temperton. It became the first true international dance group, with members from the U.S, England, Czechoslovakia and Spain . While Heatwave was facing a series of issues, group writer Temperton was just hitting his stride. Unfortunately Heatwave broke up in the late 80s. Johnny Wilder used his experience as a spiritual awakening and became a noted producer of a cappella gospel in the 90s. He released two gospel albums, My Goal and One More Day, and produced a number of gospel albums for other acts. Sadly, he died on May 13, 2006 at his home near Dayton, Ohio.
Heatwave – Always and Forever Lyrics:
Always and forever
Each moment with you is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
Cos’ we’ve got a life of love that won’t ever change
And ev’ry day love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And feel sad tomorrow together
I’ll always love you, forever, forever
There’ll always be sunshine when I look at you
Something I can’t explain, just the things that you do
And if you get lonely, phone me
And take a second to give to me the magic you make
And ev’ry day love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And feel sad tomorrow together
I’ll always love you, forever, forever
