Always and Forever (Heatwave song)

"Always and Forever" is an R&B song written by Rod Temperton and produced by Barry Blue. It was first recorded by the British-based multinational funk-disco band Heatwave in 1976. Released as a single on 3 December 1977, the song is included on Heatwave's debut album Too Hot to Handle (1976) and has been covered by numerous artists, becoming something of a standard.

The song reached number 18 on the US BillboardHot 100 in March 1978 after peaking at number two on the US BillboardR&B chart, the band's highest showing on that tally. The single was certified platinum by the RIAA on 6 September 2001. In the UK, the songs "Too Hot to Handle" and "The Groove Line" were released before a double A-sided "Always and Forever" / "Mind Blowing Decisions" was issued in November 1978. This became the band's second top-10 hit on the UK Singles Chart when it spent two weeks at number nine in December.
