Johnny Mathis version of "Always and Forever" ?

August 14, 2007 10:42 PM

Did Johnny Mathis sing "Always and Forever"? Anyone know where I can find it (ie, CD, download)?

Looking -- on very short notice, ie, within 24 hours -- for someone's wedding song to play at their 25th anniversary celebration/renewal of vows. I'm told it's "Always and Forever" by Johnny Mathis. But the "Always and Forever" I know is sung by Earth Wind & Fire.

I've done some web searching on this and coming up empty handed. So I would really appreciate any help in identifying/finding this tune.

The "Always and Forever" you know is probably the hit song by Heatwave. The also rocked out "Groove Line".

Rod Temperton was a main player in Heatwave - he worked with plenty of folks including MJackson for Off The Wall and Thriller.

Always and Forever is a such a great tune.

Also, Luther Vandross.

Email me if you want it. (Someone I knew needed it for a wedding. :-)

Heat Wave's version is the classic but Luther's version (RIP) is so beautiful.

There's a blind crackhead who enjoys singing it in the NY subway...you do NOT want that version.
