While perusing YouTube for slow jams, I found the video above - "Always and Forever" by Heatwave. I loved this song. They always played it for during the slow skate portion of the evening at the roller rink we went to.
They were known for two other songs around the same time - "The Groove Line" and "Boogie Nights".
According to Wikipedia, after Rod Temperton, one of the founding members quit the band, he "continued writing songs for them but became better-known for his songwriting for other artists. He penned award-winning songs for some of funk's biggest names, including Rufus, The Brothers Johnson and George Benson. He also wrote for Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones, but his most famous partnership remains the one forged with Michael Jackson, writing three songs for his 1979 Epic debut Off the Wall – "Rock With You," "Off the Wall" and "Burn This Disco Out", and three songs for the 1982 Thriller LP, including the title track."
For me, this song will never die.
"Always and Forever", always and forever.
