About Forever and Ever

"Forever and Ever" is a popular song.

It was adopted by the German Luftwaffe as their song during World War II. There were a number of popular recordings in 1949. It was originally recorded by Gracie Fields with Robert Farnon's Orchestra on 23 October 1948 and released on Decca F9031. Her version was subsequently released in the USA on London 362 and it charted briefly in 1949. The song was also recorded by Russ Morgan with vocals by The Skylarks on January 20, 1949 for Decca Records and the song reached the top of the Billboard charts. It was recorded by Perry Como on January 13, 1949 and released as a single that year by RCA Victor Records. The 78rpm version was released with catalog number 20-3347-A, the 45rpm version was released with catalog number 47-2892-A. The flip side was "I Don't See Me in Your Eyes Anymore." The record first hit the Billboard chart on March 19, 1949 and it reached position #2, staying there for 4 weeks. In the United Kingdom, it was released by HMV as a 78rpm version with catalog number BD-1250 in June 1949.
