Forever Came Today - Jackson5 - Larry Levan Remix

Classic tune with Larry levan in the Mix.
The single was revived eight years later in a disco version by another Motown group, The Jackson 5. The Jacksons had replaced the Supremes as the label's top-selling act during the early 1970s and by 1975 were going through problems with Motown and making plans to leave the company. The Jackson 5's version peaked at number sixty on the pop chart in the U.S., but became a number-one hit on the Billboard dance chart. The single's B-side, "All I Do Is Think of You", was later extensively covered and sampled by contemporary R&B and hip hop artists.

...and most of the white gay crowd didn't like Larry's music (they went to Flamingo) But by the time I satrted to go, Tee Scott (Better Days) and Larry were playing and that's why I sais it should be mentioned it was primarily Black and Gay on Saturday nights. Don't forget Blacks and Hispanics (and women) weren't really welcome at most clubs back then which is why it IS important to point out the fact ..

this is NOT a larry levan mix of this song. this is simply the funk brothers (motown house band) original lp mix, & it was like having a religious experience when it was played in the garage, clubhouse, catccombs & any number of underground soulful house, disco, & r&b venues throughout the country, possibly world. simply put, IT KILLED A DANCE FLOOR

Being at the Paradise Garage with Larry Levan spinning was in itself a spiritual experience...I know, because I was there...

@dirtyedna You got that right!! the majority of the crowd on Saturday's were black and Puerto Rican and gay and on Friday's the demographics were the same but it was more straight/mixed crowed. The Loft was another club that mostly black/puerto rican gays went to. Better days was off the hook but did you ever go to Flamingo? if so, how was it?

[SuperDadoc]

The bottom line was that Larry Levan just loved playing this track in the Paradise Garage! If you ever heard this song at the Garage it sounded so spiritual !

this is off the Moving Violation Album back in 1978.  It was done at Motown.

They used to rock this on WBLS back in the day. Back when "If WBLS wasn't on your radio, your radio wasn't really on!"

@daryllharris love your comment,especially "many ships in the sea !!" You're right...all good! We carried on as much in the Nickel Bar or any other little dump as much as when we went to the Garage......no matter what town,there was a club back then, and we worked it for all it was worth !!!
