This is a short version of the beautiful title track of Peggy March's new album. A love song dedicated to her husband since 1968, Arnie Harris, and a song that gave me the goosebumps when we recorded it. The instruments were played by Sam Scott, son of the late Clive Scott, only 15 years old at the time, but a very gifted musician. We spent six hours recording the intricate backing vocals with Jackie Rawe before Peggy laid down her lead vocal, pouring heart and soul into the lyrics and hitting some incredible notes. To me, Peggy is definitely up there with singers like Barbra Streisand and Elaine Paige, vocally.

Peggy made her recording debut at the tender age of 14 by RCA Records, and in 1963 she topped the US Billboard charts with her #1 hit record "I Will Follow Him", a song that has become a standard ever since. While Peggy landed four more hits in the US charts, she became a big star in Japan and particularly in Germany where she became a household name with countless TV-performances. By the end of the 70s, she had more than 30 chart hits to her credit! In the 80s, Peggy's career cooled off as she moved back to the US to raise her daughter. Still she co-wrote the song "When The Rain Begins To Fall" which became a European #1 hit for Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora in 1984. In the 90s, Peggy moved back to Germany to revitalize her career with another string of albums and singles, as well as being a regular performer in Las Vegas. However, throughout all these years of singing in German, Peggy had the wish to record an album in English again.

The songs on ALWAYS AND FOREVER are an exciting mixture of pop, disco and dance tracks together with grand ballads (the title track) and even a Northern Soul-style track ("Graduation Day") as a tribute to her 60s legacy. The song "I Still Follow You" with its grand orchestration marks a dramatic and haunting closer to the album. Also included in the album is Peggy's first recording of "When The Rain Begins To Fall" on which she duets with German singer and longtime friend Andreas Zaron. The whole album showcases Peggy's powerful voice to its fullest.

As a bonus, legendary mixer Tom Moulton has given three of the songs his "Tom Moulton Mix" treatment!
