I just read a magazine article that stated this was a song recorded (or performed) by Prince that was originally recorded or written by Bill Withers.

I have never heard Bill Withers connected to this song. I only heard that JFK Jr. had this song played at his wedding.

Some one please clear this up for me.

Thanks.

Forever In My Life is a Prince composition. I would love to see that article.

Here's the Bill Withers song that includes the lyric "forever in my life"...

The well-informed idiot who wrote that article should be fired right now.

I'm agreeing with Vitriol on this one: That "reporter" needs to be axed. Why can't folks do the homework on stuff? Even the other day, someone said that Gary Coleman died at age 40. Dude was over 40. Is he not important enough to dig up on Wikipedia or IMDB and find his age? Do we round everyone's age up or down? WTF? It's not about the age, it's just about getting shit straight.

Believe it when I say that if Prince had lifted this song from Bill Withers, which he didn't of course, that it would have come out way before now. Give us the link on this article!

But the song was kind of inspired by another song either from L.G. or Sly or someone like that. I keep forgetting the important stuff about music now that I'm taking my school leaving exams!

Help me out, please!

I love this song. It ranks right up there with Adore

"... In the control room, there are a half dozen guitars, including one fashioned like the hieroglyph. At the piano, with Mayte beside him, he sings the bluesy, soulful "There's joy in Repetition," the jazzy "Ballad of Dorothy Parker," "Jam Of the Year" from the new album, and the Bill Withers tune "4ever In My Life," which was requested by John F. Kennedy Jr. for his wedding...."

Welllll, if you care to notice, the drum pattern (minus the fills) is the exact same thing.

Boom, Bap, Boom Boom, Bap.

Coincidence?

Oh yeah and did you see the kids playing that table top Donkey Kong!
