Forever is the title of a song written by Dennis Wilson and his close friend Gregg Jakobson. It was released in 1970 as the ninth track on The Beach Boys' Sunflower album and features Dennis on lead vocals.
Notably, Brian Wilson (the brother of Dennis and generally considered the genius behind the Beach Boys) declared, "Forever has to be the most harmonically beautiful thing I've ever heard. It's a rock and roll prayer."
An a cappella of the original version of the song was included on The Beach Boys' Hawthorne, CA anthology album.
On their 1992 album Summer in Paradise, The Beach Boys released another version with Full House star John Stamos singing lead vocals instead of Dennis Wilson, who had died in 1983.
