Today, 28 years ago in 1983, the album Forever By Your Side by The Manhattans debuted on the billboard Top R&B Albums Chart. It reached #17 and was on the chart for a total of 19 weeks.
Fantastic album by The Manhattans, Sonny Bivins, Blue Lovett, Kenny Kelley , and Gerald Alston. Two tracks of this album are really old time classics. These two, mid tempo tracks, are 'Crazy' and 'Locked up in your love' both produced by John 'Skip' Anderson who also produced Melba Moore's 'Lovin' Touch'. Two other pieces of jewelry are: Morrie Brown produced 'Start All Over Again' and Leo Grahams produced 'Love Is Gonna Find You'. Krystal Davis does the background vocals on all mentioned tracks. It peaked on #17 in the Billboard R&B Album chart. Must Have.
