DESCRIPTION:
Forever Yours is the fourth album by Dutch girl group Luv', released in November 1980 by the labels CNR/Carrere Records. It includes the hit singles One More Little Kissie, My Number One and Tingalingaling. This opus features a new group's member Ria Thielsch who replaced Patty Brard. It was Luv''s last record to benefit from a real international release in more than thirty countries.

In the summer of 1980, Patty Brard suddenly left Luv' as the trio was promoting the One More Little Kissie single. This defection had bad consequences as new material had already been written for a next album. A new member was quickly found: Ria Thielsch, a former model who already knew Marga Scheide from modeling agencies and a singer/limbo dancer from the Ricardo & The Flames group. Ria was officially introduced with the release of the Forever Yours album and the My Number One single. These records were big-selling discs in Benelux. However, in the neighbouring European countries, they did not achieve the good sales of the records featuring Patty.
Forever Yours is an eclectic combination of Pop, Latin American music, Schlager and Exotica sounds. Its production was supervised by Hans van Hemert and Piet Souer, who had already been responsible for the trio's recordings since 1977. The songs One More Little Kissie and I Win It were already on the track listing of the 1980 version of the previous album True Luv'.

The lyrics of the song The Show Must Go On deals with Luv's problems due to Patty's departure. Moreover, the female formation intended to represent the Netherlands at the Yamaha Music Festival with the track Be My Lover Tonight [1] in November 1980. However, Luv' cancelled their participation to this competition.
