Congratulations to Manchester City FC on a historic double. Corinne still refuses to officially acknowledge that Forever Blue is actually an homage to City, but I know the truth...
In 1986 is when I first fell in love with Corrine with SWINGOUT SISTER’s debut: It’s better to travel! Big fan ever since she mesmerizes me with her beautiful vocals and knock out looks! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😘😘😘💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰 By the time: Am I The Same Girl came out In 1992 I had just graduated college with my bachelors degree and moved to California to start my masters degree at UCLA…time flies!
Corrine was a fashion designer before she joined SWINGOUT SISTER! She actually had SADE as a roommate at fashion design school! Two beauties who have great vocals!
The first time I heard FOREVER BLUE was on a cassette tape like 20 years ago and still loving it. Thanks SOS, your songs will always be a part of my teen years.
Andy & Corinne, you are the true definition of a class act, and so are your wonderful bandmates. 15 times in a row I've played this, and even if it's a million times more, it still won't be enough! Musical brilliance is best measured when artists can reinvent a song of theirs with several different versions of it, and have each of them turn out equally as great as the original. How phenomenal it would be if SOS devoted a whole album to these various renditions of "Forever Blue"!!! I am still sad that I couldn't get a ticket to see you last year here in Chicago and missed every chance to catch shows in NYC for all the years I lived there. Guess I've run out of chances, but I hope for the day when I'll finally get it right one of these times. Thank you so very much for 30 years of outstanding music.
Recently I read a review of this song from around the time it was released and it was the first time I'd heard anything about it being about Manchester City but I can understand the song can be both a love song and an homage to Manchester City. Either way whatever it is actually about it is a beautiful song and an absolute classic, and not just a Swing Out Sister classic.

It must cost a fortune to hire a studio and musicians. so stop sodding about, and start knocking out some new CDs, so all your fans can help you to pay for all this expense. please.
