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

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 the writer and original singer of the song, Dennis Wilson, who had died in 1983.
