I'll Be Loving You (Forever) I'll Be Loving You (Forever) is a 1989 ballad song from New Kids on the Block. The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight. The third single from the group's second album, Hangin' Tough, it peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, while peaking at number five in the UK. I'll Be Loving You (Forever) rose from #56 to #41 the week of April 15, 1989 as You Got It (The Right Stuff) was descending from the Top 40.
Franklin's cover is by far the best-known version, but this was an important song for Otis Redding. It was just his second Top 40 hit, following I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now), and it helped establish Redding on mainstream radio. Otis also performed the song at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967; this was a defining performance for the singer, who died in a plane crash six months later.
