"Forever By Your Side" is the 13th studio album of American popular R&B vocal group the Manhattans, originally released in 1983 by Columbia Records. In 2014, the album was remastered on CD with the caption "Expanded Edition" and brought five bonus tracks, totaling 13 tracks. The last song on this 2014 remaster, "Lovin' You Did not Come Easy", is an previously unreleased song, released over thirty years after it was recorded.
Although this was a nice album, the Manhattans were beginning to encounter problems in the mid-'80s with Columbia. The hits were drying up, and although their harmonies and Alston's soothing leads were still first-rate, they had become a strictly R&B band, and weren't generating any pop attention. They tried being even smoother and more romantic than ever, softening the production and toning down the group interaction. The results were some excellent singles in "Just the Lonely Talking" and "Locked Up in Your Love," but they couldn't move the album or the group ahead.
