Forrest (21 April 1953 - 9 September 2013) is an American singer, based out of the Netherlands.
He was born in Galveston, Texas, where he sang as a boy in church. He moved to Los Angeles, California as a teen and won several contests there as a singer. Following this he moved to the Netherlands, where he had a hit in 1982 with the song, "Rock the Boat", a cover of the Hues Corporation's 1974 #1 hit. Forrest's version was also a success in the UK (#4 in the UK Singles Chart) and the US (#9 Hot Dance Club Play). A second single, "Feel the Need in Me" (originally by the The Detroit Emeralds), was also a hit in the UK, peaking at #17. A third single, "One Lover (Don't Stop The Show)", peaked at #67 in the UK.

I was 19 and saw Forrest perform Rock the boat at the brunel rooms in Swindon. Was one of the lucky ones to be invited back stage to see him after and got a signed picture (still have it) an a kiss to go with it. So sad to hear he has left us such a lovely guy! RIP Forest xx
THIS WILL ALWAYS BE AN ALL TIME CLASSIC AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL, GOD BLESS YOU FORREST, SADLY MISSED, THANK YOU. 😊😀
Era il 1983 avevo 13 anni.....quanti bei ricordi ascoltando questa canzone.
Oh my Goodness. This is the best version. This is my childhood.
😊😊
This is the version I was looking for that I remember hearing all the time as a kid at friends and family gatherings in the early 80's.
Awesome!!!😎🤘
You have good taste in music
But, the real and original version is from "The Hues Corporation"...
Happy memories, R.I.P Forrest, happy song will live forever
Amen to that.
wat is forrest lead singer
Senitta danced on the video. Patricia Ruddock from the UK sang all the vocals with her cockney accent together with Forrest in Hilversum
Who's the other dancer in the video apart from Sinitta - is it Patricia Ruddock?
Just watching the movie the martian and this song came on and brought me here, reminding me of memories when i was 10 yr old, now 55yrs ha ha
I love it ❤😊 he did the song just right
I remember us recording this in Hilversum and me doing all the percussion. Will miss you bro. Rest in Peace
I really like the percussion on this song. It sold 258,000 copies in the UK according to a list I've seen, and was in the top 60 records for 1983 in the UK.
Jazsolmusic Thats fantastic..excellent 😊Hes seemed like a happy and kind person 😊🌈
Wow! The percussion made the song what it is. I'm sad to hear that Forest passed on
Muy buena version de un clasico Saludos

Nice to see this music video in HD !
One of my favorites from 1983. RIP Forrest!
Great music. The 80s rock!
Un bacio dall'Italia nel ricordo degli anni più felici della mia vita....indimenticabili anni 80❤
This is a standard dance floor classic right of passage for every generation.
magnifique souvenir 1980 pourquoi ne pas refaire une émission des années 80 avec tout c est meilleurs souvenirs de tubes
I discovered this song in 2020
And this song, even with other events that happened to me 2 years ago, is one of the main reasons i love that year
It almost made me cry now that I've listened it 2 years later because it struck me with strong nostalgia
I will never forget 2020
Thank you for existing, Rock the boat
Love this cover 😍
❤❤😊😊
I grew up in 1970s robert cool and his gang just super funk.a supreme group always had the edge great music from the past..
Always reminds me of when I first left school good times xx
Just such a happy record!
What a tune a modern classic 40 years fresh even today
Exitazo !!
Gosh what a classic!!!!!!!!
Missed 😩
Sabia que habia otra versión, pero no sabia de quien, era la que oía de niño y la que siempre me gustó, años oyendo la original y siempre me decia lo mismo: algo falta, algo es diferente, qué bueno haberla encontrado, un saludo en la eternidad Forrest!!
I first heard this before it even came to the UK, on the Radio Luxembourg International programme presented by Mike Verdrengh on a dark autumn night via the Great 208 on MW 1440 kHz / 208 metres, and I thought it was a good single.
Pure bliss
R.I.P. Forrest
Excellent 👌
A must

1982 un super tube 👍🕺💪
Buena, buena
Ca marchait très fort dans les boîtes gays parisiennes de 1983 !
Who knows about Nigerian parties/functions in London circa 1998...this used to play along with a song with "saturday night" in the chorus! Does anyone know it ???
Trying to think of what it could be.
@ajs41 Oh may the Almighty bless you. Thanks for your effort and concern ajs41!
@@scratchydemus I'm assuming you don't just mean the famous Whigfield song, but maybe you did.
Back when songs were fun. You flip on the radio and all the songs are chopped up with deleted expletives.
❤❤❤❤
The Hues Corporation fue el creador de este tema de 1974, el Primer tema de la Música Disco de la Historia
Sinitta is one of the singers in this video. Not sure who the other woman is.
The other girl..is Princess...maybe?
@@bambangsudanto5309 No it isn't Princess. Thanks for the reply though.
The lady dancing in the video is Patricia Ruddock! She is clearly not Sinnitta! Patricia sang the vocals as well!
@@abcdefg7435 Thanks for identifying her, although we weren't saying she was Sinitta, we were saying one of the ladies is Sinitta and we don't know who the other one is.
Is that Sinitta in the video?
Ik ken hem " anders" , persoonlijk. Een lieve vriend.
❤❤😊
Can someone confirm from UK , Sinitta is the lady from black box with the braids from the early 90s right ? Loved her
Yes, UK calling and we are Sinitta positive 👙 She wasn't in Black Box though, that was fronted by a miming Italian model.
I was just watching the film the Cable Guy and remembered this.
Rahul had honey in his throat singing this song at the karaoke party!!!
1982
1983 ... scurrying into a gay bar in Birmingham UK, called The Nightingale
This was playing, as I flounced through doors, saying to myself "You're home, kid"
Kid ... lol ... I was 24 years old!
Whereabouts in B'ham was The Nightingale located?
Waldo’s banger 🥳
❤❤😊
Digg it, a lot.....

According to Derry Girls this is the end all be all of wedding music
💜💜💜💜
Is that Gregory Hines singing
No, his name is Forrest Thomas Jr, and he passed away in 2013.
hues corporation..brought me...here
Which older, this version of Forrest or other version of Hues Corporation? My late Mom used to love this song but I'm confused which one was her favorite. I think it was this version.
The Hues Corporation record was the original.
This was my favourite version it's got more of a beat to it
@@deanrideout1275 doesn't mean a thing
When the world was a better place
i just want to know is he actully riding two women on this boat
Brandon T Jackson's least favorite song #rollbounce
Derry girls anyone
1:39 was this video sponsored by The Umbrella Corporation?
Getting a lot of RE vibes here...was expecting zombies to steal the show
