Forrest - Rock The Boat (Official Video)

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 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!!!😎🤘

Senitta danced on the video. Patricia Ruddock from the UK sang all the vocals with her cockney accent together with Forrest in Hilversum

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

This is a standard dance floor classic right of passage for every generation.

[stevenbarton]

What a tune a modern classic 40 years fresh even today

[lolbones]

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!!
