Album Review
Too Hot to Handle was the debut album from the soul/funk ensemble Heatwave, and it was well received by R&B and pop fans. Their initial release was the disco anthem "Boogie Nights." From the suspenseful, interlude-like intro to the adamant vocal delivery, the single had a lasting effect on the charts. It peaked at numbers five and two on the Billboard R&B and pop charts, respectively. The ballad "Always and Forever" was and continues to be an ageless piece. Johnnie Wilder's vocal exhibition throughout the vamp is breathtaking. It peaked at number two on the Billboard R&B charts. These two releases were respectively certified platinum and gold singles. Heatwave did not waste any recording time. This album employs nothing but quality tracks. The moderately paced "Ain't No Half Steppin'" was received warmly by radio, and it remains a staple. While Rod Temperton was writing excellent songs, Johnnie Wilder's supreme vocals gave the songs their identity.

Too hot to handle!
by SerenityMuszingsThis album was the bomb! It still is! I remember this album because my older sister and her friends had the record and played it ... over and over.. and over! I also got an opportunity to hear them live in our town. My older sister could only go to the concert if she took me along! House rules my mom would say. She hated that. Perhaps my best memory of the song "Always and Forever" was the 6th grade dance at my school. I organized the dance and spent all day decorating, etc. When this song came on, I was asked to dance with a guy I had a huge crush on. I was so nervous that I turned him down and continued to pour the sodas! lol I still wish I had enough nerve to say yes and take that dance. But, at least I found out he liked me just as much! These songs are so rich and vivid that they instantly take you back to your own "wonder years." I miss music like this!!!
Funky, Funky!!
by bobbymac27This is a classic, takes me back to my freshman year in college! Always and Forever even today is still a great jam! This album is good all the way through. This is music, you can hear the instruments and understand the lyrics. Take note hip hop this is music to dance to, party to and enjoy!

by jamaicafunkWhen I was 10 years old, I begged my mother to buy this album for because I got tired of listening to the radio until "Boogie Nights" came on. Brings back so many memories...
