David Castle - Love You Forever (1979)

David Dean Castle (November 28, 1952 – May 8, 2019) was an American singer-songwriter and film and television composer.

Castle was born in Overton, Texas, United States. Castle is the younger of two sons of a minister and a schoolteacher. His schoolteacher mother played piano, and began teaching Castle the piano at an early age. He moved to Hollywood, California in his early 20s, and became a staff writer for United Artists Music Publishing. His first credit was songwriter of "Ten to Eight" from Helen Reddy's 1975 album, No Way to Treat a Lady, which was also used as the B-side to her "Somewhere in the Night" 7-inch single. His first A-side was "If You Feel the Way I Do" (co-written with Graham Dee), the lead track on the Lettermen's 1975 album, The Time Is Right.

He contributed to the ABC-TV miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man and participated in the "Great Golden Hits of the Monkees" tour in 1976

His second album, Love You Forever was released in September 1979. Love You Forever featured Castle's signature style of layered vocals, and had more of a rock and roll feel than Castle in the Sky. Castle and songwriting colleague Jack Keller produced the album. The album's lone single, "Hold Me Just a Little Bit Longer" (two different versions, b/w "I'll Always Be There When You Need Me" and "No Matter What"), failed to chart. A promo of "At One with the Universe and You" was also released to radio stations.

Also in 1979, he appeared in the motion picture Where the Buffalo Roam, starring Bill Murray and Peter Boyle. He was credited as the "Longhair Kid" (one of the featured "hippies").
