Grammy/Platinum Icon Teddy Riley, who is the creator and architect of the New Jack Swing genre will be a special guest celebrating with host Keith Sweat their music legacy together and being the major game changers for R&B sound of music.

"Make it Last Forever" is the debut album of American R&B recording artist Keith Sweat Released on November 24, 1987, the album went to #1 on the Top R&B Albums chart for three weeks (and topped the Billboard Year-End R&B chart for 1988), and #5 on the Billboard 200.

The album's biggest hit was "I Want Her", a #5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and the first #1 R&B hit for Sweat. The title track (a duet with Jacci McGhee) followed "I Want Her" into the #1 R&B spot, while "Don't Stop Your Love" and "Something Just Ain't Right" were also major top ten hits on the Billboard R&B charts. In addition, album tracks such as "Right and a Wrong Way" and "How Deep is Your Love" received substantial radio airplay and can still be heard on quiet storm format stations.
