Today Team Legacy has a confession to make… Sometimes, yes, *sometimes*… we do watch X Factor… Did you hear X factor winner Louisa Johnson’s first single? Did it ring a bell? Well look no more, our very own Bob Dylan recorded the song in 1973 and created two versions (slow and fast). The song later featured on the 1974 album ‘Planet Waves’.

Whilst penning the song, Dylan is said to have been thinking about his son, and the track is commonly interpreted as a blessing from a father to a child.

‘Forever Young’ has since been covered and performed by many artists including Diana Ross, Meat Loaf and 2015 X-Factor winner Louisa Johnson.
