For years we’ve been singing along to Keith Sweat’s “Make It Last Forever,” and every time it came on the radio we everybody was like ‘Awww, that’s my jam!’ but about 80% of us who loved the song, have never ever seen the female singer with the powerful voice who was singing with Keith.

So after one of our ILOSM family members asked us about the female singer on that song, we decided to do some diggin’ like we always do and we came up with some interesting info about singer, Jacci McGhee.

Now we can finally put a face to the beautiful voice on a song that that will forever be etched in the hearts of us 80’s R&B music lovers. Meet the woman who KILLED IT on “Make It Last Forever”…

Jacci started out as a background singer for Keith until he decided to push her to the forefront on their classic, “Make It Last Forever” and the rest is history…
Jacci posted the below photo on Instagram with the caption:

“KEITH & I WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING GREAT THAT WE SHARED & THAT’S A HIT RECORD THAT WILL PLAY AFTER WE R GONE. “MAKE IT LAST FOREVER” IS A GIFT FROM GOD. I THANK ALL U GUYS FROM MY HEART FOR ALL THE LOVE U HAVE SHOWN US BY PLAYING THIS RECORD. FOR THE NEW GENERATION “BLESSINGS” & KEEP LOVING MUSIC THAT TOUCH YUR SOUL”

Jacci is still putting her beautiful voice to good use. After the success of Make It Last Forever, she released a solo project of her own and then she went on to sing background for the rock group, Toto.
