Slik were a Scottish pop band of the mid-70s, following in the footsteps of the Bay City Rollers. Nowadays they would be called a boy band. They were briefly famous when their single "Forever and Ever" reached No. 1 in the UK pop charts in February 1976. The song is unusual in that it has a lush, faintly gothic production with organs and chanting, quite out of keeping with the prosaic lyrics. Slik's most famous member was Midge Ure, who later went on to be the lead singer of Ultravox.
