"Now, Then & Forever" is the twentieth studio album by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire, released on September 10, 2013, through Legacy Recordings/Sony Music. The album reached No. 11 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
This is the first Earth, Wind & Fire album without musical input from founder Maurice White, although he supplied a note in the album's liner notes:
As we see today’s technology uniting the world wide web, sometimes it seems that the hearts of men are growing more distant from each other. It is my hope that this music will continue to tie past to future, reminding us of the love that united us to our ancestors, and to our descendants, and to each other. Peace,
— Maurice White
Larry Dunn, a former Earth, Wind & Fire band member, features as a keyboardist on the album. A deluxe edition of the album was released along with a compilation album.
