ephen Sondheim, “Company.”
Although they started back in 1985, more than three decades ago, it wasn’t until 1991 when The CompanY released its debut album, “’Yon Na,” under Ivory Records. “By the time we got our recording contract, we were already performing mostly jazz and a capella repertoire for five years,” Ortiz said. “The CompanY liked the songs of Joey Albert and JMC,” Ortiz said. “They were commercial but will not ‘baduy’ from our point of view.
Ortiz and Gallardo were clueless about why the song was originally titled “Love Lasts” by Cañiza, when those words were not even mentioned throughout the song.

We were thrilled beyond belief and over the moon.”
The CompanY earned the twin awards as Best Performance By a Duo or Group and Best Performance by a New Duo or Group for “Everlasting Love,” as well as Best Composition for “Everlasting Love” all in the Awit Awards in 1991. “’Yon Na” carried other English tunes like “Tell Me Tonight,” “We’re Still Together,” “My One and Only Love,” “Getaway,” “Didn’t We,” “Don’t Be Afraid,” with “Sana Nga ,” “Minsan Pa,” “Swerte, Swerte Lang” and the title track.
“Artists like Carpenters, Bread, Paul Williams and Roger Nichols, etc. ‘Everlasting Love’ reminded us of that type of timeless, trend proof [enduring] love song that eventually becomes a pop evergreen.” “We had no idea if ‘Everlasting Love’ was just a fluke,” Ortiz said. “We didn’t know if we were to gain another hit or we would be a one-hit wonder. Thank God, it was the former.
“I love the bittersweet scenario of the song, the emotional arcs of the melody and a flawless vocal recording of the song’s original singer, Reuben Laurente,” Ortiz said. “I love the composition, the production and the buoyant spirit of the song,” Ortiz said. “This is also our first official single that’s upbeat, after all these 35 years. Disco music is now perceived with more respect as compared to many years ago, when it was just considered as camp.”
“Everlasting Love” ultimately landed in the roster of local and memorable songs of all time. The popularity of a timeless ballad like “Everlasting Love” has undoubtedly become a sentimental favorite by many. “I started out quite late actually,” Ortiz sighed. “I was 20 years old when I discovered I could write songs. Actually, I was forced into writing songs because none of our friends and acquaintances were submitting songs for The CompanY’s debut album.
At present, Ortiz is writing, starring and producing a 10-episode online workshop on songwriting, “Songwriting from a Songwriter,” which he hopes to release online by the summer of 2021.
