Stars & Hank Forever is an album by American art rock group the Residents. Released in 1986, it is the second and last album in the American Composer series before its cancellation due to increasing difficulties in maintaining the project. The track "Kaw-Liga", later issued as a single, samples the rhythm and bassline of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" (a reference to country singer Billie Jean Horton, who was married to Williams before his death) and did well in the emerging European club scene, spawning several remixes; it is as close as the Residents ever got to a bona fide commercial hit.

Utwór "Kaw-Liga" oparty na sekcji rytmicznej wyciętej z utworu Michaela Jacksona "Billie Jean" był jak dotąd największym komercyjnym hitem grupy.Powodami zaniechania dalszego wydawania płyt w tej serii były ich kiepskie recenzje, powolne odejście od krążków winylowych na rzecz kompaktów (zniszczyłoby to zaplanowaną przez zespół koncepcję poświęcenia jednej strony albumu dla j (pl)
