Keep On Moving

Now if you don't know this song then I will keep that look of shock that is on my face to a minimum (but really, how could you NOT know this song?). And if you DO know this song then you know just how great and moving it is. It may have been awhile since you've heard it and like most old music (old being mid to late 80's) it's usually forgotten about. When you hear it again though you wonder why the hell it's taken you so long to bless your ears. Soul II Soul's Keep On Moving is definitely a blast from the past and it's a great soundtrack when you take that trip down memory lane.

Off their US debut album Club Classics Vol. One that dropped in 89, Moving went all the way to number one on the soul and dance charts. Produced by Jazzie B with vocals by the talented Caron Wheeler this song was a thumper and pretty much irresistible when it came on. Wheeler left the group itching to capitalize on the success of the album. She embarked on a solo career and while she never attained the success she knew while part of the Soul II Soul/Funki Dred family she always has this song and what a song it is. The first thing that catches you is that beat then Caron mellifluous vocals, that thumping bass line, and the sweet piano all come in together and this song never looks back.

This is a song meant for the big boy speakers so download it if you don't already have it. Then take your laptop/computer or ipod and hook it up to your stereo and turn the volume up. Then try and remember where you were and/or what you were doing back in 1989 and enjoy!!!!
