Keep On Pushing, 1964
Written by Curtis Mayfield
This week is all about 1964!
A love song. The narrator is smitten. When she walks that walk and talks that talk, he can't quite explain how he feels. He just knows she drives him crazy and she's his everything. Soul music and vocal music does this kind of anthem to an adored subject so well, in a way that rock doesn't. The perfect doo-wop harmonies elevate the clichéd lyrics and simple chorus. Probably the greatest vocal group. The album this song is on is one of only a few displayed on the cover of Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home. I love the machine gun drum fill at the start.
