The Impressions - I Gotta Keep on Movin'

[county123]

amazing

[pharcelle1]

Thank you for sharing your sentiment. I agree with most of what you say and am tickled by the way you put it... that by the way is a rarity on the tube.

Anyhow, if I was in a party, and this tune came on, I my friend would be heading to the bar. It took genius to compose this track but the courage of Bob

and the wailers to tell it like it is'. without fear of repercussion. BTW Curtis faithfuls, you ever given Jerry Butler a try ! I must warn you that it may prick that mayfield bubble. Bless

[Savvynlady]

from what I hear, The Impressions were very popular down in Jamaica and other islands. So, not surprised.

[ALLhailBRITANNIA714]

Anybody know that song "ain't nobody hold me down( or now), I got to keep on moving"? I been looking who sing that song but I cant find it...plz help

[bluesoulsound]

@ALLhailBRITANNIA714 Maybe "Break my Stride" by Matthew Wilder? It's on Youtube.

[ALLhailBRITANNIA714]

[tonnyy06]

how many blackmen have to run for their life in jim crow south, to keep his manhood. no one but curtis mayfield could music back then. this is a protest song no it didn't get any air play. bob marley was listening to curtis mayfield and impressions back. it could be from this bob marley was influence to write protect song of his own.

[itsgottobefunky]

Did Curtis sing on Marleys version?

[pharcelle1]

I am finding it very hard to grasp this tune. The music betrays the lyrics.

Its gay and merry, and fails to express the dyer circumstance of a fugitve

who finds himself seperated from a family he loves and wishes to be with.

An original and classic nevertheless.

Bless.

[itsgottobefunky]

@pharcelle1

listen to Burning Spear's Suffer. U dont need to grasp the tune, the tune will grasp U!

They werent trying to express dyer circumstance, they express HOPE and give strength.

Bless

[pharcelle1]

@itsgottobefunky You remind of Jesse Jackson, 'keeping hope alive, which by the way is irrational, as for strength, that's dependent on character.and 'Dig, I was feeling the heat from the 'Spear before you had even had teeth in your mouth.

More Love!

[jennabruce15]

@pharcelle1 thats an astute observation. The musical expressions of oppressed people have often been subversive like this. Heavy socio-political messages under the guise of spritely party tunes. Just another way to mess with the "man's" head - getting the message out without being blackballed or worse.

[RagtimeIrvin]

Bob did it better

[SingDriver101]

How do all you people know this music?? There's so much I haven't explored yet.

[johnxfango]

no sabia ke era de the impressions! curtis genio!!

[shilohbenjahman]

the second verseof one love by bob marley is the last verse of people get ready also written by curtis mayfield... I should say the song is now more associated with the wailers as in bob, bunny and peter...the original vibes

[righteousemusic]

When Curtis was young and just getting his feet wet.

[rbrown674]

great music !!!!!!!!! the drummer worked it

[ladykrisma]

woaoh woaoh i gotta keep on movin

[ayanna1456]

Goes to show how everyone was influenced by eachother even then. A lot of Jamaican music was shaped by R & B and soul hits :-)...

[TheRealCodeBlack]

Yeah. Marley in particular was a huge fan of Curtis Mayfield... though it's hard not to be, Curtis is the master of soul, after all.

[pantertje37]

Soul it is orginal bob marley, big raspect

[ladyrock61]

[tonnyy06]

[tonnyy06]

Curtis Mayfield was blessed as a singer and song writer. He wrote gypsy woman at the age 14. Pure genius.

[Kdees]

PURE GOLD.

[26062030]

really thought wailers originated this but curtis an crew never cease to amaze me woy

[Kdees]

how do u originate something u dont own? its curtis's song, wailers only covered it.

[Gandanga]

First Class ALL the way. No one can touch Curtis. No one!!! Genius. The man had his heart & soul so close & so well aligned, he could literally touch the heart. Thanks Mr Mayfield.
