Great track, she absolutely nails this.... I used to play this a lot when I was doing a soul & blues show on air near Philly 1997-2002..... if my memory is correct she also did a great job with Bobby Patterson's HOW DO YOU SPELL LOVE,

@DVRBS Thanks for commenting/sharing your memories. NIce to see that some other tracks by her are showing up on You Tube & more people are learning about this underrated artist.

Tell Aunt Margie that I still play her record. I was making my own charts out back then, and "Keep On Searching" was my # 1 song for two weeks! I first heard it on WYLD Am in New Orleans.

Had the pleasure of interviewing Margie Alexander a few years ago for UK soul magazine In The Basement. What a treat! Lovely, modest and interesting woman and one of the best singers I've ever heard. I hope she's doing well.
