NF Porter - Keep On Keeping On

Novelty value. ^
This NS song by Nolan Porter (1971) was to be an early Joy Division cover for RCA records.

That Keep On Keeping On is a great track, really enjoyed it. Damn why can't I just listen one genre and then I would'nt miss out on anything then!

'Keeping On Keeping on' is the title of single? The artist is 'Nolan Porter'?

Yes...and yes.
Nolan Porter is credited as NF Porter on the record.
I'm almost certain it was a B side.

Sensing a kind of desperate drive in these recordings,
Tony Wilson signed Joy Division to his new label and the group began working
with Strawberry Studio engineer Martin Hannett.
But not before a curious interlude. They fell in with Northern Soul DJ Richard
Searling who wanted them to record a cover of N. F. Porter's Northern Soul
classic "Keep On Keeping On" - which he planned to sell to the TK label, at the
time part of RCA. "We tried to do it but we're fucking hopeless at cover
versions," recalls Sumner. "We did do it in a way," says Hook. "We learnt the
riff - that's as far as we could get - and we used it on 'Interzone'."

60's r&b open the door for 70's soul which
took over popular music like grunge and hip hop of the 90's did.

By the early 1970s, soul music had been influenced by psychedelic rock and other genres. The social and political ferment of the times inspired artists like Marvin ***e and Curtis Mayfield to release album-length statements with hard-hitting social commentary. Artists like James Brown led soul towards funk music, which became typified by 1970s bands like Parliament-Funkadelic and The Meters. More versatile groups like War, the Commodores and Earth, Wind and Fire became popular around this time. During the 1970s, some slick and commercial blue-eyed soul acts like Philadelphia's Hall & Oates and Oakland's Tower of Power achieved mainstream success, as did a new generation of street-corner harmony or city-soul groups like The Delfonics and Howard University's Unifics. By the end of the 1970s, disco and funk were dominating the charts. Philly soul and most other soul genres were dominated by disco-inflected tracks. During this period, groups like The O'Jays and The Spinners continued to turn out hits.

the high numbers, here t'is, leaving here, zoot suit, i'm the face, brilliant r&b from early who, the quality was allways there, pity there wasn't more r&b by the band in this great raw bluesy mood..

This from 1966 which enjoyed some popularity as a dancer at the Wigan Casino.
Not a particular favourite of mine, but it's an interesting tune and something of a classic.
Ron Grainer did a version (someone Urban should be aware of) along with several theme tunes for TV...Joe 90, The Prisoner and Tales of the Unexpected, among others.

This is a classic from the 70s. Isley Brothers-"Fight The Power".
