Ultimately one of the dopest and most beautiful disco records ever made, Tenderness’ “Gotta Keep On Trying” is the epitome, heart and soul of club music’s lost promise of the 1970’s: uptempo interpretations of the finest american musical tradition to be wrenched from the foul womb of American class society. This is what made disco music live another 8 years post its declared “execution” in the baseball fields of Chicago. A breathtaking, impenetrable and veteran masterpiece that typified the underground dance music aesthetic of its inception. Somehow RCA managed to couch this hit and reduce it to a raregroove obscurity for a subsequent three decades, only to be resurrected, dutifully and righteously, by the hand of DJ Harvey early in his ascendancy. On the A-Side here is provided the definitive edit of his soul music fete, just in time for the suspiciously lacking wintery winds that have yet to pass over us. For all the disco heads, the flip houses the original full disco 12? mix in all its glory.
