Friday Night Throwback: Eddie Kendricks - "Keep On Truckin"

Ex-Temptations co-lead singer Eddie Kendricks finally found his footing as a solo artist with 1973's "Keep On Truckin'". The song, written and produced by frequent collaborator Frank Wilson, featured grooves that were clearly aimed at the dance floor and was arguably the first-recorded and released disco hit record. "Keep On "Truckin'" was the lead single from Kendricks 3rd solo album Eddie Kendricks, and came two years two years after his departure from The Temptations. "Keep On Truckin'" reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles Chart upon its release, and was Kendricks' only number-one hit.
