Hi, I'm new on here but this thread caught my attention. The one LP that I posses by Martha is Gotta Keep Movin' (Fantasy 1980) & the 3 choons that hit me every time are the Lamont Dozier penned/produced, Really Like Your Rap & the two disco stormers, Gotta Keep Movin' & Then You Came. ...Quality! Keep Feelin' Jester. | ||

I thought it was well produced, good lyric & melody...and she felt it.It came across good over the car radio.Martha wrote it.Too bad Arista did not promote, it was their bad. | ||
