Keep On Running - Spencer Davis Group (Cover by M.A.W.)
I recently had a phone call with my oldest friend. We have known each other for over 60 years. Harald was a founding member of my very first band in 1966 and played bass. We exchanged memories and talked about times long gone. Suddenly and unexpectedly, Harald asked me if I could still sing “Keep on Running” the way I did when I was 14 years old. You have to know that Steve Winwood was my favorite singer at the time and I tried to imitate him as closely as possible. And of course this song was on our cover playlist. I said to Harald, I don't think I can do it, but I'll try and added, I've already made a fool of myself for less, so I accepted the challenge. I made myself a more pleasing backing track with a hammond organ,( it's a pity that steve first used the organ on „I'm a man“ and „Gimme some lovin'“. It would have been a great fit here too). That's how it turned out. I hope you like it.
