Gwen McCrae - ‘Keep The Fire Burning’
The disco era was a prime time for love-focused dance tracks and Gwen McCrae’s ‘Keep The Fire Burning’ is one that reflects the essence of that time period. With an infectious bassline lying at its foundation, McCrae delivers a ballad addressing the notion that love is something that needs constant attention, as the title says, to keep the fire burning. Although McCrae is more known for her R&B work, ‘Keep The Fire Burning’ is as effective on the dancefloor as any funk infused disco track and is a critically acclaimed, timeless gem. It reminds us: “You gotta work on your love, you gotta give it all you've got”.
