"Keep On Truckin'" is a 1973 hit song recorded by Eddie Kendricks for Motown Records' Tamla label. The clavinet-featuring song was Kendricks' first major hit as a solo artist, coming 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 solo hit.[3] It also reached #18 on the UK Charts.[4] Vibes are played by Gary Coleman.

That's how we got "Keep On Truckin'," arguably the first disco record ever to hit #1...As much as Kendricks didn't like that Norman Whitfield psychedelic-soul sound, "Keep On Truckin'" is basically a weaponized version of that...
