Vanilla Fudge Performs “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” And You Won’t Be Able To Let Go

You Just Keep Me Hangin’ On

In 1967, Vanilla Fudge covered one of the most famous Supremes songs of all time, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and it changed the world.

Changing up the vocals with more of a rock n roll twang and slower tempo, Mark Stein destroys this Motown classic with his own soul and pristine vocals.

“Set me free why don’t cha babe? Get out my life why don’t cha babe? ‘Cause you don’t really love me, you just keep me hangin’ on.”

Playing the Ed Sullivan show with awesome, psychedelic backdrops, Vanilla Fudge really brings their own sound to this song with the iconic Carmen Appice killing it on the drums.

Interesting Fact: Carmine was John Bonham of Led Zeppelin’s biggest inspiration musically.

In perfect, remastered quality, enjoy this awesome live performance of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by the timeless Vanilla Fudge.

+ You Keep Me Hangin’ On Lyrics +

Set me free
Why don’t you babe?
Get off my life
Why don’t you babe?

You really don’t want me
You just keep me hangin’ on
You really don’t need me
You just keep me hangin’ on

Why do you keep comin’ around
Playing with my heart?
Why don’t you get out of my life
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?

And there ain’t nothing
I can do about it

You know I need love
(Set me free, why don’t you babe?)
Talkin ’bout love
(Get off my life, why don’t you babe?)

You really don’t want me
You just keep me hangin’ on

Get off my life
Why don’t you babe?
Get off my life
Why don’t you babe?
