Average review:  4.0/5.0 (20 reviews) I agree with the last review .... it's a shame that this single hit #1 Billboard Magazine's Hot Club Play Chart and stayed there for two weeks, and the people behind the track (not Tony or Martha)chose to not put out an 'official' CD or do a video....
Martha's the Queen of Clubland and deserves a lot more respect that this....
Keep in mind that it's not necessarily Tony's doing though... I know if it was his choice, there would have been a video, commercial release and a lot more promotion behind this one...
The mixes on this CD are fantastic... I like the Bassmonkey's mixes the best... (R.N., 2/6/2008 see all my reviews >> )
I was not a fan of the original mix on the Event that stayed true to the old Kleeer disco track from 1978...it just didn't flow with the rest of the album. Absolutely love tony and warren's "work that diva out" mix though! shame it's a cdr though-this song was #1 for two weeks and deserved an official cd single release as promised by perfectbeat (Joey Benitez, 1/23/2008 see all my reviews >> )
This song is amazing! Martha Wash! That voice! WOW! And there are some great mixes on here. Tony Moran/Warren Rigg, Tony Pepe, Bassmonkeys, Rod Carillo etc...... (D.W., 10/18/2007 see all my reviews >> )
I love it! I immediately hit it off with the "Bassmonkeys Club Mix", closely followed by the "Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Work That Diva Out Mix" and "Ray Roc & C. Rosillo Dub (?) Mix". This MASSIVE Dance song does work on me! Did I mention the voice? THE voice! Martha Wash!the one and only (W.F., 10/3/2007 see all my reviews >> )
Tony's Zoo Mix is funky, fresh, and unforced.
It will stick with you long after the other mixes.
A nice change of pace. (scottyB, 9/25/2007 see all my reviews >> )
It's kinda curious that this old "bath house" song has been re-worked. Even more curiously, it still has a dirty sexy vibe to it. I'm all in favor of that. If you can't find a mix that works for you, you're not trying hard enough. The Moran & Rigg Work That Diva Out mix puts Martha Wash front and center--where she belongs!

It is great to hear Martha Wash's incredible voice in dance
music again! She is extremely talented! I really love the Ralph Rosario remix very funky! All remixes are great!

A fresh new song for the DIVA of dance. Amazing!!! (Danny Morris, 9/19/2007 see all my reviews >> )
This is an awesome song with a GREAT HOOK... "Funk funk... funky music ... you got it!".
It's going to be a hit!
Love it! (R.N., 9/15/2007 see all my reviews >> )
I LOVE almost all mixs. Good job! The best mix is "Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Work That Diva Out Mix" ;-) (Yecin, 9/13/2007 see all my reviews >> )
the Tony zoo mix and club are pretty good,not his best work but its still better than most in quality of production and at least his shit has melody in it which lacks today in house with all the beeps and bleeps its nice to hear actual music to a beat,over all its worth a listen,you might like it,I did. (A.p., 1/29/2008 see all my reviews >> )
I think the Brassmonkey's mix is the best, followed by the Ray Roc & C. Rosillo mix, and the Work That Diva Out mix. I think the first 2 are more suited for most dance floors. The Zoo mix is ok, but Ralphi's mix is just blah. Overall not a bad selection of mixes. (R.R., 10/27/2007 see all my reviews >> )
I like it! This one works for me more than Walk Away. (R.R., 9/29/2007 see all my reviews >> )
I really enjoy the Bassmonkeys version, I think we should keep an eye on those remixers in the future...Dee M (C.M., 9/29/2007 see all my reviews >> )
This single has a great selection of mixes - one to suit almost every taste - but I agree with B.S. that, for me, the Ray Roc & C. Rosillo Mixshow Mix of "Keep Your Body Workin'" works the best. (W.A., 9/13/2007 see all my reviews >> )
 You know, I never really liked this song from the first time I heard it on Tony's comp The Event recently. It's just a bit sleepy and slow for me---Tony's Zoo mix is the one on the compilation. While Tony and Warren's "work this diva out" mix has more NRG, I'm just not feeling this song. I think it's a bit overrated---just b/c Martha Wash is back. Granted, her pipes are still clear as ever and I'm not knockin' the lady 'cause she can still sing. Ray Rock and C. Rosillo actually turn out the best mix of this track IMO. I wish these tracks were available as individual downloads. (B.S., 9/13/2007 see all my reviews >> )
Martha Wash vocal is awesome; The remixes are good; The song is just OK -- DJ X. (P.H., 9/13/2007 see all my reviews >> )
 OK, you take Tony Moran then add Martha Wash and you get "A HIT"! Sounds like simple math but it must be a trick question.
Not to bash, but what is going on with the Tony Moran releases lately? With the exception of Tony & Kristine W's "Walk Away" none of the singles recently released are of great quality. And Again, with the exception of "Walk Away" his camp doesn't even bother to have good mixes or even CD artwork available.
For what they charge at the door for a Tony Moran "Event", I am starting to feel we are being cheated. Are the fans and music not that important anymore? (D.J., 12/25/2007 see all my reviews >> )
 Eh.. nothing special, song doesnt stick out that much. (o.a., 11/15/2007 see all my reviews >> )
I enjoyed Tony's compilation, and still listen to it nearly every week, but I habitually skip this song with Marsha Wash. I was disappointed to see Tony's camp giving this song energy as a maxi single, when there are SO many better songs on The Event to promote, like the indelible "Freedom" by Nicki Richards and "Rock Into Your Soul" with Lisa Lisa.
Keep Your body Workin' falls flat. As much as I love Tony and his work, this one was a mistake to release as a single. It's the kind of song that no one will remember the melody or lyrics within a couple of months after it's release. Yuck ;(
Still love you Tony!! (D.G., 9/13/2007 see all my reviews >> )
