<P> `` I 'll Keep Holding On '' is a song composed by Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter and recorded by Motown singing group The Marvelettes , who released the single on the Tamla imprint in 1965 . Peaking at # 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 ( and # 11 on the R&B charts ) , the single returned the group to the top forty after a year recording songs that performed below the top forty . This was among the first A-side singles that longtime Marvelettes member Wanda Young sung lead on . Before 1965 , the majority of the leads in Marvelettes songs had belonged to original member Gladys Horton . The single features a woman determined to win the love of an unknowingly conquest telling him that she 'll convince him to love her `` until my will to resist is gone '' . Her Marvelettes band mates Gladys Horton and Katherine Anderson egg her on with her ad - libbing `` oh yeah / sho ' nuff '' in the bridge leading up to the chorus . The single was covered by British mod - pop act , The Action in 1966 , released as `` I 'll Keep On Holding On '' . It then returned across the Atlantic in 1998 to be released on Mink Rat or Rabbit by the Detroit Cobras . </P>
