William DeVaughn - Be Thankful For What You Got

William DeVaughn — Be Thankful For What You Got

His 1974 soul-funk masterpiece featuring the famous title track!

Also includes the singles "Give The Little Man A Great Big Hand," and "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" 

140-gram vinyl with printed inner sleeve

One of the undisputed masterpieces LPs of 70s soul! William De Vaughn may never be remembered for anything else — and the poor guy will always be mistaken for Curtis Mayfield by record shoppers everywhere — but he really out-Curtised Curtis on the super-dope original version of "Be Thankful For What You Got," one of those righteous soul tunes that everybody knows, everybody loves, but which was recorded by an artist that nobody can remember.

Get this one, and you'll remember William De Vaughn as a genius for the rest of your life — not only for the full 7-minute version of "Be Thankful", which has a great conga breakdown in the middle, but also for other original tunes such as "Blood is Thicker than Water," "You Can Do It," and "Give the Little Man a Great Big Hand." Very righteous, and with a deep soul groove that was hardly matched by other albums of the era!
