Be Thankful For What You Got (part 1 and part 2)
Back in...Black vinyl copies sounds nice. All-time soul / rare groove classic.
“Diamond in the back / Sunroof top / Digging the scene with the gangster lean" - Does it get any smoother than that? Stick this record on and get lost in that effortless bassline, sensual guitar licks, coupled with DeVaughn's silky vocals and you'll be right there kicking back in the Cadillac. Often sampled by the likes of NWA and De La Soul and covered multiple times, most notably on Massive Attack's debut album.
On the B-side you're treated to 'Blood Is Thicker Than Water', DeVaughn's first single giving a taste of the masterfully stylish soul he was to carry throughout his career.
