William Devaughn - Be Thankful For What You Got (Black Vinyl)
William DeVaughn's 1974 masterpiece Be Thankful For What You Got is one of the most widely recognised soul releases of the twentieth century, a seminal session recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia with a who's who of superb musical talent - from backing band MFSB to John Davis (of Monster Disco Orchestra fame).
Be Thankful For What You Got would go on to reach number 1 on the US Billboard R&B Charts and 4 in the US Billboard top 100, an ever popular song which has been endlessly sampled and covered, DeVaughn even revamping it in 1980 as a four-to-the-floor disco rendition.
Featuring musicians from MFSB (Larry Washington - percussion, Norman Harris - Guitar, Bobby Eli - Guitar, Vince Montana - Vibraphone, among others) and recorded at the Philadelphia International Records main studio Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, P.A., the music contains that luxurious Philly sound signature; sweeping strings, galloping percussion and tight, soulful arrangements combine to beautiful extents.
Enjoy this limited edition 50th anniversary edition volume, limited to 1,000 copies featuring a fresh liner from Will Fox, and packaged in a newly printed sleeve with an obi and printed inner. Brought to you, with SOUL, from Demon Music Group.
