William DeVaughn's 1974 masterpiece 'Be Thankful gor 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. 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. Blended with DeVaughn's socially conscious and semi-religious lyrical content, the music culminates in something very special; soulful, heartfelt and funky, underscored by a deep and effortless pocket and an enduring message of positivity and resilience in the face of social and financial hardships. 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.
