William DeVaughn in the early 70s was a part time singer and
government employee. He wrote a song called "A Cadillac Don't Come
Easy", which was eventually re-written to become "Be Thankful for
What You Got", in 1972. Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in
Philadelphia, the session featured an array of talented members of
the MFSB group.
• The track was eventually released on Roxbury Records, a subsidiary of
Chelsea Records and sold nearly two million copies on its release in
spring 1974, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard R&B chart and No. 4
on the Billboard Hot 100. The track saw two chart entries in the UK,
with the record peaking at #31 (1974) and also #44 (1980), in the UK
Singles Chart.
• With a sound and content influenced by Curtis Mayfield, its simple
and encouraging lyrics hit home, to the extent that it’s become an
enduring soulful, disco hit for music aficionados all over the world.
• Now presented here in a brand new 12” sleeve and backed with the
beautiful Blood Is Thicker Than Water
