Be thankful for what you('ve) got

A song that fits this sunny Saturday. William DeVaughn's voice is smooth, with the backing vocals. It's got a valuable message lyrically, and a sick groovy vibe that's a perfect lead up to a great night. And it made an impression on other artistes early, with Curtis Mayfield leading the pack.


The first cover I listened to was by Massive Attack. Be thankful for what you've got was released on Blue Lines, the band's debut album. The differences are subtle, and you'd have to listen closely to spot them.



And that song was remixed by Paul Oakenfold. Keeping the vibe intact, but still managing to make a good remix.


Every now and then, I hope to be able to share with you these little trips that music makes, from one artiste to another, and see how it changes along the way.
