BACK IN THE DAY!.......2007-05-11

THE SONGS ON THIS CD ARE JUST AS RELEVANT TODAY AS WHEN THEY WERE FIRST HEARD. WE STILL GET CAUGHT UP IN THE GROOVE TO "BE THANKFUL" WHENEVER WE HAVE FAMILY GATHERINGS. THE "KIDS", WHO ARE NOW IN THEIR THIRTIES, START SWAYING JUST LIKE US. I RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE CLASSIC SOUL.

Be Thankful for What You Got.......2007-02-03

Finally, the original version of "Be Thankful." One of the first rip-offs that happened to me on Amazon was to buy an import album (CD) containing the song ($20+US). I found out the hard way that the song was a sort-of remix. It sucked - and I was totally mad. Well, my lesson learned was to patiently wait for this album to come out and get it at a good price. Five stars for a classy (soul) artist and his work!

Old soul.......2007-01-10

I'd been looking for one particular song, the title song for years. The rest of the album is interesting, but this song is the main reason I bought it.

Don't Get Me Wrong.......2004-03-13

but be thankful was the only song on this album that i was feeling. the story i heard about this song was that they used to have ads in the paper saying "come down to our studio and if we like your song we'll record it for $50". they liked be thankful and that's how it got cut. without a doubt one of my favorite songs of all time but i think that was all he had...

The Sound of Philly Meets The Sound of Curtis.......2001-06-07

As the story goes, on more than one occasion, when William DeVaughan's grooves would hit the air waves, people would actually start going into record stores asking the clerk, "Yeah, gimme that new Curtis Mayfield record they've been playing on the radio." - - The comparison goes without saying, and although DeVaughan did write and sing like Curtis, his songs stood out in their own right too - - in fact I believe the Impressions actually covered a few... all in all, this is a great mix of the Philly Sound (where most the tracks came out of) and the Curtom sound... and definitely, if you're a lover of sweet (but bumpin') soul, you can't get much better than that. (Favorite track by the way - - Give The Little Man a Great Big Hand, and You Gave Me A Brand New Start... though come to think of it, I like 'em all !) - - Hmmmm ,suddenly I'm in the mood for some Willie Hutch !

I'm not thankful, either..........2005-10-07

I must agree with Mr. Casey's review. I paid IMPORT (>$20.00) for this CD and was bitterly disappointed that the song "Be Thankful for what you got" was a remix - not the original product. Fortunately, I already had a copy of the original on a Various Artists' greatest hits CD. But still, I'm out $20+. So, beware and read this before you buy!!!! Three stars...

Be Thankful - but not for this remix.......2005-02-14

Bought for the wonderful "Be Thankful...." but I am not thankful for what I got. Didn't want a remix by someone called David Todd - I thought I was buying the original mix. No mention on the listing that this wasn't the orig. David, stick to the day job (unless that's remixing classics). Grrrrrrrrrrrr

Truly a classic!.......2001-05-24

This album is simply superb. William de Vaughn is a very underrated singer and deserves much more commercial success.

I'm still looking for a copy of his great 'Creme de Creme' track - WHEN will that be available on CD?!?

VERY SOULFUL.......2000-08-11

Be ThankFul for What you Got is Still A Jam.Very Curtis Mayfield Inspired but MR.Vaughn has Chops.His Voice Maintains Feeling.He is Very Soulful all the way through.He Does A Good Solid Take On SAM COOKE's You Send Me.He Handles Different Musical Styles With Ease.

NOT Thankful for What I Got.......2007-03-16

This is not the version of "Be Thankful for What You Got" that you looking for.
Trust Me.
They are very clever they put two versions on this CD,
and neither one was original. (WHY I ask myself!)
If ya like disco, then buy this version.
If you looking for the REAL classic version, its available on
Amazon just keep looking and listen to the sample and
read the follow up reviews.

(Note: The other review on here is deceptive)

Very truthfull of life, peaceful, inspirational, excellent.......1999-11-10

This album my husband & I have loved since the 70's. Never before have I enjoyed an album from start to finish as much. A true classic example of what life has to offer, & how to enjoy it. Al Green shares the same passion in my opinion, another artist we enjoy. This album touches on so many things, gangs, family, God, appreciating what we have, even inspiring us to keep going. I have introduced this artist with this album to friends, & they all seem to agree, if they at all know how to "Be thankful for what "they" got" Too bad he doesn't record any longer. Our thanks to William for sharing this collection,that we have enjoyed.
