William DeVaughn - Be Thankful for What You Got

OK, maybe I drive a great big Cadillac, but that does not mean that I cannot get down with William De Vaughn on this classic. Shoot, you could make a case against this even being a Jingle Jam, but I like it a little bit too much to exclude it.

"Be Thankful for What You Got" was regarded as one of the best songs of all-time. Sadly, DeVaughn did not expand much further than this single. However, the song has lasted through the ages, being referred to and covered by a number of artists, including Aretha Franklin, P-Funk and Massive Attack.


In any case, it is hard not to enjoy the original and the sweet chorus that goes with it:
"Diamond in the back, sunroof top//
Diggin’ the scene//
With a gangsta lean//
Gangsta whitewalls//
TV antennas in the back//"
