  • Artist

    Love

Love - Be Thankful for What You Got (1974)

A cool cover of William DeVaughn’s classic by Arthur Lee and company. 


Post Forever Changes Arthur and the band when the original line up went their separate ways and this proved frustrating and not a little disappointing but here on the album Reel To Real (ever the fan of the pun) he proved he could turn his covers and voice to any singing style he chose.For Sail seemed pub rock heavy but this is soul at its greatest and matched and unequaled amongst the pantheon of soul bands (IMHO) . . . . . .
