BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU'VE GOT * DONOVAN CARLESS * TROPICAL 031 * UK

Donovan Carless had kind of an apt name for this song! Produced by Clive Chin and issued in JA on his Giant label this fine cover of the Soul song written and first recorded by William DeVaughn holds it's own against the original, and Bunny Clark's Lee Perry production, as well as the many other cover versions both Soul and Reggae. 

The moral of the song, though both obvious and simple, is worth hearing over and over again as the years pass by, as it's a truism that is often lost sight of.
