William DeVaughn- Be Thankful For What You've Got(Long Version)

I got introduced to Mr.DeVaughn's world through Omar/Erykah Badu's cover of this song back in 2001...

music I grew up with this cut, blasting through speakers on a stereo/tv combo set.

We Are His Children, and Blood Is Thicker Than Water are cuts by DeVaughn I like too.

I got the re-issue of "Figures Can't Calculate & Be Thankful For What You Got" from this website in the UK called We7. I'm unsure if We7 works internationally, but if it does, you can listen to both albums here
