Be Thankful For What You’ve Got Riddim – Unknown Label

Be Thankful For What You’ve Got Riddim – Unknown Label lands in 1973 as a Lee Scratch Perry production with Anthony Brightly attached, and it draws on a small four-tune set that balances vocal cuts and dub pressure. Bunny Clarke’s Be Thankful and The Upsetters’ Dubbing In The Back Seat carry the core of the riddim, while Pure Silk and Singing Melody’s 1992 revisit brings the tune back into a later dancehall era. The foundation itself is rooted in William DeVaughn’s Be Thankful for What You’ve Got, which gives the package its soulful, reflective feel even as Perry’s handling pushes it into a darker Jamaican groove.
