Marva | | Whitney sang in the James Brown Revue from 1967 to 1969, and in 1969 | | she released this record. Not only did Brown produce but he wrote or | | co-wrote most of the tracks and it basically sounds like a James | | Brown record with a female singer. A tough, aggressive female singer. | | Marva sounds like she could take any comers and leave them shaking in | | their go-go boots. | | | | From the opening blast of "It's My Thing, Pt. 1 and "Pt. 2," a | | rewrite of the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing, she shouts, exhorts, | | wails, and basically lets it all hang out as the band lays down | | groove after groove. Thankfully after four exhausting tracks, Marva | | slows it down with "If You Love Me," an Otis Redding-style | | broken-hearted ballad. After an instrumental break she jumps right | | back into the funky fray with "Unwind Yourself," which features a | | classic horn line and some gritty vocalizing from Marva. The rest of | | the record follows this pattern of a couple of stompers and a | | ballad. | | | | The highlight of the record is "I'm Tired I'm Tired I'm Tired (Things | | Better Change Before It's Too Late)," a funky (yes, every track on | | this disc is funky) lament that details just how tired Marva is of | | society putting her down. Check out Brown going wild in the | | background about halfway through the song. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
