Question about item

Marva Whitney is a true legend among funk fans for her raw and powerful performances on classic cuts like ‘Unwind Yourself’ a Root Down dancefloor favourite. Along with fellow divas Lyn Collins and Vicki Anderson, Marva made her name singing with the James Brown Revue in the late sixties. In 1969, Marva made her first solo recordings for James Brown’s King label scoring a Top 20 hit on the R&B charts with “It’s My Thing (You Can’t Tell Me Who to Sock It To)“. The follow-up, “Things Got to Get Better (Get Together)” just missed the Top 20 R&B charts. Despite the lack of hits, tracks like the heavily sampled “Unwind Yourself” and the duet “You Got to Have a Job (If You Don’t Work)” helped cement her reputation among record collectors and funk fans worldwide. Her only studio LP, ‘Its My Thing’, was released in 1969 (re-issued recently in the UK by Soul Brother records) and has been heavily bootlegged and sampled by numerous DJs; her ‘Live and lowdown at the Apollo’ LP also commands hefty price tags. The LP was basically a collection of singles Marva recorded with James Brown and his backing group of fine musicians.
