Her singles Unwind Yourself and It’s My Thing are of prime importance where hip hop is concerned. DJ Mark the 45 King used the former to make the hip hop classic 900 Number.
It’s My Thing was sampled numerous times to make numerous hip hop classic songs. One that I can draw from memory is Big Daddy Kane’s Mister Cee’s Master Plan. See if you can identify where it is used.
I found a reissue of the classic album where those singles are found and it has found its way onto many a playlist of mine in 2012. For my purposes, it was a strategic way of playing James Brown’s production under the radar and to give the soul sister a spotlight.
In this computer age, I am able to not only see what she looked like but what she looked like while performing as well.
Marva Whitney died in December 2012.
