Marva Whitney - It's My Thing

1LP Vinyl - VAMPI 329

Marva Whitney’s “It’s My Thing” dropped in 1969 and has since become a touchstone of funk.

From the explosive opening of ‘It’s My Thing’—a bold response to the Isley Brothers’ ‘It’s Your Thing’—Marva channels sheer intensity, backed by a band that doesn’t let up. The pace briefly softens with ‘If You Love Me,’ a soul-soaked ballad in the spirit of Otis Redding, before diving back into the rhythmic grit of tracks like ‘Unwind Yourself.’

Decades later, “It’s My Thing” continues to inspire, sampled by producers and treasured by collectors—a powerful snapshot of funk at its most uncompromising. 180g vinyl reissue.
