MARVA WHITNEYAlthough she's not a household name, Marva Whitney is fondly remembered by funk devotees
as one of the rawest, brassiest, most powerful divas the music ever produced.
Along with fellow funk belters Lyn Collins and Vicki Anderson, Whitney made her name
singing with the James Brown Revue for a few years, and her limited, much-sampled
recordings for Brown-associated labels now fetch astronomical sums on the collector's market

Like any disc produced by James Brown and featuring the mighty JB's as a backing group,
It's My Thing is a stone-cold funky record. 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...(AllMusic)
