Women's Month Digging - Digging To Get Money

Women's Month Digging - Digging To Get Money 

 I won't even say anything... Just listen to this tune from 1980.  Shout out to Erykah, Kim, and everyone else.

Women's Month Digging - Digging While We Do It

Women's Month Digging - Digging While We Do It  

In celebration of Women's Month, this under the radar cut was made by Carol Douglas who didn't have that many hits, but laid out some funky R&B back in the 70s and 80s. This particular song was used by Nas on his Street Disciple CD. I like how they used it, but I really like the original. Here is Carol Douglas saying "We Do It"...

Women's Month Digging - Thinking While You Dig

Women's Month Digging - Thinking While You Dig 

Ever wondered where the phrase "use what you got, to get what you want" came from? This 1972 cut produced by the one and only James Brown features the Female Preacher herself Lyn Collins and she breaks it on down. JB wanted her to be called Soul Sister #1 and who could deny her after this cut. Here is Soul Sister #1 telling women to Think!

Lyn Collins - Think!

Women's Month Digging - Digging up Flowers

Women's Month Digging - Digging up Flowers 

 For some reason, I love the Emotions. I can't get their grooves out of my head sometimes. We brought you in the Blind Alley  a while back, but this time, we have what we call a "background groove"... one of those jams you just play in the background while you're cleaning up on a Sunday afternoon.

Women's Month Digging - Digging For My Thang

Women's Month Digging - Digging For My Thang

From the James Brown camp, Marva Whitney blew up the spot with this funky cut.  She took a hot track and screamed her way to tell everyone that it's her thing, which is a remake of the popular "It's Your Thang" song that was sang by The Isleys, EU/Salt & Pepper,  and a few others.  You might hear the intro to an NWA song about cussing the police or Public Enemy Bringing The Noise in there but hey that's what DCD brings you... that Thang!!  Enjoy!
