WILLIE HUTCH - USE WHAT YOU GOT

From Dallas Texas, Willie Hutch(inson) moved to Los Angeles shortly after high school and (while not a household name) had a very successful career.

Around 1967, Willie began working with hit makers The 5th Dimension, and also found some of his original tunes covered by Motown artists (including the massive hit "I'll Be There" by the Jackson Five). In the 70's, Willie's name was attached to the soundtracks of some classic blaxploitation films, "The Mack" being the most famous of the bunch.

This excellent single was released under his own name right around the time he was in the early stages of his songwriting career, and finds him in excellent, powerful voice with some fabulous musical backing behind him.

from 1968...
