Diamond in the back / Sunroof top...
... Diggin' the scene / With a gangster lean / Ooooh...
William DeVaughn was basically a one hit wonder, but what a hit, huh? He was a Washington D.C. government employee with a part-time interest in performing music, and basically came up with this song, saved his pennies, and went and recorded it (with an ace backing band). Not too shabby. I, as probably most of you did, first heard this song through Massive Attack's very faithful cover on Blue Lines, and then picked this original up as part of a big-ass box set, which I won in a silent auction at some fundraiser thingy (best 50 bucks I ever spent, music wise). Enjoy.
Words to live by, folks, fo' real.
