"It's Not What You Got It's How You Use It" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Carrie Lucas

• "It's Not What You Got It's How You Use It" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Carrie Lucas

Carrie Lucas made a big dent in the history of disco music by creating a soulful and ageless sound with her light-fell good vocal - this was also achieved by using ensembles like The Whispers as backup.

"It's Not What You Got It's How You Use It" is a track from 1980 that kept the flow of disco music moving during desperate times. It is still referred to as one of the most beautiful and lyrical dance tracks that may not be on every list - but that is what makes it special.


Produced by Leon Sylvers II and Dick Griffey (Carrie's husband) for Solar - this ReStructure was formulated with a Calypso style in mind - dedicated to Lucas fans everywhere.

This is my number 1 Carrie Lucas favourite - even ahead of Keep Dancin'/Smilin' - which is also fabulous! (I was never as keen on Dance With You). The infectious melody and tinkling piano had me from the first play, and still sound great. Thanks for keeping that 'tinkling' up front in this great rework! Nick
