Well I was all set to say DustyGroove got it wrong, but it turns out I'm
wrong. Checking the CD I see Erykah Badu is in fact on it. I checked with a
friend of mine (Charles at Dr Wax--a Omar expert) and found out that Angie
Stone was SUPPOSED to end cover for Ms Badu, but in the end wasn't needed (I
don't know if she ever recorded anything...). So Erykah Badu is on the
album. My bad.

The local HMV still hasn't received any copies of this (they're so behind on
everything), but I read this at Dustygroove: "Includes a version of "Be
Thankful For What You Got", done as a duet with Erykah Badu". Are there two
different CD versions? Or has Dustygroove got it wrong?
