It still creeps me out whenever I see the day he was born and the dayhe died. Very chilling.
Thanks for posting.
I remember the exact place and moment when I heard this news. I was in another land at the time and thought I was hearing an April Fools. It was for real.
Marvin went against the advice of the record company to record this song. They thought the song would be a flop, to their suprise it sold like wildfire. The song was what was needed at that time.
So, what happened to R&B songs like these?
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
