Premium Stuff Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Another sad loss - and a well, well underrated talent R.I.P Marva. Here's the thumping Detroit-related flip-side to the incredible track above. Richard Edited December 24, 2012 by Premium Stuff 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yes, yet another sad loss ..... RIP Marva ............ I bought a UK Polydor LP as a new release back in 1968 ...... .. it's titled 'Soul Seller' and just features James Brown related King stuff. Marva has two tracks that were included on the album & I've loved her stuff ever since. Lots of the tracks included on the album are more deep soul than funk styled cuts... ... this one from Marva falls into that bag .. "If You Love Me" ....

Anais nin Carms Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Sad to hear along with Jimmy two great artists have gone so close to Christmas it must be very sad for their familys . Marva inspired me to listen to funk , a lady with such poke and energy in the material she released i put forward Unwind yourself as my pick of Marva's talent to get you moving Edited December 24, 2012 by Anais nin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Marva has been working on her autobiography for about 2 years now, in conjunction with a UK book publisher (Bankhouse Books). They were just incorporating an update on her recent work & adding the last few photos, the book would then have been ready to launch. Hope it still comes out.

Dave2 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Always loved 'Ball of Fire'. Vocals have it all. Soft mellow sweetness, turning to powerful siren in an instant. RIP Marva Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Very Sad loss indeed My favourite and IMHO the Queen of funky soul ! Always loved her version of "Ball of fire " This is also one of my favourites from her. However, it has one minor flaw. It may not be so obvious in this clip, but it is when I play my record. The intro horns are much louder than the rest of the song. Anyways, that does not keep me from playing Edited December 26, 2012 by Preben Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
