News: R.i.p. Marvin Junior - The Mighty Mighty Dells


Recommended Posts


Knowing he was ill, I was dreading waking up to this news one day.

An incredible vocal talent, the like of which is extremely unlikely to be surpassed.

Sympathy to his family and friends, what a sad day for our music.

In hindsight, had I needed to I would have paid a King's ransome to witness them at Trentham.

R.I.P. Marvin Junior

You win some, you lose some; I've lost and I've learned

It's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn
And here at the end, I find...the love we had stays on my mind

 

I never, never will forget you

Goodbye Marvin Junior

The vocal and production on "it's all up to you" awesome and what a performance at Trentham Gardens.,one of the best soul groups of all time.

RIP Marvin your voice will be sadly missed by all.

'Its all up to you' is my favourite track by them, it just has everything. Stunning piece of music. RIP Marvin, you've left some legacy

Unfortunately I think Chuck Barksdale is very ill as well, this is indeed a sad time for all but I hope Chuck recovers from his illness 

 

The Mighty Mighty Dells - wish I could have seen them more than the once at Trentham
