I see the ode to MARVIN By him laying on the couch singing I was listening to a version of what's going on and he was on it with Marvin so I immediately came to check Him out and this is what I got him paying homage to Marvin

[@LeonG-qs5ip]

I saw the same damn thang! lol… we definitely ol skool … lol

[@laminediallo9014]

I wish he would perform more on these late night shows and award shows. He needs to shine more like Anderson .Paak and Gallant.

If you're from Chicago, be proud. This is so soulful and when he first starts singing he reminds me of D'Angelo. Where have you been all this time?! Glad I found you my brother. I appreciate the music and keep up this amazing work! Definitely a fan!

Good eye. You have to be a lover of Soul 70s music to make the comparison between the two
