Marvin will always be my No. 1 favorite singer. If you haven't seen it before, kindly check out the live performance of Sexual Healing below. One of the most emotional and mesmerizing moments in music right there; the way he yearned and pleaded was so genuine it's unbelievable, in particular those "baby" parts. Just kills me everytime. It's the little moments like these that remind us why we fell in love with music in the first place.
