What are some of your favorite lesser known songs by Marvin?

Once the company moved to Los Angeles in the early 70s the magic...

Every time I hear this come on the radio, for a second or two I always think it's an 80s Stevie song

Just has that sound to it

really could/should be a motown sound copycats box set
