When Tammi could no longer perform on stage, Marvin fulfilled a few contractual obligations with Barbara Randolph and a singer named Ann Bogan. "She went on-stage and tried to outsing him," Elgie Stover says of the latter somewhat ruefully, as Bogan was drafted at his suggestion. "She tried to steal the show! She was a church girl, and she got a little too happy. She went jumpin' and hoppin' across the stage like Patti Labelle, and then she got to shoutin'. She just left him standing there, looking around."
