It's Valentine's Week as well as Black History month, so this song fits both.
A beautiful duet performed by two of the industry's finest.
Both, however, left us too soon.
Marvin was shot to death by his father.
Mary lost a battle to throat cancer after a lifelong struggle with illness.
But it was their lives, not their deaths, that were most remarkable.
Both rose from the inner-city projects to become successful musicians.
Both were responsible for bringing "black music" to popularity.
(I've always hated the term "black music". Music has no color.)
The song itself speaks to my life with Wifey aka Rosie.
"I never knew what love could do til I met you."
I love you!
