Marvin deserves one but then you could say the same about cats like Al Green and Sam Cooke too. All of them have stories that these young cats should hear so they can know more than just the music from these legends.

I'm pretty sure there's a TV movie with Jesse Martin in the works. He certainly can pull off looking like Marvin, at least.


A decade ago yes ...but now he is too old. Gonna need a younger lead or Jamie Foxx hairline magic:

Sparking blunts in the shade.
Marvin is my favorite artist ever but I think I’m being objective when I say that his life and I mean the well known polished image and the real shyt:usure: on film done right would be one of the best ever. It’d have to be a mini series IMO there’s just too much gold however tainted a lot of it might be. But who knows when we’ll get to see it because of the mile of red tape around his legacy.

Even with all the behind the scene fukkery with Marvin’s legacy I still believe I’ll be able to watch this with my kids one day.

Can't do it now with all this surviving R. Kelly stuff (he was with a 16 yr old think they had kids too), and then there is the Marlon Brando rumors the Quincy Jones talked about. I dont think it would come out right because they would put that stuff in it or get hate for leaving it out. That being said I cant wait for the Sam Cooke documentary.
