Shake Another Tail Feather
God, this album is good. So good I felt the need to post another track. Marv Johnson began his career singing with a doo-wop group called the Serenaders in the mid 1950s before being discovered by Berry Gordy while performing at a carnival and then recording his first single for Gordy's fledgling Tamla label in 1959. After the single took off locally, Gordy leased it to United Artists for national distribution and the rest, as they say, is history.
Wonderful voice, Marv should have been a Motown headliner but hey ain't that always the way..
