Your Love Was Good For Me by Marva Whitney

[andcarl85]

does anyone know if she's lipsyncing or not? if so, does anyone have that recording, perhaps with a little better sound quality?

[thevincentbub]

[worm082]

Hef banged her after the show.

[oneeyedstar]

This moves me so. Reaches the soul.

[fayedunawayfan]

I have never seen anything quite like this one. Blows me away, such power and soul she has.. This is worth bottling.

[phrayzar]

Dammmnnn!!!

[DUNAWAYFAYE]

Astounding! What a breathtaking voice.

[moscowandy]

Thanks for posting! Only thing I feel a little pity for is the sound quality - was not it possible to connect audio out plug directly to recording device? ))

[littlebillysunshine]

pure perfection.

[djmrbrown00]

WHAT A VOICE...

[cqsr63]

So this is how an angel sounds........

Thank You Jesus!

[Buckeyecat2002]

And she was a damned fine ass woman too!!!!  She still looks and sounds great.

[jamersonshook]

So good! Thanks!!

[xTheChristionx]

glorious hehe

[shellbert99]

Amazing - can't believe I'm going to get to see her live at in May in Kendal!!! along with Bettye LaVette later in the month at the Women's Arts International Festival if you're interested - check it out, great line-up

[TooDarnSoulful]

wonderful voice

[SoulTooSoul]

Marva was at her best, singing her heart out through a ballad. Yes, Marva was one of James Brown's great female vocalist. She was one of the neo funk soul sisters. This was Marva in her element, no pretense, just pure emotion.

[yserrant]

DAMN!

DAMN DAMN DAMN!

[Tchalla77]

Soul Sista No 1.This little ladae could sing, and is definately more than a mere prodigy of the Godfather of Soul.All you soulless,r'n b MTV Base hoochy mamas take note of what real music and singing is about.Being sexy ain't about runnin' round in a camisole & flashing ya booty!

[trentallen87]

her range and voice is brillant wow she just blew me away does she have any cd's out with this song? its sad that a wonderful singer like this is under rated and not up there with the likes of aretha franklin and diana ross! I gusse thats the way it goes!

[zigzagzig40]

Who is that fucking Omar Shariff/Eddie Murphy lookalike at the bar he is spoiling the vibes of the gig man-and he has the cheek to start laughing when Marva starts to cry.

Get rid of him

[C3ntrum5ilver]

I was hoping that lando calrissian was just smiling because he was enjoying the performance like "damn that was good" smile/laugh, But if he wasn't he should get the fuck out

[nialldcrowley]

Gosh! Someone named Whitney who doesn't sing bland anodine pop! Only know 'Don't let our love fade away' by her which is similarly wonderful. That was fantastic. Thank you to the person who posted it and to Ms Whitney.

[tblue]

Tight...far beyond rubbish..This is glorius.

[ShowtyAnna]

OMG her voice... I love u Marva...Soo deep

[unagi66]

[cooloongup]

rubbish

[zigzagzig40]

you fukin ignant keep listening to pop music these cats really knew the rudiments of music for you and your followers music is actually a mathematical formula,to sing like that within range and pitch from the heart shedding a tear at the same time-go ask yo moms bwoy

[funkpill]

And she's singin' live too!!! :O)

[OliverPenn1]

Glorious performance by Kansas City's own, Marva Whitney, nee Manning of the Manning Singers (gospel).

[OliverPenn1]

Love Marva Whitney nee Manning from Kansas City. She wanted to sing, not just scream a song, but James Brown was the boss. She balked and then left. Even the great Bettye LaVette toured with him once. Along with Marva, James produced some great female soul singers including Tammi Terrell, Anna King, Vicki Anderson, Yvonne Fair and TV Mamma.

Marva, we love you! Keep on 'sangin' darlin'!

[d820m]

you must have the 2 cd set of "James Brown's Original Funky Divas". I do.

[OliverPenn1]

Yes, I have that one. Also a boxed set of Brown's that includes the ultimate fucky cut, "You Don't Have To Go." As a kid, I visited Tulsa and that song was popular along with a raunchy dance called The Fever.

[ghanasoul]
