I met Marilyn Martin during a July, 1986 family vacation in Louisville, Kentucky at the most unlikely of places. I had worked at KJ-100 in Louisville from 82-'84 but had moved to Mobile, Alabama for a job at G-100 by 1985. During this time Marilyn had a #1 record "Separate Lives" as a duet with Phil Collins and had seen two songs, "Night Moves" and "Move Closer" hit the Top 20 from her self-titled debut album. In Louisville, we were visiting friends in an Olan Mills Photography Studio on Dixie Highway, introducing them to my son Jameson who was 10 months old, when I recognized Marilyn sitting with her Mom and other family patiently waiting for a family portrait session. I introduced myself and we started to talk about her music. She blushed when I told her that her performance on "Move Closer" was the most sensual performance I had ever heard on record. She giggled when my son began flirting with her, something he always did with attractive ladies proving, I suppose, he was really my son. When her family was called for their session the photographer, our old friend Larry Kinney, suggested he take a shot of Marilyn and me together. I hope you enjoy the most sensual performance I have ever heard on record, Marilyn's "Move Closer", and my story that goes with it. Thank you for watching.
Steve, the name sounds familiar but I don't remember ever meeting him.
