Marv Johnson tracks originally produced by Britisher
Ian Levine for Motor City and Nightmare Records. It features remakes of two tracks he recorded for Motown: "Come to Me" and "I'll Pick a Rose for My Rose." He does an admirable job on
Curtis Mayfield's "Nothing Can Stop Me," also recorded by
Gene Chandler and
Major Lance. Includes an interesting rendition of
the Miracles' "Whole Lot of Shakin' In My Heart," but excludes his equally infectious duet with
Velvelettes lead singer Carolyn Gill on "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," and Nightmare single #105 "Run Like a Rabbit." This is pure
Marv and not a bad job, featuring the single "By Hook or Crook," "Can't Take Another Day," "Paper Kisses," and more. ~ Andrew Hamilton
