He's one of only a handful of male vocalists to rival Marvin, BUT.... nobody will top (nor equal) Marvin's version of "What's Going On". [Edited 10/27/08 20:07pm] |

Not better as Marvin, he comes close though which is impressive. Donny was the kinda guy to hear a song and perform it two to three weeks later himself LIVE, now that's some talent. | |

Neither. I love Donny, but I've never really liked this cover at all. It doesn't hold a candle to Marvin. I don't like the increased tempo, the different rhythm of the lyrics, the lack of the sax parts... The original is a perfect recording; this is not.
