You know something, I did not appreciate this album until years later. This track especially. The album is great and you can't tell me that he was not trying to get his "Prince" on, with "...Til Tomorrow". That track reminds me so much of, "Insatiable". "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

More like Prince later on was trying to get his "Marvin" on. 
He was heavily influenced by Rick James, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and new wave when he recorded the Midnight Love album in '82. | |

"'Til Tomorrow" (released in '83) "Insatiable" (released in '91) | |

Great track. I remember in 1984 when he was on soul train with his
then 11 year old daughter Nona Gaye, Don asked her what her favorite song was on the Midnight Love album and she said Rockin After Midnight. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I knew the album was released in 83 but i can't remember when and you know how a great album tends to run into the next year. I knew Nona was very young then but couldn't remember her exact age. I was off on the year and age somewhat but i do remember the episode. Don't laugh at my funk

I heard Marvin did "Sexual Healing" and "'Til Tomorrow" on the show, didn't he do "Rockin' After Midnight" too? lol | |

There were two songs by Marvin that still have an effect on me,"Got to give it up" and "Sexual Healing". "Got to give it up" because, of where his head was at the time of recording....and the same for "Sexual Healing". There was something about "Sexual", the "Midnight Love and "Got to give it up", albums that was just weird to me....It was as if he was trying to find his "legs" again.
