Marv Johnson 1969 - I Miss You (Baby) MOTOWN-104. There was something in the overall sound of the music that suddenly sounded new and exciting, raw and polished, bright and dark, innovative and traditional- all at the same time. here is one of those songs from that period: marv johnsons i miss you baby (how i miss you) and wow! in its mono version, it packed a punch any boxer would envy. clarence paul and luvel broadnax came up with a lyric that fully captures the desperate hours that haunt and taunt us when the one we love is gone. clarence paul produced a track that showcases the funk brothers at their best- it certainly is jammed with just about EVERYTHING we all love about that motown sound. a big, huge, chunky 4-on-the-floor beat, hand claps, sprite and bright horns, gutsy guitars a fat bass- its all there! marv johnson was another one those artists on motowns famed 2nd tier. the amazing thing about these artists is that they werent on that 2nd level because of lack of talent- could be just the fact that the company simply had an overabundance of a good thing and there were some whod get the short end of the stick. marv had the chops to make a hit- he was one of those people who could sing just about anything and make it rock and here on i miss you baby, he certainly doesnt give anything less than 100% pure pleasure! love the two-level backing vocals- andantes and perhaps the spinners. youtu.be/AeafbjwJB-c
