I'm in Love with A Stripper (1980)

Marvin "Sweet Notes" Jackson was born in 1955 in Miami, Florida into a family with deep musical roots. Before hitting the charts, Marvin was better known as the charismatic owner of "Marvin's Marvelous Moves," a popular strip club that became the unexpected incubator for his music career. His mother was a church choir director and his father played the saxophone in a jazz band. Despite his musical upbringing, Marvin initially steered away from a career in music, drawn instead to the allure of entrepreneurship. He opened Marvin's Marvelous Moves in the late 1970s, which quickly became known not just for its entertainment but also for Marvin’s occasional impromptu performances on slow nights. The real turning point in Marvin's life came when he fell head over heels in love with one of his employees, a dancer named Bardi Redd. This unexpected romance sparked not just a personal transformation but also inspired his breakout hit, "I'm in Love with a Stripper." The song, with its soulful melody and honest lyrics, captured the hearts of many who appreciated its candid portrayal of Marvin's love story. "I'm in Love with a Stripper" catapulted Marvin from club owner to soul sensation almost overnight. The song's success was fueled by its catchy hook and Marvin's rich, emotive voice, which conveyed the sincerity of his feelings for Bardi. Audiences found the story relatable and refreshingly genuine, and Marvin quickly found himself on tour, playing to packed houses far beyond the confines of his strip club.

dang, Marvin Jackson never misses. RIP he was gone too soon.

fuckin Ai gonna kill us softly with bangers like this. The terminators better be blasting funk and motown music instead of bullets

All those who said 1.25x... every song doesn’t need to be uptempo, the laid back groove is what create lil humans

Good ol’ Sweet Notes…. Man. What a legend. Rip brother😪😔✊🏿

My granddaddy used to turn this up while I rode in his Buick during the Quiet Storm. He would always say “you’on know nothing about this here boy. Don’t ever learn neither.” RIP Granddaddy (2005). I learned the hard way like you said I would but I don’t regret a thing!

But seriously...It's crazy how there's a good handful of these that are 1000% better than the originals. I could listen to this on repeat while the original I hated as soon as I heard it. Again, the actual musical arrangements are what's blowing my mind. So I'm not sure how much is AI and how much is actual composer. Some of the bridges I've heard are fantastic.

My grandparents used to go skating to this song every weekend back in the 1970s.

This was my grandpa favorite song 😮‍💨🔥 Rip 😢

This AI shit is frighteningly beautiful😯

these generated descriptions are the best lmao

T-Pain ruined this when he remade it and polluted the human qualities with that robotic voice. This is obviously the best version no robotic voices here just pure raw human talent

Legend has it that his spirit still felt in strip clubs...His spirit is here to stay he's not going anywhere

I got this on loop all the time

I listen to this extremely unironically

Damn this is Art
