Parody? Don't think he'd have called it that. Track bumps.

I didn't even realize it was Marvin until fairly recently so what do I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's pretty impressive how he stole the honour of making the first black protest album from jazz and blues.

Musically Marvin was second to none, as a vocalist and writer...Baby I'm For Real[The Originals]- I Love You Secretly[The Miracles] are examples of his power as a songwriter.
