Marvin Sease

Marvin Monnie Sease (February 16, 1946 – February 8, 2011) was an American blues and soul singer-songwriter known for his gospel-infused vocal style and erotic lyrics.

Career Born in Blackville, South Carolina, Success had finally come to Sease without the help of airplay, which deemed his sound too explicit for the audience. Sease's success with "Candy Licker" ensured a strong female-based following. He was said to have a comparable sound to Johnnie Taylor and Tyrone Davis, but without the commercial success.

His only nationally charting hit, "Tonight", reached No. 86 on the US Billboard R&B chart in 1991.

Over the next decade Sease released several more records for Mercury and Jive Records before signing with Malaco Records for his final three albums, Playa Haters (2004), the CD/DVD Grown Up "Live with the Candy Licker" (2005) and Who's Got The Power (2008).

Death Sease died of complications from pneumonia in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on February 8, 2011, eight days before his 65th birthday.
