According to a press release received yesterday by the Scene, the Nashville Blues Festival is set to bring some call-and-response and pentatonic bliss to Municipal Auditorium on Mar. 6. Joining The Manhattans featuring Gerald Alden and Blue Lovette, Mel Waiters, Shirley Brown, Bobby Rush and Latimore for a "night of unforgettable performances" will be none other than sensual '80s soul man Marvin Sease. For those of you who have an insatiable appetite for beef curtains, and are unfamiliar with Sease's smooth, seductive compendium of cunning lyrical linguistics, you're in for a treat. Like Michael W. Smith or Korn's Jonathan Davis, Sease displayed a strong proclivity towards a single lyrical theme, which in his case was masterfully performing sexual congress of the oral variety on any and all willing, wanton women who crossed his path.
That's right, like a cross between Luther Vandross and Luther Campbell, Marvin Sease was, and is, pop music's flagship crooner when it comes to soulfully, and graphically emoting over the lost art of cunnilingus.
While in college, I once lucked upon a bargain-bin copy of his seminal self-titled 1987 release, which included his best-known song, "Candy Licker": a 10-minute ballad addressing his mad skills as an ever-salivating pleasure machine, complete with orgasmic (literally) shrieks for BGVs. On slow nights, my friends and I would spin that black circle at the slowest speed possible to hear what sounded like Buffalo Bill seducing The Chupacabra. If you've got your bong loaded, 20 minutes to spare, and a relatively base-level sense of humor, it's worth the effort. For now you can hear it in standard speed above.Or you can (probably) hear it live when Sease appears at the Nashville Blues Festival on Mar. 6 at Municipal Auditorium. Get your tickets here. Make a night out of it. Go downtown. Eat out. Whatever. It'll be the hottest local event since this.
Now, I could go on making bad oral sex puns for days, or I could just post a list of standout — and absolutely real — Marvin Sease song titles below.
