    Great singer, very underrated, even though he was a member of the very first version of Boyz II Men. [2]

    I have a copy of "Chocolate Mood" too! OMG!!! Why does Marc not have superstardom and its success to match? I will take Marc's music over any of these male R&B/Pop singers as of late!

    You have to admit, this Brother can sing to even the most pissed off Lady, & she would be captivated by his appearance, & charms instantly. The Lady in My Life is a classic example. Why is he not given the props he deserves is what is confusing me.
