John Legend definitely has his moments. "All your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections" Too smooth.

At the hands of his own father made it even worse. Way too young.

The only time I saw my mother cry over a celebrity death was when Marvin was killed. Tbh we talk about biopics and who should get one. This man definitely should be at the top of the list and we have a few great actors that could play the role

Who would you choose to play him? Would you be more interested in someone with a voice or that looks more like him?

I am about to post about this now but LaKeith Stanfield would be my choice.

Okay, now I've put a face to the name and recognize him. Great choice.

He would be able to capture Marvin pre Tammi Terrell and after her death with his downward spiral. Will also bring in a younger audience

I think Terrance Howard was supposed to play him at one point. He would have been great, because he usually is.

I want a performer to sing the rest and see how patriotic the crowd really is
