“Marvin was performing at the Royal Albert Hall, but photographers weren’t allowed in for the show. I went to the stage door two hours before the concert and tried to convince security that I worked for the Daily Mirror and had special permission, despite having no press credentials. I was 19 at the time, so felt I could get away with it and eventually they got so tired they let me in. The seating is quite set back, so it felt like I had the whole show to myself. I knelt at the front of the stage for the whole show. Sometimes Marvin was so close to me I couldn’t get a good shot! At this point I his life, Marvin was beset by tax and drug problems and had filed for bankruptcy. He had fled to Hawaii and had been living in a bread van. There was not an empty seat in the Albert Hall and Marvin sang his heart out. It was pure magic and pure soul.”David Corio
