This is a real shame. Marty had an incredible voice. Miracles is certainly his high point to me. A vocal performance right up there with Marvin Gaye.
I was a student in San Fran in the early 90's and remember him playing an outdoor set near city hall. I think it was some sort of civil rights/protest concert. I didn't go to the show, not even being aware of it until I heard the music finding its way through the buildings to my apartment that afternoon. But once I heard his voice I opened the windows as far as I could and listened to him singing Miracles and his solo hit called Hearts, among others. Still remember it vividly a quarter century later.
RIP
