The Best of Marvin Sease is the first comprehensive collection of Sease's best bawdy, funky '70s soul, culled from his four albums for Polygram. Among the 15 tracks are the notorious "Candy Licker" and a single that had never been available on an album prior to this collection. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Critic Reviews

Spin (11/97, p.150) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Sease's throwback songwriting and producing skills, along with his honey-dripping vocals, incant such pre-disco -era soulmen as Tyrone Davis and Johnnie Taylor....with the appeal of `Candy Licker' for female sexual empowerment...it could almost be argued that he was the Godfather of Do-Me Feminism."
