Who said the 60s are dead?
Reviving the decade that brought us The Beatles and Rolling Stones is James Marvell, formally a touring member of 1960s pop group Mercy; and he’s doing it at an RV park near you.
James, 62, has devoted his life to singing music about the negativities of drugs and war, all the while promoting love and fun. He performed a song in 1969 with Mercy entitled “Love (Can Make You Happy),” and it changed his life forever.
The song reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles, surpassed only by “Get Back” by The Beatles.
