“Did you hear what I said in the song?” Marvin whispered to me after he layered his harmonies on “Feel All My Love Inside.”

“I heard you sing about making love to me,” I whispered back.

“Before that I said, ‘I want you for my wife.’”

“Is this a formal proposal?”

“It will be.”

“Well, I accept—when you are free.”

“The divorce is coming soon,” he said.

“The way these endless hearings are dragging out, I’m not sure soon is the right word.”

“The name of the song was ‘Soon I’ll Be Loving You.’ And the name of this chapter in my life was ‘Soon I’ll Be Marrying You.’”

The chapter was blissful. During those long months blending lovemaking and music making in the Sunset studio, there were sights and scenes I’ll always cherish.

Marvin seated on a couch in the control room—the speakers mute, the room perfectly silent—as he quietly read aloud from the Book of Psalms:

In peace I will lie down and sleep

For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety
