Marvin Sease Obituary
VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — Marvin Sease, a blues and soul singer known for his 1980s hit "Candy Licker," has died after a lengthy illness. He was 64.
James Jefferson, owner of Jefferson Funeral Home in Vicksburg, Miss., says Sease died Tuesday at River Region Medical Center.
Sease was born in Blacksville, S.C.
Brett Bonner, editor of Living Blues Magazine, says Sease started in gospel music in South Carolina before moving to New York and eventually playing rhythm and blues. Bonner says after "Candy Licker" was released in the late 1980s, Sease became popular for his live performances in the South. Bonner says many of Sease's song were too dirty for airplay.
Sease had been living in Vicksburg.

To the late Marvin Sease family he is resting in the arms of Jesus no other place Marvin would want to be at. I believe he was a Christian man and that he made it in the kingdom. I never personally knew Marvin but I sure do listen to his music a lot and he was a great music entertainer from the south. I am from North Caroline so you know I love him for making music that still lives on now while he has left this mean old world to be in another great place of peace happiness joy and lots of love. RIP The Great Marvin Sease (CandyLicker)
