He is also one of those guys who made music just a little bit different. He saw his greatest success with the classic Whole Lotta Woman, (a number one hit in England in 1958). When Marvin returned to Britain in 1975 and 1976 he recorded 2 LPs for Westwood Records. Besides the title track Rock Me, it also includes his re-recording of I Dig You Baby which he initially also recorded in England for MGM. Other outstanding songs are I Saw A Bluebird Today, Indian Momma, Proud Mary, Rock Me and Blue Valley. 11 of the 22 songs were previously issued as ‘Especially For You’ (WRS 101), the remaining songs were planned as WRS 168, but not issued. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="284" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 WIDTH="87"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="20" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="87" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="190"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="20" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="190" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ******************************</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The Viva Las Vegas Show was a Great Success!</B></div> <div> <B>Watch for a new page of pictures soon!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>******************************</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>4/21/2001</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>NOTICE!</B></div> <div> <B>Marvin is Featured on OTTO FUCH'S</B></div> <div> <B>ROCKIT RADIO SHOW!</B></div> <div> <B>lots of songs and an in depth interview!</B></div> <div> <B>On the internet and world wide on short wave radio!</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>(sorry..this show is no longer available on the net)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>**************************</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>4/12/2001</B></div> <div> <B>Marvin's on the way to Viva Las Vegas!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The worlds largest Rockabilly Festival!</B></div> <div> <B>Those attending are in for a treat!</B></div> <div> <B>This should be a career performance for Marvin, in that he will be doing </B></div> <div> <B>an all Rockabilly show like he does when he plays Europe.</B></div> <div> <B>The Rockabilly King takes the throne again!</B></div> <div> <B>Good Luck Marv, and have a great time!</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>*********************************</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>THIS  JUST  IN</B></div> <div> A message from Marvin.....</div> <div> as follows</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>*********************************************</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Big gig coming up in Vegas!</B></div> <div> <B>Easter weekend......ViVA Las Vegas 2001</B></div> <div> <B>The world's largest rockabilly festival.</B></div> <div> <B>Marvin will be headlining Friday's Main Stage Show! </B></div> <div> <B>If you can get to Vegas, dont miss this one!!</B></div> <div> <B>Check out all the info posted on our Home page</B></div> <div> <B>***</B><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#00FFFF" FACE="Arial" ><B>NEWS FLASH!!!</B></FONT><B>***</B></div> <div> <B>Marvin Rainwater</B></div> <div>  <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>to Headline at the</B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>World's Largest Rockabilly Festival!</B></FONT> </div> <div> <B>VIVA LAS VEGAS </B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Las Vegas Nevada</B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>April 12-15, 2001</B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Also featuring</B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Wanda Jackson, </B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>Big Sandy,</B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>The Cadillacs, </B></FONT> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B>and many, many, more!</B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.vivalasvegas.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.vivalasvegas.net"><U><IMG SRC="3400b3c0.gif" border=0 width="267" height="60" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> *************************************************</div> <div> Read all about Marvin's sister </div> <div> <B>PATTY RAINWATER</B></div> <div> <B>Recording artist and Songwriter Supreme!!</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id45.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Patty Rainwater Story"><U><B>The Patty Rainwater Story</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>back to</B></div> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Marvin Rainwater Country Music Legend"><U><B>Marvin Rainwater Country Music Legend</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
