Marvin was in London using a lot of cocaine when he met a Belgian concert promoter. A week later he called and planned his move to Ostend. He quit using, got fit and went back to music.

First song after that: Sexual Healing

Marvin then lived for a while with a family who has had stage costumes, notebooks and tape cassettes for 42 years. They are laying claim to all of it.


The attorney for the family who has all of this maintains it is theirs.
He has 66 demos of new music, some complete.
Belgian law says if you leave something with someone, after 30 years, the person who was holding on to it is the new legal owner...
PLOT TWIST except for Intellectual Property. So they might own them, but not be able to publish them

The lawyer said: "I think we both benefit, the family of Marvin and the collection in the hands of [Dumolin's heirs]. If we put our hands together and find the right people in the world, the Mark Ronsons or the Bruno Mars.... I'm not here to make suggestions but to say OK, let's listen to this and let's make the next album."
