Yeah that seems like it would be hell on your mouth and throat. I heard the same thing about Marv but didn't know it was a fact. He was one of the few Motown cats my mom never really got to know, she met him a couple times and said he was very shy but charming (of course). He was going through it at that time, most of the time she was involved with any Motown Films stuff he was in Europe.
