“Marshall was every bit as entertaining as any of the night club entertainers he paid tribute to, and equally as handsomely magnetic, and his easy-going rapport pulled audience members completely under his spell…Marshall remained true to his own, fine voice, never bending it to become someone else's. The cues are all there, but the style still is Marshall’s own.”
