James Marvell recorded a classic with a legendary pop group in the ‘60s. The band made music history topping the Billboard and Cashbox charts with Elvis, Frank Sinatra and the Beatles. His face has appeared on the covers of CDs and albums selling millions of records in stores across the nation and overseas for over 40 years including releases on Warner Brothers but James Marvell has not received one penny in royalties!
James Marvell's first Raw Deal in music came early when he formed his 1965 garage band called The Skopes. This was even before the million selling group. He recorded an original composition co-written with his manager John Centinaro titled “She’s Got Bad Breath.” The song was banned by a famous mouthwash company in Chicago putting a quick halt to a great opportunity.

In the early ‘70s, James Marvell and music friend Buddy Good left Rock and Roll. They kept their waist long hair and called themselves The Country Cavaleers. They headed for Nashville to sing the songs they loved, country! The Cavaleers may have looked like a couple of hippies in cowboy hats to 1970 Nashville but their message was clear to all “don’t do drugs!” After years of being blocked and swept under the rug by the Nashville music clique of that day, James Marvell & Good got fed up with the politics which ended the Cavaleers’ promising career.
