- Song: Stubborn Kind Of Fellow, Pride & Joy, Can I Get A Witness, Hitch Hike (TAMI-TNT Show '65)
- TV-Program: T.A.M.I TNT Show
- Duration: about 7 min.
- Year: around 1964
This almost seven minute performance can be seen on the T.A.M.I TNT Show DVD. This DVD also includes performances from artists like James Brown, Rolling Stones, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles and Diana Ross. Marvin's too small suit, funny looking and over energetic dancer girls are making this video look a bit weird, but still it's nice to see these classic songs performed live. T.A.M.I actually stands for "Teenage Music International" and if I have understood right the film itself was to be shown at the TAMI Foundation's first annual awards ceremony. TAMI was supposed to an award like an Oscar or an Emmy, but I believe it never made that far.

A True CLASSIC! Even though Marvin and Tammi are just standing there and pretending to sing with minimal choreography, this "ever green" song always makes you smile and feel good. The material for this clip was actually filmed in Montreal Canada while the Expo '67.
