His family moved from Tennessee to Duckhill, Mississippi in 1947. The next year his father’s cotton crop was destroyed by boll weevils forcing another move. This brought the family to Lauderdale County, Alabama. This is where Marvin grew up working on a farm. He bought his first instrument, a mandolin, for five dollars at the age of eight with money he made working in the cotton field. He began singing and playing at age ten. Some of his first singing was in the church and with the high school FFA Band and Quartet, which won top honors in competition. In 1975 Marvin accepted and obeyed the call of God into the ministry. In August 1976 he was ordained, and began to pastor a church. Still loving to sing he formed a gospel trio. The lead guitar player from the Stagelighter Band, Donnie Joe Rich, who also had been saved, played lead guitar for the group. They sang in local churches and auditoriums with the mission of getting the word of God to sinners. These years were filled with working for a living, as a pastor of churches, and helping to establish and manage a manufacturing plant. God had blessed Marvin with a good job that allowed him to sing and preach. In June 1996, Marvin recorded his first solo project “The Bible Is True After All”, a song written by Earl Rich. The project was produced by Earl Montgomery, also a former country music performer and award winning songwriter. Since 1997, Marvin has recorded sixteen CD projects and six video projects, released thirty five radio singles, of which almost all have been Top Ten Country Gospel Hits, with at least fifteen earning number one positions in either national or international charts. Marvin, with the help of his family, operates Old Ship Ministries, Piney Records, Old Ship Music Publishing Co., and Piney Productions, which produce's CD and Video projects and helps to develop the ministry of other gospel artist. The mission of Marvin Morrow is to obey the word of God and to perform with the anointing power of the Holy Spirit that reaches out and touches those who listen, to carry the gospel to as many people as possible, see them saved, and lives changed, whether by the preached word or song.
