R&B singer Marc Dorsey is probably best known for his 1994 cover of The Stylistics classic People Make The World Go Round. It appeared in Spike Lee's film Crooklyn. he has only released one album but he has worked with a lot of different artists. Dorsey is from Washington, DC. He started out doing jingles while studying at Morgan State University. DJ Vaughn Harper thought Dorsey should come to New York and try to get a record deal. Harper introduced him to Spike Lee and Dorsey's music appeared in some of Lee's films. This cover of The Stylistics classic People Make The World Go Round played over the end credits of Crooklyn. The soundtrack was mostly oldies. People Make The World Go Round was one of two new recordings. It was produced by Narada Michael Walden. It made the R&B charts but it was not a hit. Dorsey also appeared on Lee's films Clockers and Get On The Bus. He signed with Universal and recorded an album but it was never released. Then he signed with Jive Records and released the 1999 album Crave. It wasn't successful but Dorsey got to work with The Neptunes and especially the female R&B singer Kelis. Dorsey also appeared on the 2002 LL Cool J hit Luv U Better. MC Lite and Jay Z's Blueprint 2 album. He still does a lot of background work but he also owns a construction company and he's opened a music school in Hackensack, NJ. He seems to be more focused on those things than the rat race of the music business. The Crooklyn soundtrack is not available on CD. But you can get People Make The World Go Round on this various artists CD from the Italian label Irma. Here's the video for People Make The World Go Round by Marc Dorsey.
