Marlon secretly married Carol Parker August 8th 1975 but the news about Marlon’s secret marriage didn’t leak until months later.
Jet magazine reported about the marriage in their January 1st, 1976 issue.
Right On! Magazine first published news about the marriage in their March 1976 issue and disappointed reactions of fans kept streaming in the issues thereafter.
