(New York, New York) November 15, 2016 — Marlon Saunders announces the release of new single and video, "The People Are Ready to Dance Again."

Once again Marlon Saunders and his band, Mood control take us forward while serving up a soulful 70s-style groove. “The People Are Ready to Dance Again”, produced by Shawn Lucas and Rich Ahee; and Saunders' thought-provoking lyrics ride on top of bass player Carl Carter's funky groove.

Encouraging the listener to “change the way the story ends”, Marlon lends the mic to Soul/R&B legend Tawatha Agee, who moves the listener on this rhythmic journey. "We are in a time where people need love, peace and understanding", say Saunders. "It is my hope that this song will get us ready to be the change we wish to see." The video features the talents of Creative Director Stephen Earley Jordan II; Director Adolphus Amissah; and Stylist O'Neal Wyche.
