Mario Carter / I Touched You (ASCAP Publisher)

THE BIOGRAPHY :

Mario grew-up in Detroit Michigan. His involvement in music began at a very early age; during the rise of The Motown Record Company in Detroit; As the story goes; his mom a back-up and fill-in vocalist brought a friend home with her one day, and the gentleman (Mr. Robinson), had a little guitar with him, he put the instrument in Mario hands and said, "Here little Mario let's see what you can do with this?" At that moment, at age about 18 months old, Mario played his first melody on a guitar. The gentleman ran out of the apartment, went to The Motown Studio he had previously wrote lyrics for his song "I Got Sunshine", which was renamed, "My Girl", and given to the Temptations to perform; turning Mario's melody into a well known music arrangement. 

Today, there have been many porfessional entertainers and Icons who have performed songs and used music arrangements written by Mario Carter;
