In the recording, Steve recounted past moments after hearing what he referred to as the couple’s song. Without disclosing the track’s title, he said, “I just had a moment. That’s me and my wife’s song too. I met her in ’86, ’87 when the song came out, and God gave her back to me in 2005. I put her name in the back man. Do you understand me.” 

Steve added that his love for Marjorie runs so deep that he would kill “everybody in here” about her. The “Family Feud” host went on to say to much laughter from the audience and with Marjorie sitting in the crowd, “That’s mine right there. I own you and you own me. I will kill everybody in here about your a–. Please understand that about the way I love you, Marjorie Elaine. You understand me I’ll kill everybody in here. I swear to God I will. You can ask the Lord about me.” 

The clip ended with Steve shouting expletives and the audience laughing. In addition to the video, Steve captioned the upload, “The way I love @marjorie_harvey …” Following the post, Marjorie — whom Steve has been known to shower in designer threads and surprise on random occasions while she’s been away on a trip — returned the love by commenting with seven kissing face emojis. 

As fans viewed the video, many praised Steve for his remarks and for loving his wife out loud.

“AAAAAAWWWWW the way you love her it’s ssoooo beautiful!!!”

“This is how your husband should ride for you, and you feel like she saved you, must be nice to be loved like this!!!”

“Yessssss Uncle Steve ain’t playin’ about his girl!!!! He love him some @marjorie_harvey.”

“Cmon unc!!! Let them know! Energy!!!! I love to see it!” 

Steve and Marjorie began dating in 2005 despite knowing each other years before.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
