  • This was the song that turned me into a real bass player.

  • 1970: I was 6 years old playing this 45(record) on a record player. I loved it then, & I still do now, albeit, with a little more understanding. I wonder if there's a 6 year old that would play this today?

  • This was the first song ever played on "American Top 40" w/Casey Kasem" (@ #40) when it premiered on July 4th, 1970! 41 years later, this song still sounds great!

    R.I.P., Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr.....1939-1984.

  • What an amazing talent! How did we go from this to the crap that passes as music today!?

  • Nobody with a voice like Marvin. He put in work in the 60's but once the 70's hit...pheww...

  • Hey! 1 idiot that doesnt like good music... is the end of this road 4 u dum dum.

  • 27th anniversary of his death today. This song is on repeat along with all his other songs, all day. RIP

  • DAMN! Tell us how you REALLY feel Marvin...LOL!! I love this song to death!!

  • Thanks for the info. It was actually the Gladys Knight version that I wanted, but couldn't remember who it was by. Many thanks!!

  • Is that the Temps singing background??

  • THE MAN !!!!!!!!

  • Bloody excellent.

    In just don't listen to Marv enough.

  • There is not a single song by this man that is bad

  • @StephyDizzle

    its scary...

  • @StephyDizzle I agree 100%.

  • First song Casey Kasem ever played on AT40 on his July 4, 1970 episode!!! Since I am a Casey Kasem fanatic, I heard this debut show and heard this song for the first time ever and decided to download this. Another great addition to my Ipod!!

  • Casey replayed this July 4, 1970 show on July 4, 1975 kinda' like an anniversary remembrance. Great songs on the countdown that week of 1970...Seems like AGES ago!

  • KISS ASS SONG

  • Lighting doesn't strike twice for Marvin on this one as it did for "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" both made hits first by Gladys Knight & the Pips.

  • I'm looking for the recording by Gladys, but all I've found on here so far are live versions.

  • I just love the passion and anguish in this song. One thing you can never accuse Marvin of is being lazy when it comes to giving fine vocal performances.

  • I agree wholeheartedly with this comment. He never slacked no matter what song he tackled. This tune and "More Than A Heart Can Stand" are one of my favorite tunes by Marvin.

  • Marvin at one of his most funkiest moments.

  • heat right here!
