JUST MADE IT... In 1968 "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and it spent a total of 11 weeks in the Top 100...
This record was the 3rd of 11 duets that charted by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell...
I love this song. My Brother shaped his musical prowess off of Marvin Gaye. They even sounded identical, (Tho My Bro had a little of Sam Cooke added in there)
They even had the similar initials. Marvin Pentz Gaye/Melvin Phillip Jones RIP Both of you.I miss you both.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone found footage of Marvin and Tammi singing this song? I have some hope that more footage of these two will surface. I saw how the Johnny Carson Show's footage appeared after the UNSUNG episode. If you notice, some of the pictures were frames from them singing on the Tonight Shows. Who is holding out on us?
If I could build my world around you, I'd take every drop of rain and wash all your troubles away...and that would be alright! I'd make your eyes the morning sun, I'd give my love to you, to keep for the rest of your life. That's how I feel about you, Tammi!
I remember that little record player I would set up in the kitchen and play this, along with the Monitors "Say You". Sooooo 1967 and teenage years. Beautiful. They really get down on this one!
They complemented each other soooo well. the best duet EVER! How can u not wanna groove and hold your loved one tight when u hear this song? u must be deaf or can't speak English - lol!!
Happy Birthday to a wonderful entertainer who died much too soon the late great Mr .Marvin Gaye 2/4/39 to 1/4/84 Rest in Peace Thank you for all your great music. Miss Tammi Terrell a wonderful entertainer and a beautiful woman who also died much too young Thanks for your great music 29/4/45 to 16/3/70 Rest in Peace.
THIS IS WHAT THE BOOK OF "GENESIS CHPT. 2:18" WAS PROJECTING FOR EVERY MAN. "A WOMAN OF THE FLESH OF HIS OWN --- AND BONE OF HIS BONE---- FOR EVERY MAN". THE "MOST HIGH" MERGED THESE TWO SPIRITS TOGETHER FOR HIS "GOOD PLEASURE"--- AND THEN INTRODUCED A PORTION OF HIS MAGNIFICENSE TO US SO WE COULD ENJOY HIS WORK BY WAY OF MARVIN AND TAMMI----FELLAS W/O A GIRL---DON'T GO LOOKIN'---SHE WILL SIMPLY BE GIVIEN---GIRLYS' W/O A MAN---YOUR PRINCE WILL SURELY COME!!!! ---YA' JUST GOTTA BELIEVE!!!!
@evidenceunseen1 Kudos to you for breaking it on down to us like you have evidenceunseen. Imo take you at your word on this one............ God bless you and may ur soul mate appear also if they haven't already!

Marvin Gaye's is the artist that I most identify with.
I tried emulate his music earlier in my life.
This brother was so sensual...
His Music did provide sexual healing for many of us during lovemaking
The first time I made love, "I want You" was playing on my cassette deck.
His music helped me, and HEALED during some very trying times......
These songs are dedicated to Nicci. Girl you were my first love
I think of you often....Thank You for allowing me in your life
