When my daughter was born, and she'd wake up at night, I'd take her downstairs, rocker her in my arms, and sing this until she fell asleep.. It is a song that makes me sad and happy at the same time.. This is my baby!!!!!
In the 60's and 70's there were amazing singers, like Levy Stubbs, Marvin Gaye, and David Ruffin. They had real talent today they have been replaced by tattoos, bling, and talentless singers, like Usher.
This song is unreal. The way the notes of the chord happen in the flow of Marvin's vocal lines are just fabulous beyond all belief. This thing has the feel of some kind of spell the gods have cast upon us mortal humans, reaching down into our souls and pulling out the fabulousness in each of us and showing it to us.
This song was co-written by Barrett Strong, cousin of Nolan Strong of the Diablos, the most underrated doo-wop band of all time. Nolan's gone now--buried in Westlawn cemetery just outside of Detroit but Barrett is still around and still living in Detroit. Barrett wrote some of the most enduring songs ever most of them, like this one, with Norman Whitfield who is also no longer with us.
@donsw141 Marvin its a tragedy that you died at the hands of your own Father. You did nothing wrong. I remember going to one of your last concerts in Columbia, SC, as a teenager, singing sexual healing, which I think was your last album. You gave a great Concert!I'll never forget you! I am in my late 40's now. RIP!
Man! Doesn't he just make you smile and shake your head from side to side, like ..he's just too good for you to stand it! Those high notes, like at 1:09, are heavenly.
Great voice....pity his father had too kill him in a heated argument over the last rock of crack.....its just too hard to say goodbye to the ice cream man. RIP Marvin.
this is my boy.. i luv me some Marvin Gaye.. There will never be another like him..... and he is truly missed.... this is my jam.. i luv me some old school ..
now that we're dirt broke we'll have more time for the music. entertainment does great during depression! of course, the music "industry" is a den of vipers and mediocrity!
kaviboy78, what kind of thinking is that? Are you just like his father, an irrational violent man who responds to situations with violence? Were you there? Do you know how it all went down? That's how Marvin suffered the fate he did because someone lost their cool. Wishing harm on others never improved anything. Like Marvin sang, "Only love can conquer hate!"
IM TOO BUSY THINKIN BOUT MY BABE...I AINT GOT TIME....I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME...I AINT GOT TIME FOR NOTHIN ELSE... TOO BUSY THINKIN BOUT MY BABE AINT GOT TIME 4 NUTHIN ELSE
Second row,Steel Pier,Atlantic City who would have known then how far this man in the orange leisure suit would take me? God love you Marvin Gaye you are "some kinda wonderful"
At 1:58 and 2:05 he soars up into those hovering, suspended high notes. He does this a few times earlier in the song, too. The soul goin on is total and absolute FLAIR. FLAY-YAH!!
MissFunkentelechy what happened to the earth wind and fire videos. I really miss the [Don,t let me be lonely tonight & power 72 live ]. Please reply MissFunkentelechy. You are the greatest.
I agree,this was The Tempts song first,I don't know why they didn't release this for The Tempts,well this was around the time that Whitfield decided to record 95% of singles with Ruffin on lead,and probably because Motown slept on Eddie Kendricks,I always felt that Eddie was underrated and underused as a Temptation,who knows but this might have been of the little things that pushed Eddie to leave,I know it would make my decision about leaving a whole lot easier
Brother marvin.father shot him 2 r 3times/what type of man will kiil his own son..that bastard..GOD is not pleased with him...if it was up to me..ihope he is burning in HELL
SO his feelings made him kill his own son? thats a sad excuss.r reason.btw im not damning him to hell.thats not my job..plus he allready damned his own soul
this song takes me back to when I was on the mourns bench in a small country church in Louisiana, and of course we couldn't dance nor listen to music, everyone was up dancing & having a good time, I had to sit & watch. thanks marvin for all the wonderful music you have left us with. Lois
People use the word genius too much these days. But in the case of this man, that word ain't good enough. Absolute perfection in every way, best voice ever heard.
This is truly one of the greatest recordings of all time, ever. It's timeless. It transcends. There's some unspeakable pure magic to it. Some of Marvin Gaye's vocal lines in this song is beyond belief - totally fabulous beyond all measure.
wheatsolo. I have always wondered as a child who the bass player was. I was in love with this song at about the age of 6. He tore this song up. Now I know his name. He is/was a genious. Thanks Marvin, Thanks James.
Marvin was one of a kind. The world lost a great talent but we are still blessed with great recorded music like this. It is always hip, in style and anyone can get their groove on. Right on Marvin, right on........
Can you not read? I said Marvin was one of a kind, like Elvis was one of a kind. Elvis was KIng of Rock, Marvin was King of Soul. You need to go to anger management class. Get a grip! Calm down. Chill out.
I forgot all about this song. I cannot remember the last time I heard it. Takes me back to elementary school. Another great tune from handsome Marvin!!
