i wish they would do a movie on Marvin. But u GOTTA come correct and find a REAL actor to play him. Not an R&B singer who will be a box office draw. A real actress to play Tami too. Just like Hale played Dorothy Dandrige, they can get people to lip sync the songs.
R.I.P. Marvin...here's to hoping they put your life on the big screen sooner than later!!
Why did i cry, why do the words, and this sweet voice touch my heart and soul so, Because music is the soul of the man, music makes a happy day, music makes the clouds roll by baby, music kissed my tears and dried my eyes....WHATTTT??? Marvin is something else, that words just cannot describe.
Happy 72nd birthday, Marvin! Your lyrical/vocal mastery never fails to ignite the mind with excitement and your soulfulness continues to stir the Spirit. Thank you ;)
For those of you wondering, this is from a 2 CD set call Midnight Love: The Studio Sessions. It includes (1) the full length commercial LP and (2) a compilation of various unreleased versions of various cuts from the album including the original studio version (heard here) I've Got My Music. It includes a booklet about Marvin and the origins of his last LP. Interestingly, he was going to release this (clean) version but changed his mind and rewrote the lyrics that implied his sexual prowness.
This had to be recorded after his death, cause only heaven can produce like this. Every modern day R&B "artist" should make this there they're insprarion
This has got to be THE baddest acappella version of any song I have ever heard. Goodness gracious, Marvin is doing it all....and it all sounds so freakin' good!!!!!!!!!!! The brotha was filled with talent.......damn I miss Marvin!!!
Without any doubt, and as far as soul music is concerned. Marvin Gaye is one of greatest vocalist of all time. He is gone but his music will never never never die. A true legend.
@arkansoul I agree with ya.......And I would say this dude was ahead of his time and these folks nowadays need to listen to artists like him and to see what real music is supposed to sound like. Let's see these manufactured voice having idiots sing an acapella even half as good.......
@XplicitVocalz Actually, Marvin was the cream of the crop...PERIOD. Artists(for lack of a better word) today could really listen to any singer from back in the days until the mid-90s. Cats had to bring it and still, some great vocalists got slept on, anyway.
@arkansoul Yeah he was the best of the best, and Marvin is my favourite singer, so I'm always listening to some beautiful music by a man with a voice that was so incredible and flawless. It's like I always say if I was stranded on an Island and had to choose two artists' cd's I could be stranded with I'd pick a Marvin Gaye and 2Pac.
That African tradition of call and response is ever present in this brothers compositions. Super tight harmonies, effortless tone. You can ACT like he wasn't a genius, but you really know better....
@bandibreath Another artist whose sound is similar to Marvin in that aspect is Dwele. You should look up some of his songs. He uses his own voice as the background and doesn't use anyone else as a backup.
hell yeah man...while marv is in the both singing his ass off with a sliver of cocaine dust on his nose, i wish i could be there snapping my fingers macking to gals and drinking and dancing my ass off...
Listen to all of his voices sounding just like music. He played chords with his harmonies that you don't even miss the keyboards. AMAZING!!! Nobody did it better!!!
Man I love this song.... Marvin Gaye, MJ and Luther are my favourite singers and this song shows why.... When a person can sing acapella so beautifully you can't help but stop, listen and groove to it...
OMG!! This man was and is so damn bad. He sang the backgrounds. the chorus. the lead. and if that don't beat all his musically inclined bad ass did the instrumentation. got damn i miss him so.
Gotta get the 2-disc special edition of 'Midnight Love'. You won't find it with music because it was an original a capella outtake from those sessions, different lyrics and all...
My skin curdles when some of these newer cats get compared to Marvin. They don't have what he had - the vocal mastery, the emotion...ah, Marvin the Master. R.I.P. :D
Must be required listening for all vocalists, lead and background. He did all his own backing vocals, music was this man's therapy! Check out his vocal placement, and his doo-do-do-do's. Isolating vocals help to see just how in tune one is singing, Thanks for posting this.
he did in fron t of the console board with mic on the board or lyng down....He Michael Jackson never wrote their lyics down....they do it in their head....
Wow....never heard this one and I grew up in Detroit. Must a been that AM radio never played it. Too young to buy the albums back then. Not on greatest hits. Very cool
i love this song!!!!!!..... i perfer this one than the one that was released on the album!!!! the music those it no justice!! the accapella is the only way to enjoy it!!! or the remake w/ eric sermon..which is how i was turned to this version!!!!!!!
Marvin's saying it So! right! Calling his woman Music,that's the greatest compliment you can give anywoman. When a Woman can come to you and you start Hearing Music! Ahh!.. they way she talks,walks,move,feels,Her Heavenly Scent,the way she looks at you,Her touch! Your Music! yes! Real thearapy!!
music does indeed calm the savage beast!) gotta love him!

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
