Marvin Gaye-Forever

[jojothecuzo]

Im high can I just hear the song lol

[algthedrill]

he sung this sone like he loss tammi terrel

[MsEdiePedie7]

Gosh Marvin sounded like a Man who was totally Commited to Loving. This song is sooooo Beautiful

[LordIam1]

On this song Marvins voice sounds similar to Jermaine Jackson. When Marvin died Jermaine went into Berry Gordys office and begged him to let him portray Marvin if Motowns movie division made a movie about Marvin Gaye.

[ROCKNROLLFAN]

He sung in a feminine high voice on this one....

[jayfey77]

maybe i should put this song up.that way people can hear it without that far away sound.straight from vinly of course.

[MsCeline]

[MICKEYSMONKEY]

marvin gaye.......true virtuoso

[redboneweeze]

[aljabi2008]

MARVIN SOUNDS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL

[DaddyClb]

I loved your commentary as well as the song itself. The instrumental track is the same as The Marvelettes' version (which was common back in the day with Motown). This slow grinder is timeless. Great post, MotownMaster!!!

[rachel7036]

very nice..I like hearing about how the songs are made

[cicastle]

R.I.P. Marvin You would have been 71 4-2-2010

[datsdabomb]

I love this version of "Forever" by Marvin Gaye. It's kind of hard to find, but not impossible. Thxs for posting!!

[PELONSOLDIES]

u should listn to the versn of henry pena and the kasuals i think its a betr versn

[DanMorgan98]

Are you smoking crack? I went and heard that version and those guys can't even play their instruments and the lead singer can't keep up with the rhythm of the song, plus he sounds like he just finished sniffing spray paint.

[Individuell83]

nice version :)

the first version of the song I heard was by the vandellas then the marvelettes version and finally marvin's and I have to say yes it's great :)

do you have baby don't you do it by the supremes?

bw

marvin

[DanMorgan98]

I have the CD with this song. My favorite Marvin Gaye song. Amazing.

[Swag2Spare]

Wonderful

[grimcinder]

I NEED this record to complete my Marvin Gaye collection!!

[actionman724]

good one Motown Master.

[xunclexx]

This was my exclusive party ender during the summer of 1965. The A-side (How Sweet It Is..) was alright, but in my part of Detroit, Forever was the Slow-drag party ender. It was replaced later with Gladys Knight (and the Pips) Its Time To Go Now.

[regcart]

Love this version Marvin sounds great on this song. 2nd best version next to the original.

[hepette]

wow a stone crooner even better than smokey more original ahead o f his time..........WOW

[PABSTMAN138]

i want to dance to this at my wedding.

[olstuff]

Wow! A younger Marvin with the higher voice is incredible in this version.

[591923]

I remember this song being on the B side of the 45my parents had" and it was the only version we heard in our area. I love this song so much and I have been looking for it everywhere and can't find it. Thank you so much for sharing it and please don't remove it. I can't hear it anywhere but here!

[jarbon5]

Never heard this before (long before my time), but I love it. Love how he's pleading with this woman. Very tender and so innocent. Don't get songs like this nowadays.

[THEmotownboy]

I posted a duet version of "Forever" with Marvin and The Marvelettes...Please see the video responses above.....Thanks.

[byrd1nypa]

Do you have the version BRIAN HOLLAND did. He wrote the song...

[visarmy]

i absolutely adore this version.

thanks for sharing

[timmy841212]

RIP, MARVIN!

I love this track... I can see why this was played at dances back then. =)

[artfemus]

marvins was good but process and the doo rags did it the best

[MeEnUh13]

luuuv it..

[tomsokoli]

why do you shut it and listen?..theres a fast forward on this you wack ass dummy

[sameeh109]

Coming from Cleveland in the 60's we were familiar with both versions of "Forever" and there was no conflict. the Marvelettes version was the benchmark and Marvin's recording was the "singers style" version. The best one to slow dance to with the girls was Marvin's version. Also, the northcoast fraternity of DJ's (Cleveland , Chicago, and Detroit) were always flipping 45's for strong vocal covers.

[pookietooth]

thanks for the insightful intro. it makes it a lot more interesting to those of us interested in the history of all those songs we listened to as kids. I respectfully disagree with the comment made that this was the version favored at dances of the time. The Marvelettes version was the only one I knew of. At least in Los Angeles this I believe was true.

[MisterQuebec]

You're the first one to make a personal introduction of a song. Thanks.

[pmattiej]

this is my favorite song ever thanks for posting it brings back memories

[jpm14308]

This is one of my favorite songs my Marvin. His version was more popular at the dances than the Marvellettes' version. I bought the 45 when it came out and still have it. What great memories. Thanks for posting.

[chakarnis]

Wasn't that the flips side of "Can I Get A Witness"? That was '62-'63. I was living in Compton at the time. Shortly after, the Watts riots broke out..... trip....

[MotownMaster]

once again if you dont like it, DON'T WATCH IT!

[olstuff]

Thanks for posting this amazing version of this song. I have never heard this version before. One of my favorite Marvellettes tunes. Marvin must have been young with that high voice.

[numbers2323]

Wow...this is a great version. I love the Marvelettes version, but this is really good- almost couldn't tell its Marvin Gaye.

[callie219]

Can someone help me find the song Forever as it was sung by Marvin Gaye? Thanks!

[trevycoley83]

any marvin fans please check out my rendition of "forever" in my favorites section.keep up the good work MotownMaster.

[MotownMaster]

dude if you dont like it, then dont watch it

[MotownMaster]

No it was Wanda, i know that voice anywhere, and its been well documented that it was Wanda Young

[yorbud]

I totally agree with your descriptions of each singer's version (Marvin's innocence and Wanda's hunger) ... however I think it was Gladys Horton who was lead on Forever by the Marvelettes.

Both such dynamic songs!

[trevycoley83]

damn, i love this version, i have an alternate version of marvin on this one,that's kinda weird but this is a heartfelt classic mos def

[johnpeaceful]

"FOREVER" is just the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed both the Marvelettes version and the one done by Marvin.

[ronowebtech4u]

This file has become corrupt, also you need adjust you speed on your phonograph. You are so right this is a great song as well as, "Now That you've won me" Please repost I'd love to have these. be watching

[scottepants]

Marvin outdoes Wanda on this one, and I love Wanda! Thanks for posting.

[MayellenB]

I was in the 12th grade in 1965 and this song was on the B side of one of his hits. I have been looking for this song for years and nobody knows that it ever existed. This has always been my favorite piece from Marvin and As Bob Hope always said, "Thanks for the memories".

[plukie26]

i like how marvin sing it to.

[RomeDogg9]

24 years ago today, God called the greatest artistic soul home. RIP Marvin, Everybody should take off today and tomorrow (his 69th b-day)...and go on a Marvin Gaye Binge!

[plukie26]

you guys are so write its know decent music out here any more.

[MICKEYSMONKEY]

I miss the implied innocence of music back then...Marvin was pure genius.

[juliet24440]

I agree with you completly MICKEYSMONKEY.

but nowadays when you turn on the radio. all

you here is oh I'm so g, or I want 2 fuck

that girl. And here's my favorite one. I want

2 kill that motherfucker. I swear, you can't

even here good, decent music anymore.

[paul51]

I never heard this by Marvin . . . thanks.

[januwerygirl]

This song brings back childhood memories. Thanks for posting it.

[sharonfree]

I remember this, I'm from Detroit and at 13 or so I loved this song. Than you

[beefoneeto]

Can you post The Temps Mind Over Matter?

[MotownMaster]

i Do have a vid on that, its an older one

[beefoneeto]

Wow-that would be great.They recorded that as the Pirates I think-originlly done by The Diablos.

[nwnativez79]

@beefoneeto my song !!!!!

[VTERRELL]

Thanks so much, I had forgotten about this version. It sounds so magnificent until I feel like crying. So very beautiful, and touching to hear Marvin's sweet melodic voice. Forever, Marvin, Forever!

[NJDolphin23]

Oh yes, this one is by far one of his best to me. It's incredible. Although it sounds different than the mp3 I have... The tempo is a little faster on this one. Hmm... Thanks for posting!

[purepeche]

i own this on vynl and cd from both artist. it should have been marvin's song to begin with. well that is only my opinion. great song.

[leggsthatdance]

I have been looking for this for years. Thanks for posting this!

[JSG1951]

I love this version.I've been hoping it was coming to you tube.I also love The Marvelettes version.This song is so melodic & beautiful!!Thanks!!

[Individuell83]

It's very funny to hear that the backround singers were loosed at this days and so the Supremes do the backround at ''How sweet it is to be loved by you''

[teeme5247]

ive never heard this rendition but i like it, i like it better beause i like marvin gaye

[fdostoyevski]

even as a musical "purist", i have to say this version was well rendered by marvin. it didn't really stray away from the original version. thanks for posting!

[TheMotownAmbassador]

I love "No Good Without You" from this album, it's an amazing Marvin Gaye song. I'm gonna go listen to it now!

[chgosatrap]

YES!!!!!!!

[zzMEXX93zz]

One Of My Favorite Marvin Gaye Songs.
