KILLING IT, what a slick hero

[MaximumCowboy]

White women in Germany went CRAZY for Marvin Gaye!!

[aknowneemus]

[amd77j]

My aunts just went crazy whenever Marvin performed on TV during this era. Goodness!!! LOL.

[lizzieceltics]

He had the voice of an angel-love him!!!

[Soulman785]

Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, so silky smooth and a true artist.

[mattdaddyful]

I miss MARVIN...There will NEVER be another Michael or MARVIN....RIP

[ohiogirl912]

@mattdaddyful so true, so true..

A #1 hit for Marvin Gaye on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 133rd #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #8 on the Top 40 charts. There is no doubt that Marvin Gaye was bcoming a force on the music scene.

[bernpiel]

To say Marvin Gaye is the greatest ever is just an understatement. This guy rocked my life from the time I first heard him when I was 18 and he continues to move my soul and spirit even now at 65. Rock on, Brother Marvin----you are sorely missed.

@motorcityquig- i can believe it, feller. Legend.

[motorcityquig]

I saw Marvin with the Motown Review in Detroit back in 1964. All I can say is the women went nuts when he hit the stage.

[ohiogirl912]

What a great singer....

[dw45761]

Thank you for this. I'm 60, my era is dead and I miss it so much.

[50sVintage]

@dw45761

We all who grew up then miss it terribly. Thank heaven for youtube.

[bernpiel]

@50sVintage Right on brother 50sVintage, Right On! I'm just discovering the beauty of YouTube and the ability to see genius like Marvin Gaye after all these many years. Can't wait to check out Otis Redding, James Brown and Sam Cook--JUST FOR STARTERS. And I've got the whole weekend for this..........

[CalypieAndroid]

marvin gaye was feeling this, I believe he was in pain, and suffering in a relationship.

[graemeoliver84]

What a great artist. So sad how he died young.

[9577frasier]

@QIIMO i dont know about that but ill give you some marvin fire just let me know

[BrutusMcCrunch]

the fools who grab the mike these days in the name of "R&B" are garbage.

THIS is music right here.

[theflowerchildblog]

doesn't get better than marvin

[rmartinlisa]

perfect

[sly821]

I have lived the better years of my life and Marvin, Still Bill, Otis, Gladys, Steely Dan and so many others were there. Music is my 1st hobby now. Look out YouTube.

[nine9baller]

just imagine what it must have been like in the hittsville studio. incredible music coming from the building all the time. music that's more than 45 years old-------and STILL SOUNDS GREAT!!!

[twhootis]

Great performer! Strut your stuff, Marvin!

[Christlessgrave]

What a handsome man he was!

[chrissen1]

BTW-this was NOT sung live by Marvin-it was performed in front of a live studio audience that listened to him lipsinc-listen to the original it's exactly the same.

It's all good though

[Baaf51]

Can't get much better than this...

[charrmmee]

[JackFlemingFan]

Excellent!! 

[deadwoodgulch]

A great artiste really enjoying himself.Thanks for the upload Soulkings.RIP Marvin & thanks for sensational songs like this.

[lotty506]

I do believe that Sir Smokey Robinson wrote this one. Another Giant.

[rjpancerniCAUSA]

This song is about an abusive relationship. A verbally abusive woman. (sez me.)

[fodsaks]

Always reminds me of 'American Splendor'.

[1pingfasily]

Nice dodge putting "Thesoulkings" over BBC4 ICON ,....NICE 1

[LeeshLove]

AMAZING.. one of the best singers ever. I love motown i wish music was still like this

[aidaabebe]

wish I was alive then to see this.

[aidaabebe]

ahhhh. amazing. I like his earlier works like these more than his later ones.

[merryfieldmorgan1]

Hand claps were duplicated by slamming 2 X 4 wood pieces of lumber together with a hinge at the bottom. This was told to me by Motown engineer Ed Moon when he produced a session for Johnny Thunders at Livonia Sound. So we used it on "Crime of The Century" and "M.I.A."

[Loodiebin]

he is pure truth!!!!!!!!!!

[donnaperrault]

Whoa yeah motown vibe. Great video. Thanks.

[MelMediaServices]

This is one Marvin's early hits...just a great song that shows his vocal range....feeling this Motown vibe today.

[Sehoy1]

He's so cute in this. I just love his smile.

[martmako]

joyous glorious fantastic track blessings all round for posting this beautiful gem of a classic

[fusheeny]

the greatest singer ever

[refk0000]

@fusheeny Without a doubt. The whole motown scene was bigger than life. Imagine if there were no racial barriers to hurdle??? The success they earned would have been a flicker compared to what they could have accomplished....

[9577frasier]

@fusheeny wow someone on you tube with some sense

[HipHop226]

@fusheeny Sam Cooke is the greatest singer ever

[Kevierae]

@HipHop226 Mahalia Jackson is the greatest singer ever!

[Helmarsuz]

@fusheeny

ok with you! I'm still in love...
