Nice and simple. Not a lot of distraction, just pure voice...what's missing today. You go to a concert, and realize that the person you paid big money to see cannot even sing.
Tammi Terrell is definitely one of the greatest soul singers of all time. And she was Marvin Gaye's best partner for duets over Diana Ross, Kim Weston, Oma (I forgot her last name- no disrepect intended), and Mary Wells. Rock and roll and soul!
Wow, this is pure GOLD!!! Too bad Tammi passed on at such a terribly young age. She was clearly just gettin' warmed up. Best duet partner Marvin ever had, too. Damn shame...
I think I love this more than the Stevie Wonder version.....Didn't even know Tammi did this until recently. Her voice is soooooooo beautiful. LUV this song!
I stumbled on this version by accident. Never knew that Tammie sung this. Simply beautiful. OMG… classic, I am 29, and grew up in a household filled with music. I can not stop listening to this version, maybe one day when I get married my bridal party will walk in to this version(lmao). I can’t express how glad I am for true soulful music, with real depth, harmony, vocal arrangements, musicianship and did I say soul. Thank you.
@SoulsurferUK08 it's kinda bitter sweet. Having read about her life and then hearing her voice. Plus I've always liked the Stevie version and now that I've heard this one I'm like keeping this on LOOP haha
@SoulsurferUK08 44year old eh! music must be the only industry that does not make progress,this industry is going backwards, lets face it they sure can't sing like this nowadays,can you imagine on x factor with vocals like this,no neither can i
All respect to Brenda Hollaway but you have to give credit when it's due my favorite female singer of all time, ironically, did a much prettier job on this song. Rest In Paradise Thomasina
I saw her at the Regal Theater in Chicago, IL in 1961 (or 62) with Marvin Gaye. I got a chance to go backstage. She was having headaches then. Marvin really loved her and losing her could have been the start of his problems. Also, Little Stevie Wonder came down from Detroit and sang his hit "Fingertips." Those were the days.
I heard this song yesterday at the first time..and i can't get it out of my head!!it's beutiful and full of love:)))i really want to feel something like this about someone.
I guess that`s the magic of early Motown, great quality and built to last. Thanks for the comment, years apart in age, but we both know quality when we hear it mate.
Love Brenda, but this version is a personal favourite for me, and Tammi`s vocal is better, but it`s all good and we all have our own favourites. Many thanks for the comment.
WOW - so this is where Cleptomaniacs - All I Do (Bump & Flex Club Remix) had originated from!
