稀代の天才ソウルシンガーMarvin Gayeの永遠不滅の屈指の名曲,冒頭のMCから対訳付き歌詞を­読んで頂きたい!!我が日本も一体どうなってんだ?!の心境です­。

Thank you so much for this upload !!

[azteca40]

The album is a masterpiece and Marvin poured all his joy and pain into his music. A Complete legend who was way ahead of his time.

[Kaino956]

@tiger grumann, ryan leslie plays the guitar, drums, piano, sings and produces music. there is still good music, just don't expect to see it on mtv.

[abbeltuinstra]

He's articulating badly, thank god there are subtitles

[bossanovacassanova]

昔からこの曲を知っていましたが、この動画で歌詞を初めてしりま­した。

涙が止まりませんでした。

OMG, What soul, Marvin Gaye was the most soulful singer I ever heard.....The man was a pure genius! What a trageic waste of one of the most gifted singers/songwriters who ever lived! Thanks for sharing this video

[solesirching73]

This Saturday (5/21) will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of MG's album "What's Going On?"

Marvin Gaye was a Genius.

I love this performance it's perhaps the most powerful I ever saw.

As high as he soared he sank as low.

Even Genius exacts it's toll.

[TigerGrumman]

Marvin Gaye, was a piano player, song writer, singer and a POET! How much of that exists in the music industry today?

Of the Music Industry of today, I ask the timeless question: What's Going On?

[meltmyfacejesus]

he must have a really good mic if he didn't have to hold it all the way up to his mouth lol GREAT SONG!!!

[Jakeakdreday]

He died last night r.i.p

[forfaka]

He was a man but he also was a messenger.

[Streamline09]

Wonderful piano player too :-)

[fdtwinkletoes]

I hope the crowd understand english

[asbm90]

How can you even speak the Jonas brothers in the same sentence with any of these other artists?

[Hellv1992]

MARVIN GAYE IS FANTASTIC!!! <3 He is AMAZING! <3 A LEGEND <3 WHAT'S GOING ON? <3 fuck them 2 who missed the like button! MARVIN GAYE FOREVER! <3 LOVE YOU <3

[lanny69x]

hey people out there marvin gaye fans i love marvin also i did a couple of videos under marvin gaye impersonators and i am doing my best to lip sing some of his great tune please i am not here to kill a legend but to keep a gift that god gave us please type in Marvin Gaye Impersonators and let's us keep what Marvin wanted going

[ghanasoul]

GREAT clip!! i always wondered though why Marvin didnt do a medley of his hits on thi show instead of just doin ONE song. had he done "Sexual Healing" he wouldve given Michael Jackson a run for his money on this show.

[shydmples]

@ghanasoul It would've been awesome had he done Sexual Healing, but since he recorded that song with CBS instead of Motown, I don't think that could've/would've happened...but if you look at the Grammys of 83, Marvin got busy on Sexual Healing.

[lva3461]

@shydmples but remember Michael performed Billie Jean, and he recorded that for EPIC

[shydmples]

@lva3461 That is very true & that I definitely understand...but you know that it was a great thing that he performed his most important song "What's Going On' for Motown 25.....I'm glad that he did that landmark song instead of Sexual Healing...besides, he did Sexual Healing at the Grammy Awards. lol

[nosnetromj]

SUPERB. Watch Marvin work the mike--it reminds me of Sinatra. They say James Jamerson was in the house that night--having bought his own ticket to watch from the top balcony. :-( Wonder if the bass player was thinking of him... And why were more people not on their feet at the end?

[genxxxersize]

Does this awesome tune ever get old? NO! :o) ~peace~

[HayatTubeChannel]

HayatMusicChannel !!!

[mdc815]

Always will love anything Marvin Gaye! Still in search of this show on DVD. Motown 25

[rickw1100]

Surely, his greatest performance. How very profound. Thank you for posting this.

[Maverick774]

Just the piano playing alone is mesmerizing!

[lekilani]

AWESOME!!!!

[IMB2U]

[nikostrik123]

[bwall002]

Splended performance. When will this gem finally be released on DVD?

[loMJveable]

[SCHATZCOREx3]

momentos .lindos em minha viadaaaaaaa

[lappyrod]

beautiful teeth...

[allbuzzedup1]

The bass player matches Marvin for excellence on this performance-totally outstanding version

[yec50]

The year was 1983 Motown 25  celebrating 25 years of Motown Music

[BoogieKnight1976]

I beleive this was one of his last stage performances before he was murdered.

[1970brenz]

what year is this??

[mothugs4lyfe]

I GOT THIS ON VIDEO! MOTOWN 25

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

he inspires me as a singer a songwriter a woman a human being a person who loves everyone no matter where they are born or what language they speak,....Marvin....you stay in my heart always....

[simplyred92]

marvin i love you!

[HOODHONEYS]

sometimes you become more than a artist.

Marvin became are identity, as black men, as black people, as human beings.

[shydmples]

His performance on the Grand Piano is priceless. I can watch that over & over.

[futuristicplayer]

marvin's music heals my soul, all the time! i only wish this performance was more personal; same way he started on the grand piano.

[xshredderrx]

bass IS smokin

[MedlynMartin]

Marvin oh brother Where are you I feel you deeply as if you are here with me in my bedroom under my silk sheets

There is just too much beauty in this one man Its not fair I am sypathetic to those who hate Some people are so blessed

our consolation Music lives Yes brother marvin you have done well

[allbuzzedup1]

wow-I wonder who is on bass for this show-it is a really smokin variation on Jamerson;s original-it sounds like the player is using a pick-fabulous

[Bassman968]

I think it was Freddy Washington

[MidwestOldSchoolDude]

I usually don't like songs live but this one is the best of all time. Motown, get with it and get the Motown 25 on dvd. We have lost so many that performed that night. Bring them back for the fans.

[bwall002]

I totally agree. It's been 26 years since Motown 25, it's about time for it to be released on DVD. As for this performace, one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. No one can sing like Marvin Gaye.

Maybe, just maybe, with the new interest of Michael Jacksons famous performance of Billie Jean due to his death, maybe we'll finally see it released on DVD.

[karinaport]

It's already on DVD, it's called THE MOTOWN COLLECTION and includes ''Motown on Ready, Steady, Go'', ''Motown 25'' and ''Motown returns to the Apollo'' parts I and II. You can probably find it at E-bay.I can't remember wher I got my copy. Chubby Portugues

Puerto Rico

Enjoy!!

[isaiahangelo]

I can see in this performance that Marvin forsaw the neo-soul movement by 25 nearly 30 years!!!! Genius...sheer genius!!! Don't tell me Marvin wasn't a visionary

[TSpancer80]

this intro is really MAGIC!!!! Love it. RIP

[onlyoneman23]

Can You believe in his Entire Career 1 Grammy. And it was Sexual Healing. Solely because who was, and still is in control of what is defined of as Music Today. I Love All Races and Greeds But White America, not my brothers directly to my right which consist of all creeds, But those dedicated to Power, Money, and Control that have Corrupted, and Made Mockery of Music.

[onlyoneman23]

Marvin Gaye to Chris Brown, 2Pac to Soulja Boy, Beatles to the Jonas Brothers, Aretha Frankln to Beyonce, Patsy Cline to Taylor Swift & Miley Cruise. Whats Goin On?

[viniciuslennon]

@onlyoneman23 yes, I'm stupid, but could please explain to me what your comment means? xD thanks

[bwall002]

Tell me about it. Actually, I believe he won 2 grammys that night, but still. It makes me mad that some of todays artist have a whole case full of grammys and a true legend like Marvin Gaye have to go an entire career before he's finally rewarded.

No offense to John Legend, who I like, but he already has like 5 grammys. What is going on?

[onlyoneman23]

I agree with you...Its like Music was like everyone's resting place for peace and reasoning when all is gone and taken away what else is to live for when creativity and freedom of spirit is taken away?

[byfordd]

motown 25 marvin gaye at his best come on motown get the dvd out waited to long
