[jobete1964]

Oh no! what Marvin is doing is fine.I just laughed at the dancers, they look like they need winding up .

[jobete1964]

Love this vid of Marvin!

I'm a white guy myself but the white dancers look like ""tits in a trance""! and the backing singers are amazing ,I think its the vandellas?

[jobete1964]

@jobete1964 ,

oh shit it's the Blossons



[mjjcng8958]

@jobete1964 wellmarvin wasnt much of a dancer himself. but he wasnt allowed to dance when he was younger.

[flimbambo]

Marvin was like Motown's Otis Redding- and a gifted musician too.

[cartoonist1975]

What a Marvel ! Thank You for saving and postng !

[darktansuperman]

I LOVE THIS SONG IT REMINDS OF CHICAGO IN THE 60S

[kraftwerk456]

[froggyhoover]

ONE OF THE BEST

[froggyhoover]

NO ONE COULD DO IT LIKE MARVIN GAYE

[brendanbuyers2009]

Bass player is in the pocket!

[uszoninyc]

I LOVE; Marvin Gaye, On ShInDiG!, with the BLOSSOMS (and Darlen LOVE - sigh...), and last but NOT least Toni Basil, choreographing the ShInDiG dancers.

ShInDiG, and The TAMI and the T.N.T. Shows are the absolute BEST for AMAZING performances.

I could just watch these endlessly (which is what I'm doing now).

Anyone who posts clips from any of those 3 - a BIG 'thank you!' from NYC...

[mjjcng8958]

@uszoninyc how old is toni basil? lol but really how old is she

[donnamariemoreno27]

[nurikara]

'nough said!

[raveonsteviewoo]

Did any of you see the video on youtube, Tony Grant in "My Brother Marvin" - David Ruffin scene? David says, whenever you sing My Girl to my woman, best you sing Hitchhike.

[SAITOHBLADES]

You don't know the time that i was found this tittle "hitch hike" hahahahaha two years!!!! my friend two years!!!!!!! thank you very much greetings from Perú

[swdanielson]

lol@at the men in the white tuxes I wish somebody had thought of giving the backup singers a microphone, but they're doing a pretty good job over the speakers and the crowd. I love Marvin Gaye!!!!!

[loosestudios]

s Ashford and Beard were recruited to perform background work for Marvin Gaye on his second album, That Stubborn Kinda Fellow. Gaye's first hit records "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", "Hitch Hike" and "Pride and Joy", prominently featured the girls.

[GUYSLOVEDEMITOO]

early marvin

[msmasterjam]

(smiling) i dedicate this video to the young bucks!

[solesirching73]

I'm born in '73 - 10 years after this song came out. I've read that this song swept dance crazes all around this country. Anyone can do the Hitchhike even if you can't dance. Great song

[brandonbear1]

Obviously cuz those guys in the white tuxes are having a hard time doing the hitchhiek

[h1k2b3]

Marvin was the last person that needed to leave earth. Perhaps somewhere better?

[snoops71]

Love this song!

Amazing performance;-)

[nman48]

Mario Van Peebles resembles a younger Marvin Gaye.

[DENISE1CALDWELL]

any body know how to hitch hike it was a dance.

[mschest]

We use to do that dance to Marvin's song.

[DENISE1CALDWELL]

the dance was done a little nasty back then when i was doing it...I never notice the white guys in the back ground. I have this song and play it all the time

[coyotesong]

we just loved there was a song called hitchhike as we hitched around motown to beat those slow DSR buses. great song by a great man and singer.

[mzsandy1023]

I love me some oldschool music.Thanks for posting.

[ELRANDY11]

NO LIP-SYNC-ING HERE

[hagusmcfeeble]

plain and simple

[skyballer7]

Now that's what you call a "CLASSIC"...

[behdoc]

From his live performances you'd never know he suffered from stage fright.

[UncleCharlieOakley]

Now THAT is talent.

[hopediamond4real]

This was the Christmas special, and I love the scene with the overcoat and the snow!!! Ha!!!!!!!!! I have this on VHS somewhere...need to find it.

[smetch123]

I was born in 56 in Detroit and everybody loved Marvin. I was crushed when he died, kept thinking that it was a bad dream.

[floppybollox3]

I remember that too, it seemed so unreal, yes...just like a bad dream.

[funkkid3007]

this song is the reason im a fan...my grandfather use 2 always play this

[NkrumahTure]

The man, the music, the VOICE, Marvin Gaye.

In my opinion he should've won more than just the two grammys for "sexual healing" in 1983. They dissed him on the single, I Heard It Through the Grapevine in 1968; What's Going On, the single and the album in 1971; the Let's get it on album and single, 1973; the I Want You album and single, 1976. And the single Got to give it up in 1977. These songs were all nominated for grammys. Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder dominated the 70's in R&B.

[southensmokin]

@NkrumahTure what do you mean dissed him?

[floppybollox3]

Magic!

[54spiritedwill54]

He was awesome! One of the greatest performers of my era

[soxbearshwks]

remember watching this in our barracks when i was stationed in SoCal..we never missed

Shindig or Hull-a-balloo...

[JuveStriker]

wow you got to watch marvin gaye in the media during his prime?

I was born after he died so I can only go by what I hear on cd's and see on youtube.

How big was he back in the day? Obviously he was huge, but was he an absolute superstar that everyone really loved? How did white people feel about him generally whilst he was at MoTown?

[soxbearshwks]

he was one of the main talents at Motown.

whether he was loved there, i don't know.

there was a lot of racial tensions in the

60s, even in the Marine Corps, won't go into that though...but for sure, a lot of us liked their music, and still do..

[patric1127]

Ditto from a cracker from the Midwest. Marvin Gaye was recognized as a one of a kind superb talent by American youths (and a lot of older people) in the 60's onward. His songs were hits because he connected with everyone. Very likeable personality when he was interviewed on TV. What's goin' on was what everyone was askin' but nobody was singin' it like this man. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

Pat - Class of '65

[coyotesong]

Marvin was motown personified, i always thought.

He was unbelievable!! Even white kids knew it. Like me.

[floppybollox3]

I'm 60s born so too young to have experienced the early Marvin, but I can tell you the man is a legend, for everyone, real music transcends all barriers, and this man WAS real Music!

wat year was dat????

[gman1290]

1964

[gospelfanman]

SMOKING! make you put GOSPEL on the shelf for a few minutes! these kids would EXPLODE if they had to come up with just a pinch of the talent that these past artists could extract from a pinky. MERCY!

[mrpeanuckle]

Singers like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Mavis Staples & John Fogerty put more soul into a single line than you'll find in the whole careers of godawful hacks like Mariah Carey or Celine Dion.

[JuveStriker]

Whilst I agree with you, I cannot deny the vocal talents of Carey and Dion. Plus, they are not soul singers, in their defence.

[beaugarsNYC]

Who were the ladies singing background?

[dh1173]

The Blossoms feat. Darlene Love

[PimpFeed07]

I once married a marvin and he really was GAY

[soxbearshwks]

great song from my time stationed in Calif. 64/65...

[timmy841212]

MARVIN!!!!!

This performance is bad-ass and that's REAL singing, ladies and gentlemen. :)

[dynamite8503]

wow i've never seen marvin dance b4. he got some moves!

[pornblog]

So good... and they wonder why people in their 40's and 50's can't listen to current pop music... because we had the real thing, that's why. pure emotion, and real.

[marvtu]

I love also the Blossoms as back-up on the right side.

[ezepelini]

sem comentários, I believe, sinceramente, I believe In Marvin Gaye!!!

[gabrieleisner]

fUCKING LOVE MARVIN GAye!!!

[throwback2]

Real down to earth soul! I'm sorry but as far as "pop" music goes, nothing beats the 60's.

[sheryl225]

Thanks for posting

[SoulTooSoul]

This is a very soulful Marvin Gaye. He was always trying to grow. Marvin could sing sweet and pure with his falsetto. Or he could sing in a hard, more masculine tone. He could adapt to the song and setting. Marvin was one of a kind. He was Motown's uncut diamond.

[Chicago10281]

I thought it was released in December, 1962(the year it was recorded)

[furrypaco]

Marvin was really great in those years.

[Chicago10281]

Well, this 1962 cut by Mr. Gaye is featured on the Singing Machine's "Motown Original Artist Karaoke-I Just Want To Celebrate" with Diana Ross & The Supremes on the cover!

[JRandy76]

Out of control,Marvin was and still is the man!

[wintergreen88]

They should have rolled the credits after the song was over.

[MARVlNGAYE]

This is wonderful

[Homegirl1982]

Ridiculously sexy.

[Chicago10281]

Anybody remember 1962 when this song was out?

[chgosatrap]

yeah, i was in 2d grade at Immaculate Conception School. I was born and brought up in Old Town.

Chicago up in heah!! North Side!

[ctobias]

The Beach Boys and Marvin Gaye on one show. Man, what happened to pop music?!

[pieroangelo1]

great from italy!the old video motown are the best!!!

[Blackhawkphil]

The white man at the beginning is disingenuous.

[ferstday]

Hey Blackhawk I think he's tired cuz it's the end of the show.

[tcassity50]

One of the greatest performers of my era...miss him...could listen to his #$@# 24 hours a day!

[Chicago10281]

This Could Be The Liveliest Version Ever Of His 1962 Hit!(Released in December, 1962)

[34airflow]

He was awesome!

[rogeriop]

the best youtube

[90trinity]

Closing the show is a great thing,now they could've made the credits more smaller or something but closing isn't a bad thing!

[strlinmoss]

I dont think Marvin was going to miss his intro even if bobby sherman was still talking, that was great!

[1961FloridaBoy]

Beautiful and I loved it. Marvin did a great job. I`m watching this great video clip again. Well Done.

[peach60]

Marvin u so SEXY please baby stay tht way

[coolitababy]

I love the way Marvin starts singing just before the presenter has stopped talking. Adds to the groovy live vibe of this clip! So glad you've left this here, I keep coming back for another fix!

[tomovox]

The producers of Shindig were all about keeping the pace of that show as fast and vibrant as possible. If you ever get to see a full episode, you'd be amazed at just how quick-paced they kept things. Even after a slow balad, the next tune would start up almost before the singer hit the last note. It was a great show, and this is just an expample of how nobody was ever allowed to slow things down for a minute!

[peepspers]

so classic

[rogeriop]

bom de + english

[PeterJB]

Yeah, Marvin! I knew the first artist, and most earliest that would find a way to wear his microphone, would have to be Marvin!

[HumbleHarry]

Yeah, but check out the size of that suckah! That's one huge lavalier mic, and that cumbersome, protruding wire! I'd forgetten how primative the electronic equipment was back then. But Marvin sang his ass off anyway.

[rogeriop]

legal demas

[rogeriop]

hehehehe

[rogeriop]

bom

[babybash0603]

love him

[talktalk2]

THE BEST!!!!!

[coolhotlinks]

so cool. loved it! Thanks

[maryxmary]

I think Marvin Gaye deserved a little better than to be the ending credits act! An awesome find!

[coolitababy]

ABSOLUTELY terrific!

Shame the titles come on.

A great, great performance.
