This is one of my favourite songs period. Marvin Gaye is my favourite singer along with MJ, and this song just makes you stop and think. 3 things for sure taxes, death and trouble, aint that the truth.....
He didn't have to cuss in his songs to be cool, he didn't have to jack an award from Barbra Streisand to be cool, he didn't have to shoot Otis Redding to be cool, he didn't have to beef with Sam Cooke to be cool, he didn't have to have all the hoes to be cool...it just came naturally. Cheers to the King of Kool................
The years fade by but NOT the WONDERFUL memories of those GOOD times with such BEAUTIFUL and CREATIVE people. What a CREATIVE and EXCITING time it was. NOT like the BORING and DEAD times we live in now. Those times will NEVER die.
Thumbs up if you're a pure music fan!!! R&B, Soul, Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, Classical, etc. Glad a movie brought some people here. But, it's sad that folks have been on the planet this long and never gave anything a chance until they heard it on a soundtrack. As though people have never heard of Marvin Gaye. If you're young, of course, this excludes you. You had to hear it from a third-party in order to be put onto it.
Dear god. Im 18 and just found this music... please send me a list of this kind of music, ive listened to rap and hardcore my whole life. this cuts straight to the soul guys. this is music
haunting melody a song that seends chills thru your body absolutely genuis thats the name Mr marvin gaye( Trouble man) goes by. you just dont hear anything today that could match this kind of genuis.
hey im 28 years old ive been knowing about this song for years might i add that im of hispanic race and this is the shit for anyone who love gangster ass music like this and this aint the only song out there either str8 pimp shit
@chris13la This is not "gangster/pimp shit"!!! That's a very simplistic view of the man's work. This was made for all people going through hard situations in hard times. Whether they were in the streets or not. Marvin Gaye never promoted pimping and gangster lifestyles nor did he make it for that purpose. If you felt it, you felt it.
@MrTMCakaTonyMacaroni Its simplistic way of phrasing things for sure but when you're caught up in a hustler lifestyle you can really identify with Marvin's work. Not because its "Hustler music" but because it identifies with a lifestyle & places & times that have people making all sorts of attempts to get by & get out be it via hustling, music, or any other way we get by and get on.
i listen 2 this song constantly. th musicality & artistry in all marvin's songs, particularly this 1, 4 me, is OUTSTANDING in every possble way. noone rings my bell th way marvin does. marvin is th epitome of soul & music, individually & 2gether. he rocks me - may th musical SOUL PRINCE R.I.P.
@offbeatbop I know; no-one seems to know it's from the film of the same name and that Marvin did the soundtrack but only sang vocals on one song, this one.
According to American Masters PBS, Marvin, home from a tour, staying at his parents house found his father being very abusive to his mother. This had gone on for years, Marvin stepped in and beat up his father. His father, a cross dressing, Pentecostal minister went into his room, got the gun (that Marvin had given him some time earlier) and shot his son twice. The second time killing him.
If you only know of this legendary artist and song because of Bobby Mercer than shame on you...... This is a classic way far beyond the thought of Four Brothers.
2:14 to 2:29 its like tech nine, but an old skool kick ass version of marvin gaye, get laid to this tru artist, trust me, this guy will set the mood, not this song but his other shit... also al green look it up.
Let these words be for the illuminated ones, Our time is here our time is now. We've been oppressed for a reason. Our Black Spirit is the Infinite eternal light that can never be stopped. That is why we have prisons today. Our Spirit energy has been studied. Look at Brother Aseer break down e=mc2. Trust me brothers and sisters you are not alone. Our journey hasn't even begun.
You have to face a Holy God on Judgment Day(Hebrews 9:27). He counts lust as adultery(Matthew 5:28) and hatred as murder(1 John 3:15). All liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire(Revelation 21:8). No thief will inherit the kingdom of God(1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved(John 14:6). YOU MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED! THERE'S NO OTHER WAY! There's no second chance after death, so repent NOW! Proverbs 29:1
