Wow - this is great! Been digging on the What's Going On album for a few days now, and this is a real cool version. He does one of the greatest and one of his heroes justice.
Where is it from?
I saw Pino was mentioned, but isn't rare that he plays with JM's full band?
As someone who really doesn't like John Mayer's stuff, besides the Trio, he did a damn good job here. I love Marvin, but this might compare to some of his live performances - but nothing can top his studio recording off his album What's Going On; Marvin was just amazing.
thank you! i havent gotten a comment from a marvin gaye fan that was actually good. i am a fan of him myself, and like you, i think john did a good job too. nothing can ever compare to the original though. i'm just glad to see thet marvin gaye still lives in the hearts of fans and the covers of such arstist as john mayer.
How could you not like John Mayer?? I mean 1) He's so sick on guitar he's been compared to Jimi Hendrix 2) He's played with greats such as BB king and 3) His music actually has meaning to it.
It ain't Marvin, but Marvin's smilin' down on Mayer for giving what he gave to this song. Someday, Lord willing, they'll jam to this together.

Pino is deffo one of my favorites out there. He is so amazing and despite of his insane resume he is a bit under the radar.

Probably my favorite cover that John has ever done. That little trade off with dj logic at the end is priceless.
