I love the Beatles...always have...but this cover and James Brown cover of "Something"....I just have no words. This cover ALWAYS bring tears to my eyes. I just wish I was old enough to experience him while he was living. May your soul rest in peace Marvin
The best cover but too much "soul" or perhaps his voice is too rich for the pain ridden simplicity that is required by the song and so wonderfully provided by Paul.
Not a huge fan of this version, I really like the original. I thought the original caught the mood and feelings of the day. This version's not bad but the original was a lot better to me.
Marvin did yesterday wow it make me cry the pain how he sing the song make u feel that it ok to be yourself & let out how u feeling at that moment peace.
Well first off, YESTERDAY was written by Paul McCartney and sung SOLEY by him, the other three wern't involved in the recording, but I do AGREE with your assestment that Marvin's version was more meaningful and soulful. Even Paul LOVED this version.
But no matter who sings or records this-Paul get's the royalty checks EVERYTIME it played on the radio or sung by another artist!
@laloyyoli1 The Beatle songs were from Northern Songs publishing which began in 1963. The only songs he doesn't own are the few that were published before; "Love Me Do", "P.S. I Love You", "Please, Please Me" and "Ask Me Why." So, he owns almost all of the 'Lennon & McCartney" songs. He only gets 50% of the royalties. Paul and Yoko get the other 50%. Apparently, he did not own any of George's songs because his publishing contract with Northern Songs expired in 1968.
This version has far more depth and emotion to it than the original. I find the original by John lennon to be essentially 2 dimensional and this one to be effectively a three dimensional version of the song by a soulfull person who carries the weight of the world in his voice.
Marvin went through two divorces at the same time so love songs and song of sorrow caused by love is his thing even if he is covering. His voice is excellent in all respect and unique. He sings from his heart. he feels his songs. Truly the Prince of Motown
This is my first time hearing Marvin sing this song and I'm trying to think of something clever to type but can't - I'm too emotional to think clearly. This is mind blowing. Marvin was the absolute best.
@ProtaJ No one will argue that Donny's voice is immaculate (and I do like his version too). However, I'm more about the rawer quality, so I'm going with Marvin but I dig your opinion and thanks.
@ProtaJ I do too. The strings take me somewhere else. Gotta love the Detroit Symphony (who played just as much a part in Motown's music as the Funk Brothers and its roster of artists did).
I also agree. I would listen to my father playing Marvin growing up and LOVE his voice, but I'm still more partial to the Beatles... maybe cuz its more commercial and catchy, but Marvin is right up there! I love both versions!
Love me some Marvin & this version is Excellent second only to Donnie Hathaway's version. They both are my favorite artists of all time. RIP troubled genius's !!
sounds like Paul & Marvin shoulda gotten together for at least something. This is still better than anything you can find on so called radio now

"too much soul" is like saying there "too much black" in the world.
WE INVENTED PAIN PAIN IS DARK AND THE SOUL IS WITHIN.
So what do you mean to much soul sir or ma'am?
It's ok, we'll wait....
