Ain't That Peculiar- Marvin Gaye

[tonkatsubiatch]

2:39, he clearly says "I fuck you n your ass"

[bolder2009]

Marvin didn't think he needed the 'charm school', and he was right. He was a stubborn kind of fellow.

[charlestonchewy]

One person disliked this? Ain't that peculiar :-P

[stanner72]

i love how he steps with them at :23!

[stanner72]

this is incredible marvin/ smokey, with Marvin LIVE, and the Funk Bros. Pre Recorded, closest to tha real thang babay....

[tigerpaint1964]

COOLEST VOICE IN MOTOWNJ

[SuperPissflaps]

MARVIN GAGE IS COOL AS FUCK

[EuphoriaPiana]

I can tell this was live b/c MG sang this differently... as a matter of fact BETTER than the actual recording, TBH [like Stevie Wonder - yet another Motown alum still does to this day]. Very dated w/ MG's highwater drainie pants and the mid-'60s Zombie Mod style and the Bob Fosse-ish choreography. The Beatles [and the Rolling Stones] were hot then.

[DuranFan09]

Japan's version was great as well, although they pretty much made it their own, seeing as it doesn't share the same melody or tempo.

[OxnardSoCal805]

Wish i was around to witness these times?????

[gayle2020]

Yeah many artists today could benefit from charm schools like they had back then.

Happy Birthday Marvin gone but never forgotten 2/4/39 to 1/4/84 Rest in Peace

[rickydfcc77]

@davidlangzelli That was 4/2/39 to 4/1/84. Just saying.

[ChestertonsBulldog]

Whoever disliked this must have accidentally hit the wrong button . . . what a fantastic piece of music. . .

[ChestertonsBulldog]

Greatest. Love. Pain. Song. EVER!

[sly821]

This man!!

[sly821]

AIN'T BEEN A NIGGA LIKE HIM SINCE.

[MrSphibe]

If your wondering about the guitarist(s) on this track it's likely The Funk Brothers team,Eddie"Chank"Willis,Joe Messina and Robert White.The Funk Brothers layed down all those vital music tracks for Motown acts in the 1960's.Check out "Standing in the Shadow of Motown" DVD.

[stevenjromero]

The greatest guitar riff i have ever heard bar none. Marv Tarplin of the Miracles is my guess (it's a Smokey song/production right?). Listen to Marvin here and then listen to Mick singing the chorus of Satisfaction (which was recorded in Hollywood at RCA on the heels of this release).

[ACETYGRA]

The 60s will forever be an amazing decade!

[selene2317]

Good song

[Sixtiesfreak]

funny how they had the female dancer at the end stare right up at him.

[chiguyintexas2]

UYea Berry Gordy made all the money. I read George's book as well. You missed the part about the "shady" contracts he had his acts sign & how disgruntled they became.

[KCJohn62]

This song never loses its impact, or gets tedious, actually seems to get better the more you hear it. An uncommon feat.

[sly821]

I was 12 years old then. This was one of his first.

[lotty506]

@sly821 You mean to tell me that someone says this is spam; after all the republicans put us through? Has to be a republican because they are the only ones who can't relate to anything especially Marvn Gaye.

[babs98019]

What a fiine man. I never get tired of his voice.

[sujeira2007]

marvin is the best....

marvin e muito bom mesmo!

=p

[dasofinelady]

MY BABY!!!

[jennclark06]

Marvin is so fine!

[anfieldroad2005]

Hi i had two black and white clipps of tempts singing my baby and dont look back but they went from you tube do you think we will get them back i was sick when they got taken off.

[MrSphibe]

@anfieldroad2005 Go ask Barry Gordy's lawyers.Probably snagged on copyright grounds.Which is sad when labels like WEA do that as posting videos seem to me to only keep interest in the acts alive to younger audiences.

[microdot]

I love the finger snappin bouffant intro...

Marvin is still the best!

[Theoryn]

Yeah Marvin is great.

[MaverickMuze]

I LOVE MARVIN.
