Aint Nothing Like The Real Thing-Marvin gaye&Tammi terrell

[tomtowle]

With James Jamerson on bass...sublime

[peloduroo]

One day here in Uruguay, i went to the discostore to buy some soul disc ( i'm a fan of rock and roll, blues, jazz) But that day  i want soul and i saw a Motown collection!! Three discs with the best of Motown!!

And then began another world to me!!

[CroiRua01]

RIP Nick Ashford writer

[desert3347]

Still Makes Me Sad, Hearing This "Magnificent" Song,

Knowing they Were both Taken So Young.

So Much More Music for Them To Sing!

[medesdaddy]

NOW THIS IS MUSIC........PERIOD

[EricCamposMusic]

I'm 16 and i just gotta say motown is by far my favorite type music, though i my self probably couldn't pull it off, i sure as hell love listening to it. There is nothing like it today. i mean seriously, not to say there isn't touching music today but.... AINT NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING.

[mariabbb1964]

@EricCamposMusic just a baby what you no about pass music guess you are all grow up

[RFKFANTS67]

I'm 44 grew up listening to motown,rock,disco, man music sure has really changed for the worse! Same as the cars were built to last back then and unlike todays crap! They each had their own look, and name..2days cars all look the same..

[mariabbb1964]

@RFKFANTS67 agree

[stuartk]

[ziggyzoo97]

[DemonicRemption]

@talyn08 Please he can't hold a candle to any motown artist...

[MJBeLIEve7725]

"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" and this is "real" music!

It doesn't get any better than this.

I feel that people who try to re-create this (and many others)really doesn't have any respect for the original artist in the first place.

Long Live the Legends!

[jfrancisa]

It is a united record not motown ...bless you son... i agree though

[actinggirl1717]

i know right?

[kbcknr1]

best duet of all times

[HOMEnHIGH]

@kbcknr1 ...true... check this one out, youtube search....."stevie Wonder - I'm Gonna Make you Love Me (with Diana Ross) "...absolutly mind blowing..

[boomcc1]

@kbcknr1 i know rest in peace to the both of them, that fuckin

david ruffin and marvins dad

[mspsycho48456]

This song says it all!, there ain't nothing like the real thing!! this music is PRICLESS!

[actinggirl1717]

I LOVE this song! I'm obsessed with it! 

[tamekagreen]

@actinggirl1717 i feel the same way ;)

[teebee1984]

This is music

[DrJColeman]

Props to the Legendary Ashford and Simpson for composing/producing this classic and the majority of Marvin and Tammy's duets!!! Two of the greatest singers and composers behind them!!!

[RFKFANTS67]

Music of our time from the heart! music today???? from the hormones/lust..for "the most" part a throw away society of fast times ugh!

[ChrisMum]

You cerainly can't beat the music of the 70's..........Motown is the best ever!

Tammi and Marvin together..................ahhh­hh so dreamy!

Brings back memories......love it!

[817cindy]

@ChrisMum I grew up liseeinng too these songs and this is what i call music

[ChrisMum]

@817cindy

Hi Cindy, yes I was a teenager in the 70's and I still have all the great Motown LP's, I've just recently bought a CD of Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits, it doesn't have Ain't No Mountain on it, but many other great songs including some with Tammi.......but this song I think is their best.

Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing Baby is another sung with Tammi have you heard it?

[okstatetw]

Kanye is gonna make this a hit once again!!

[kankansa]

@okstatetw

For sure man. He finna kill it this year!!!!

[misstashface10]

[heliosol99]

I don't think I have heard a better duet than Tammi and Marvin. Much Love. RIP

[biancasteptoe]

@heliosol99 sowing the angels how to turn it up motown style :)

[beechnutgrl]

Yea to bad that things worked then and now---? Forget it. I'm 60y/o, feel 40y/o, - no houseayment , no car payments--- things happen then---:-)we had real love, going to to Costa Rica too see about moving there~~~~ moving where there's Peace, love, no army----can't leave that sister down the rd. in that doublewide-He's the bomb~!!

[MultiLuigi2010]

[M0hj]

@MultiLuigi2010

She died of a brain tumour @ age 24.

[violetr0se]

they don't make it like this anymore...great soul music.

[wildfrontierorleans]

these two FUCKED

[Soulmuziqable]

'I read your letters when you're not near/But they don't move me/And they don't groove me like when I hear/Your sweet voice whispering in my ear..'

Feel-good music! :-) So glad we had Marvin in the music business...ain't nothing like him!

[Bigchocolate84]

So glad we got the real thing ....baby

[tulsa4life]

wonderful

[themisshollywood16]

oh i miss youu marvin nobody can do it like you do it!<3<3<3

[iamDamitaJo]

I miss you Marvelous Marvin...nobody, and absolutely Nobody compares to you.

You are one in a Trillion and we miss you Brotha Marvin...love, Tish.

[atbarr1911]

As far as a vocalist I will have to take David Ruffin...lol

[iamDamitaJo]

Mr. Ruffin is no joke...absolutely nothing to f*** with.

The Salvation of music from that time frame thru out the seventies was so vast,

look at Otis Redding, Teddy Pendergrass rest his soul....it was just so real and raw and you just relate to different artists on different levels. Vocally, Marvin is my muse though. i just feel him, i know you can dig where im comin from.

RIP David Ruffin...one bad Brotha for sure...

[atbarr1911]

I was just messing with you..lol, Have you heard Boyz II Men Redo this song. Check them out!!!!

[iamDamitaJo]

Lol...u got jokes huh! cool, i'll check out Boys 2 Men, they recently hosted DL Hughleys Morning radio show here in NY on the eve of Thanksgiving and they still sound tough.

[DiondraLanise]

I absolutely will always LOVE this song! I miss Marvin Gaye....

[goocht]

Ain't NOTHIN like the real thing.. nobody does this song better.

[2007pdr]

im 20 yrs old and u can give me motown anyday compared to our music today...yh we get it poppin now..but sumtimes i wish i can go back in time just for a day so i can jam off songz like diz in the club

[missmaairilovemusic]

@2007pdr I'm 12 and i loooooove mowtown!! no kids like/know about It!!

[chuyleewax]

@2007 pdr rap finished with what was good music. soul music

[yassjazz]

I buy their 7'inch for my DJ play.I think this song played in big club,people dance&sing together. love from Japan.

[open7eyes]

The Motown sound is the real thing or it wouldn't still be so loved today. Those were the good old days. Great artists of yesteryears!

[redpie66]

The Great James Jamerson on bass I believe!!!!!!!!!

[zndprophet]

Marvin comes in so strong on his verse...so powerful

[gtaloverfover]

i wsh todays music wuz like this beautiful classic motown beat T_T.

[terryblueeyes]

love motown how sweet the sounds where!! and you can hear every single word. not like the rubbish to day. it will live forever not like to days music

[oluwalogbon58]

every time i hear this am ten yrs old again and am playing my daddys long playing motown records and twirling around in my block colour mini dress and knee high socks!!lol!! motown rocks!!

[46stick]

I fu*king hate today's crap excuse for music, give me Motown any day!

[gtaloverfover]

i argee with u 46stick i hate todays music aswell T_T. tumbs up :)

[tamekagreen]

@46stick and u are so rite

[hahagerm]

@46stick Agree completely.

Crap today not even worthy to be Motown B side or album filler.

I PITY THE FOOLS!!!

[legaspi89]

Maaaan. Tammi and Marvin bring Goosebumps to my body when I hear them.

You know what. Might soundy corny. But can be true. If i were battling a terrible illness in a hospital bed, I would really want to hear the Tunes of Marvin Gaye And Tammi Terrell. And i Would go into a deep imagination of healing myself especially while hearing these powerful loving voices. ((Seriously))

[tillieanne76]

They sure don't make them like this anymore,fabulous,,Tillie.x

[driftwoodviking]

There's nothing corny about what you said, legaspi89, except why use your imagination to contemplate battling a terrible illness? To be healthy, focus upon health, not sickness. And keep on listening to Marvin and Tammi if it makes you feel good! :-)

[rarabeet]

I'm having this as the song for the first dance at my wedding,it's brill!

[plumbweis]

Aint nothin like the real thing! Soooo True! They are magical together.

[ranhill]

When the vocals, lyrics, and music work together (one doesn't dominate the others), it creates a truly great song like this. People continue to listen to it some 40 years after it was recorded, and it's fresh every time.

[uktransplantedyank]

Bloody well right! They just don't produce music like this anymore. These days singers all have synthetic vocals, the instruments are synthetic, and it's all just a synthetic mess. By contrast, Marvin, Tammy, the producers and the session musicians put their REAL SELVES into this record.

[getyoursfree]

This IS the real thing. Accept no imitations.

[kjruss]

the voice of angels

[sixtiesgirl1]

brings back so many lovely memories to me. Tammi and Marvin were so great.

[TomCatanio]

When I was in the military, I found this song on a jukebox in a bar in Saigon. That was in 1974. I wonder how many brothas dropped coin on this over the years there. Talk to me!

[Oscar2098]

I was never in the military but this was a big hit when I was growing up. I feel if Tammy wasn't pressured into performing when she was sick, who knows? she could have lived a little longer.

[lorret90]

oh i never get tired of hereing this!!!

[tackertone]

This still sounds so good, thanks for the share Dave & thanks Rikochan015 for posting.

[dianamaryflorence]

Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye were a great couple when it came to singing.

[edvedder420]

Thank God someone posted the original version...gracias!

[pianokid100]

i can listen to this song 1003 times ! not anymore than that though

[debbieleigh26071990]

love it love it yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

[craigcardiffcity]

what a sad and heartbreaking family related ending of a soul legend.

[lovelypinkflower]

Both Tammi and Marvin had heartbreaking endings.

[lisasboogies]

oh my! i know ! I just looked her up and realized she died at 24 due to a brain tumor...wow!...how tragic.

[101528556]

splendid, just splendid

[Ynazzra67]

I could NEVER get tired of this song!

[mepsib]

I know, it is literally impossible to get bored when listening to this song!

[Linda77762]

[bellabinti]

[abshir99]

[sussie5]

[eggmanslim]

[zappatx]

It's all about Jamison's bass guitar...

W/o the bass no song.. Motown died with Jamison.

[ABX149]

[ebonyvogue]

♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful music

[shaaronie]

My favorite song!

[lemondrop1986]

ain't nothing like the real thing. absolutely wonderful. Just makes me feel good when i listen to it!

[OldSongsRGr8t]

What a beautiful song!! The stuff they call music nowadays don't even come close to these old grooves. I can listen to all these great classics all day long!! It's to bad that I have to go to work to earn a living.

[lisaannie1]

Soon it will be the real thing...and everything is going to be beautiful. I love you Ronnie XXXXXXX
