Marvin Gaye (Live) - Distant Lover HQ

[mbnightsearch1]

I'm HONORED to reside In Mr. Gayes' home town of Washington,DC. And I visit his ole neighborhood, and sit back in my car, and listen to My favorite songs from his works of Ar.t . Why ... I even perfected My basketball game on a Court That is NOW named MARVIN GAYE PARK. And One more Thing.... Simple City ... That's Marvin Term for his ole neighborhood. And Chocolate City ... That's George Clinton. I even lived in the City where the Mother Ship was last seen. Seat Pleasent, MD.

[kingcole55]

[TheCoolBand1]

@cjcbeaut1 Check out our channel...you might be pleasantly surprised

[jacksondarryl34]

My People, My People!! i just love being black !!

[midnightthuggz1]

this song has such a great meaning for me, I can just reminense during the time of my life when I was very much in love with a "Distant Lover." Oh Well it doesn't hurt to think on all the joy I had with this person that was not distant at that time, but we were together live and in living color. We all can say there was that someone in our life that caused our hearts to burn. And now I am an Old G.

[msembery1980]

It is hard to believe that he used to have stage fright......You would never know by listening to this great song!!

[douwd20]

One the best live recordings ever.

[tboneivd85]

1:06 is a high point in recording crowd response to a live performance. There is no way to rehearse the well deserved reaction to Marvin putting it down. You simply can't touch this.

[TheSunnyStar]

Believe me, you haven't heard fangirls screaming until you've heard this! Marvin is a G.O.A.T.

[CHEEKIEB1]

Yes Lawd!!! Come back home!!!! Tell me you don't feel that....

When Nicci (from Hillside) moved to California, I use to sing this to her EVERY DAY over the phone.....

Nicci WAS my "Distant Lover"

Girl...I'm STILL in love with you.

I think of you often.......

[simplybeautifu4]

[broozebrothers]

[original7600]

This song is coming from the inner most part of Marvins' heart! If he had put any more passion into this, all you would hear is tear drops hitting the floor.

Ive listened to this song a million times, but I would've loved to have been in the arena when he sang this song, at 1:04 the crowd went bananas , wooooow cant nobody today do that!!

[firetopman]

@1:04 every woman in the audience became fertile

[missmarvingaye]

the women are screaming because as he saying the words he's also doing a simulating grinding move that just blew our minds, yes i'm old enough to be one of those hot horny women in that audience. i met him in tennessee after he became ill i was a candy striper/not stripper. OMG!!!!!!! The man had the softest lip in the world. dam. RIP!!!! Sweet lips Marvin miss u.

[helen123650]

[mizzjuicy38]

MARVIN!!!!! PLEASE BELIEVE ME......

[jd7779311]

I did this song at a Lip Sync contest in Dallas a few years back. I had to practice, practise, practise until I finally got it down. I went out to the club going up against, Betty Wright, Al Green, and the Ojays. I was next to the last contestant and went on and KILLED IT! I had mannerisms down, gestures, everything that I thought Marvin would do while singing this song. Won it hands down. But the opening is what got them! The women doing all that screaming!! $100 1st prize! It was great!

[funkysouldancer1]

I have a lump in my throat

[lynettereid]

soooooooooooooooo many miles away!! i knoe u are waittin some where!! in the furture!! i havent met u yet!! but i will i feel it! foreal~~~~~~~~~~~~

[madmex1000]

Anyone who has lived this song, such as I, are stopped dead in his tracks as soon as soon as he hears the first beat of this song. The pain never realy goes away. The hurt only gets easier to hide.

[rdsrk]

@madmex1000 You are soooooo Right the Pain Never Goes Away !! But as sooon as u here this Great Song it Brings it alll back & more !!!! it takes u back to that moment in time !!!! U cant think about any thing just all of those fellings , it comes washing over U !! Like A Tidal Wave !!!! U Start thinking about that person & wondering what they r doing & wondering if whenever they here this song if it does the same thing to them !!!!! I hope it does take them to same place & Time !!!!!

[jeannot01]

@madmex1000 Amen!

[coolymac]

LOL everytime i hear the chick screaming. her cuming on herself is a part of music history. she's gets more spins on radio stations than today's singers - LMAO!

But on the real, this song is timeless! Well-written tune by Marvin that is the anthem of every long-distance relationship! R.I.P. Brother Marvin!!

[jeannot01]

@coolymac It isn't long distance. It's when you realize you're growing apart and you can't do anything to stop it.:(

[coolymac]

@jeannot01 sorry 2 hear. i hope you and your distant lover hook up real soon. in the meantime, keep listening 2 marvin.

[ltbrownhue]

Grown folk music 4reallllllllllllllllllllllllll­l.DAMN!

[everton28ish]

[89plainsman]

I wonder how many pairs of panties he had to wade through when his set was over...

[XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX]

NO ONE DOES IT LIKE MARVIN...SO SMOOTH....AHHHH....JUST KICK BACK AND LISTEN...DRINKING A BEER....

[thewusyndicate]

[coolymac]

@gshunw the LP is good, don't get it twisted. but I feel ya - the live version just hits the spot EVERY time!

[poopypants814]

to my distant lover in japan ,hope your safe , darling be home soon!

[holguineddie]

THIS SONG FUCKS ME UPPP! NOBODY CAN DO THAT TODAY!!! NOR WILL EVER LIKE MARVIN!!

[brutal690]

@holguineddie Marvin was my favorite male artist and R kelly comes da close to doing i tlike Marvin I love them both

[jd7779311]

@brutal690 Marvin never pissed on little girls!!! I used to like Kelly too until I actually saw the videos he made. I couldnt believe that shit when I saw it. One of the reasons his wife left his ass. Brotha got skills with music, but got serious mind issues!

[MsLinda451]

Listening to all those screaming women in one room, had to be nothing but pure heart and soul from the Great Marvin Gaye; he knew what it took to get all those women screaming. I wasn't old enough back then to have been there, but I wish I was.....WOW!

[MsLinda451]

All of those screaming women in one room had to be nothing but more than pure heart and soul coming for no other than the Great Marvin Gaye....

[Talon805]

one of the greatest...if not THE greatest songs of all time! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

[ladykay361]

[buscape54]

[newjeruz08]

This was one smooth brotha, youngsters & elders take note!! Rip God bless!!!

[xeddiexR8]

I have to say, this man never seizes to amaze me! He puts so much soul into his music that is too much for some people to handle. Marvin will forever be a Legend.

[neworleanspsychic]

truly, madly, deeply...

[schulproperty70k]

[arson09]

[EmergencyBrown]

Where can I get THIS version of Distant Lover (Live)?

[copeland20]

@EmergencyBrown Hey, I just recently went to Best Buy and bought a new Marvin Gaye "HITS" cd and it includes this version of the song. It's called "Icon" I believe, it came out in 2010 and was only like 6.99.

[88ritchie]

@copeland20

That's so ironic i just went to Best Buy and bought What's Going On, damn great minds think alike lol

[mwhite36]

@EmergencyBrown One place is Amazon, search for "Distant lover (Live)".

[whitesongs73]

Damm this brotha ws smooth.

[SROpriest]

[iblobar]

[Blueskywatcher]

@SROpriest This definitely gives me chills. *handful

[guevara7E]

@SROpriest same with me. LONG LIVE THE GREAT MARVIN GAYE!!!... who ever disliked this has never been in love and i feel sorry for them cuz its better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all.

[lovetoo100]

simply beautiful....

[PepiThe411]

This really takes a brother back. I now am a local performer and was recently asked about the great Marvin Gaye and his songs. I quickly rekindled former memories, and refreshing myself with his history (his-story) was reminded of his life journey. And, what a fantastic journey it was! He did so much for those of us following in his footsteps. Thanks Marvin for sharing you with us. Peace be with you always.

[buddyluve72]

- A master piece from the god father of soul.

- RIP Marvin.

[djvlive]

[ab40]

@djvlive I think it's on a best off album. That's where I got it from. That was one of the best buys ever braught solace and peace to a trouble man like myself. Good luck searching the song is amazing.
