who used to teach the side women how to dance, every old song these women have the most terrible coreography, just big goofy outlandish dance steps that are just confusing, whoever was the choreographer everyone hired at the time was just terrible

It is like in one of the charismatic churches here, even the way they dance ( slain in the spirit maybe! ). Is it why most pastors in these churches when they preach they say "CAN I GET A WITNESS?" Now seriously, this song does remind me of my parents.
I have a question. I am not a vocalist so I want to ask someone who actually sings, how hard was it for Marvin to sing they lyric "home" like he did at the .10 second mark of this song? I noticed in some of the other live performances that he did of the same song he didnt sing the lyric that way. Was it a spontaneous thing? Was it difficult?
this is the display how Blacks was not welcome to see Black performers. And Blacks had to get exposed which ever way they can. This is why we have a lot of films. Black artists, wanted themselves recorded by major shows, to prove evidence of their Talent is the middle of Racist America.
@mrammaji HOW IS IT TOO LATE WHEN WE ARE LOOking at the evidence Dummy. I am explaining to those what evidence is in the images. we are looking at in 2010.
Thank you! Bravo, bravo! Encore, Encore! Marvin is fantastic, one of the best. The world is less of a place without him. I was in 1st grade in 65. I remember the go-go boots and thought the dancing that was so cool. The dancing is so silly now. Not one black chick is dancing, what's up with that? Maybe it's just that a black woman would not want to be seen with people dancing like that, lol. I still can't dance, but Marvin makes me feel like I can!
This song performed by Marvin Gaye here was released as Motown's Tamla 54087 in September of 1963 and written by the team of Holland-Dozier-Holland and also featured on the Singing Machine's "Motown Original Artist Karaoke" made for karaoke by that company!
I don't know who these idiots are, but let me tell it like it was: I'm a Nice Italian boy, & when this song came on, we tore the floor up--the Italians & the Mexicans used to see just who could do it better--at my school! Take it to Church, Bro. Marvin!!! Wolfsky9
Marvin is wonderful here. John Lennon named this song as one of his favorites. But what is up with those dancers? Wow! They dance like 7 year olds at a slumber party.
@zenithwalrus Obviously you aren't that old. This was big time dancing. There were shows like Hullabaloo, Shindig, Soul Train, American Bandstand.....and then there was the Midnight Special, not a dance show but great just the same.
@Glamrma Didn't we have a ball...We didn't ever think in our wildest dreams that we would see an assination of music...Thank God for UTube because many of us threw these 45's around like they were't priceless.
Its a nice thing to listen the original Marvin Gaye singing Can I get a Witness, I am not English born speaker, my first language is spanish, but i enjoy a lot tha particular song and I believe actually that the motown sound from Marvin to M jackson defined the music today in the world, thanks nessam for upload that beatiful song
I know, I didnt' even realise he had been out that long. I love his voice. I didn't even know he made this song. So you uploaded this! Do you have a collection stashed away somewhere? LOL people are gonna be lovin this when they find this video.
@MercedesSantiaga This song , sung by Marvin Gaye, was released in September 1963(on Motown's Tamla Records label)as Tamla 54087 and is also featured on the Singing Machine's "Motown Master Recordings-Original Artist Karaoke" karaoke CD.
