I heard Lamont Dozier state that Marvin was late to the session for this song and had not even listened to the demo that they had sent over to him. According to Lamont, Marvin had to be picked up at a local golf course and brought to the Motown studio where he blew these vocals in 1 take! Marvin was a beast!
Divided soul. Rare ability to be accessible and commercially viable while maintaining personal authenticity and collective dignity. Proves that being a man is not about knuckle scraping and crush/kill/destroy. Credit to the race...THE HUMAN RACE. At his best he represents the fusion of the Freudian id, ego, and super ego. One of our prophets, yet a fallen human. This is why we love this man. The heir apparent to Sam Cooke. Can you we pay higher tribute?
i promise to not be informal or coloquial.Futhermore i also promise not to engage in hyperbole or be flippant in any way. May i add that at no time will i be trucculant or bosiferous. LOL
If you go back to the very beginning of when you had Doowap in the 50's then came Soul in the 60's ,R& B in the 70's older artist were not knocking the newer artist because they constantly improved the sound, and got better as time went by, then came RAP! Killed all the potential singers,they thought singing was not cool so the new voices forgot how to sing and R&B lost it's Voice. the missing element~ CHURCH~ the Soul deprived generation has no clue of what Soul sounds like, so they rap!
@tedkay ,actually all of it is R&B and Soul,I wouldnt say the sound improved or got better,it was different.The music from the 60's is R&B and the music from the 70's is soul as well,its all the same. I agree with everything else.
you wrote "without music" :-D THIS is music!! And none of the shit people produce today with more background music than natural voices.. so please write simply "a capella" and NOT "without music" :-D
@ihavekankles fuck you. fuckin dumbass hypocrite the video is in your fuckin favorites you dumbass cocksuckin cum guzzler. eat a dick bitch i like mainstream music asshole. nah fuck you troll imma block ur bitch ass id like to see say shit like this too my face.
and internet arguing=wack. lame ass.fuckin loser, get off the computer and get some ass fuckin faggot. *blocked*
i never said i didnt like it, i love thjis song. but no need to be a huge dickhead and bemoan the current state of music. its fucking cliche and pathetic
@ihavekankles ,you crazy,if you think this is shit, you must have shit between your ears. That classical music is wack compared to this. Why the hell you on this page if classical is all of that?
Classical music has stood the test of time, it has been around for hundreds of years and yet it is still immensely popular. Classical music is the precursor to all modern music and since you people love to work in a time scale in terms of musical talent (dat old stuf is bettar) then it follows that Classical music is better than this. Right?
No shit it's my opinion you retard! But what I'm saying is that Classical music has not only stood the test of time but is largely critically acclaimed and is immensely popular. By this logic it seems that Classical music is better than this.
@ihavekankles Well, it's stood the test of time because...well....it's hundreds of years old. Motown/pop music is like what 50+ years old. Give this song a few centuries, i'm sure it'll still be popular as well.
@tuzwol - You are both wrong....classical music frankly usually does NOT include any actual vocalists, hence these two can't be compared! I personally love both genres...however, I find such arguing VERY boorish & uncultured!
@wilderm88 ,no I'm right,I'm always right. What are you, the peacemaker,go wash some dishes. WHat do you do,surf the web to play peacemaker,so you should know all about uncultured and being boorish right,you know from experience
His voice is absolutely beautiful. I don't know if there's a single person living right now that can sing as clear and perfect as this without being computerized. It's ridiculous how low the standards of talent have gone. People care about nothing in this era but pretty faces and dirty lyrics. It's embarrassing and depressing. I would do anything to go back in time to the Motown days, because music like this, REAL music, is long gone.
great song, I hurd it for the first time in American Pie and I thought it was a really great song and now I`ve heard the original song and I think thats a good version too. ^.^ = )
@Bigbill900 Imagine instead of replacing Miley Cyrus with Ella Fitzgerald, or replacing the Black Eyed Peas with Louis Armstrong...think about how our culture would be influenced - musically, but by better role models! Man, I wished I lived in the 1930's.
