..It was the great musical genious Bobby Scott, who did this arrangement for Marvin....both ..Marvin and Bobby..***** Danny Barrett.

@sumaarc46 Sure was Bobby Scott.

This is Marvins last recording ever. This version was the last of three versions of the same song and the only one Gaye was allowed vocal freedom. He also played piano on this version which is by far the most inspired. This final album was recorded in Vienna with the help of a classical composer and while the album was all but forgotten this version of this song serves as a goodbye to the most loyal of his fans.

@donkeyshae Actually this was recorded in Los Angeles in 1978 prior to the release of "Here, My Dear". After the album didn't do so well, Marvin left the U.S. His final recording sessions were in 1983 in L.A.

Im 18 years old. Marvin's music has helped me so much in my young life, and hearing his voice in this beautiful song brings tears to my eyes.

I used to play the original version every night while I mourned my break up. Now that I've moved on, I just so happen to stumble upon this version right now. Marvin always has a way of channeling how I feel through music, and his timing is just incredibly yet joyfully ironic.
