Wow!

BOBBIN TO THIS.... TIMELESS

@DustySoulLtd Fair point. I guess those songs could be termed "booty shaking party music". I stand corrected.
-
@DustySoulLtd Ok after I finished preparing my oldies set for tonight I had to log in log in again to include Take This Heart of Mine, Wonderful One, Ain't That Peculiar, I'll Be Doggone, Too Busy Thinkin Bout My Baby and Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Actually when you think through Marvin's discography, especially his work from the 60's there were more dance songs than ballads, particularly released as singles.

@bolder2009 Thats not quite true. Marvin did aspire to be a jazz crooner like Nat King Cole, however he did record his fair share of party music albeit reluctantly: Hitch Hike, If I Could Build My Whole World Around You, Stubborn Kind Of Fellow, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Some Kind Of Wonderful...Need I continue? Booty shaking didn't start in the 70's darling, nor did Marvin's booty shaking music start with Got To Give It Up.

@DustySoulLtd Marvin wasn't a "booty shaking and party music" type of artist. The year before this he released the only single in his recording career up to that point that could fit that description, which was 'Got To Give It Up' in 1977. And he was initially reluctant about releasing it, but Motown wanted him to hop on to the Disco bandwagon, so he obliged with a dance floor classic which was closer to Funk than Disco, which he wasn't too keen on, with few exceptions like JT's 'Disco Lady'.

Marvin had a musical weakness - he just didn't know how to make a crap album!
"After agreeing to the deal, the singer went into his recording studio in an effort to give Motown a "lazy, bad" album starting sessions in the spring of 1976. However, as Marvin set on making the "lazy" album, the singer's deep emotions and bittersweet feelings for his soon-to-be former wife took over the music."
What an exceptional artiste!

I was 16 when this album was first released and hated it because I had become accustomed to Marvin's booty shaking and party music. Now as an adult who appreciates "Grown Folks Music" I regard this as one of his best works, only second to "What's Going On". THANK GOD FOR MATURITY!

No offense to this version of the song, but the extended cut on the 2008 reissue just completely blows it away: /watch?v=I6aXP4FYuIw (put youtube.com first)
