Marvin Gaye - His eye is on the sparrow ( ALTERNATE VERSION

Marvin Gaye - his eye is on the sparrow ( alternate version ) from the 1988 lp ' marvin gaye a musical testament' . this is a different take from the far superior version from 'in memory of' but still a great take . this take also has overdubs added in the 80's by ed townsend and new background vocals by theola kilgore. enjoy

Most people don't like this version as much as the other one, but I actually like this one MUCH better! Maybe it's because I heard and fell in love with this version first.

When Marvin hits that note at 2:49 and pleads & damn near cries at 3:12, it seems way more heartfelt then that other version...but that's just me.

to Kiasky1: are you sure you don't hope Marvin Gaye's in hell? How would it look if you end up in hell after throwing dirt on his grave? a bit self-righteous, don't you think? There will be surprises. Some who people put in hell actually be in heaven. On the other hand, some who are so sure of heaven will be in hell.

@kiasky1 no, i think marvin and his dad are the ignorant fools. now both dead. this fool is still alive.

what does it prophet a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul? really? gaye was raised a pentecostal. but i guess the satan and hollywood offered better. had he been saved when his dad popped him, he'd be present with the lord. and im the fool.......yeah.

[kiasky1]

@721rem You are an ignorant fool.

Marvin Gaye the musical genus, may he R.I.P.

[721rem]

too bad he wasnt saved when he got popped by his dada!

It makes me so sad..... todays music is crap.... if this was on the radio, this kind of music daily..... there would be no more wars, no more violence.... all people living as one and in peace......
