I've seen Ben Harper perform this song as an encore on numerous occasions in Australia. From the beginning of the song to the end, a tent holding thousands of people, were experiencing the most wonderful whole feeling. The whole place was floating and that's how we all left it. Ananda
This is why I love Ben Harper. He is so creative and brilliant that he could make a classic song by an amazing talent like Marvin Gaye sound like his own. This is beautiful.
No human can ever compare to Marvin Gaye. How God could give one person such talent then take it all away. That said. Ben Harper is a great artist. This is a hard song to cover. And he makes it his own. I love his playing solo or with the band and that great hammond player he has.
This is amazing...Sexual healing is one of the most beautiful, soulful songs ever made, I would usually be against the 'ruining' of such a great song....but Ben Harper did really well
spread the word, Ben is a warrior for positive change, the world is changing boys and girls! We are the generation of transmutation, brave the storm and we shall bask in sunshine. one love!
The suffering you feel is intentional. In the song, he is suffering and can only be healed by his woman's love(sex). Ben Harper really feels his music when he plays it
marvin remains inimitable on "sexual healing"..but i do admitt that harper had increased the difficulty by singing it and playing it on guitar ! absolutely fantastic !
c'mon, of course theres only one marvin gaye, but that still leaves room for covers, and harper does something fresh with this. this oozes soul. I reckon its beautiful
Marvin is classic. Nevertheless, Ben is awesome in his own right. These two artist do a great job of displaying passion in their singing even though they sing different genres. There is a deep passion in music among black folks. No disrespect need be given to either artist.
thats why the song live your life from ti makes you feel so fine ;) it s on the same patern :)) it s good for me , thats how you make hits KEEP IT A SECRET
Mi querido Ben.... qué habilidad tienes con la guitarra. ¡Qué voz! Estoy de acuerdo que esta canción le pertenece al maestro Marvin Gaye, sin embargo haces magia con esta canción.
yeh ben brings his own soul to this classic but marvin live gave me shivers. Theres something about the raw feeling behind marvins voice thats unmatched. Ben however still rules....just not as much as marvin... much love to both artists.
@reevolution137 thats just the sign of a good artist..one who makes it sound like every song they sing is being sung for you..no homo here just good vibes and a good cover :)
i reckon only few out of a thousand can take on a song that is sang by Mr MARVIN GAYE or Mr AL GREEN and give it justice. AND this brotha right here is one of those people
I'm not disputing that Mr. Harper has a nice voice but why did I feel like I was suffering through this song? You know if something works don't fix it.
i think most people would agree. how good of a musician do you have to be to recreate a classic and make it better than the original? is that blasphemy? no offense Mr. Gaye
