First Time Hearing - I Want You by Marvin Gaye 

Being from Detroit ,we claimed this voice as ours ,so you can imagine the devastation we felt when his own Father shot him. Just absolutely gutted.

All background vocal harmonies done by Gaye himself - multi-layers aplenty.

Bro, it’s the lyrics in this song, “Don’t play with something you should cherish for life.” 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

My favorite song of all time. The voice dripping with emotion. The overlapping vocal tracks give it a haunting feeling. Just no words.

Music made in Heaven. Only Marvin Gaye reaches this level of sublime.

This is my absolute favorite Marvin Gaye song of all time! This whole album is SUBLIME

This whole album is straight fire!!!! Marvin is my favorite male singer of all time. I'm 55 and I grew up listening to this. This video is 6 months old so you may have already been told about the album, but if not check out come live with me angel, soon i'll be loving you, since I had you. Thank me later!!

Absolutely the best production and vocal arrangement of all time...it is the perfect foreplay song that produced a lot of babies back in my day lol...

Interesting that you said that one sound sounded like a bird flying. Marvin would study the sounds of nature and try to incorporate them into his music. His textures are unreal. All the amazing musicians made it happen and helped shape his sound but it was his words and visions…genius

A pure Soul Classic.

The music of our time genius bring it back yessssssirrrrrr 60,s,70,s,80,s its the music that moving you still listening radio 2023

Now you’ve gotta react to “After the Dance” from the same album. That track is a masterpiece as well.

My favorite Marvin Gay song!

I wish there was some reactor somewhere that knew the difference between bongos and congas. These are, of course, congas. "Sexual Healing", "Let's Get It On", and "Distant Lover" next please.

My absolute favorite Marvin song 😌😌 so glad you reacted!

You can't imagine being on a dance floor with a girl you just met and this song came on. Marvin was pure street music.

I love his song makes me wanna holler the way they do my life.. inner city blues

This is my number one favorite song. Because I play this song everyday on RU-vid is the reason the algorithms found you.

Oh my gosh yes! This was absolutely baby making music! Women melted when Marvin Gaye sang...he was just so dang smooth! Listen to "Let's Get it On", or to "Sexual Healing" for more. His death was so tragic.

When I hear this song I always picture him dancing with a woman and he's holding her close singing this in her ear. By the end she has completely melted, her knees are weak and he has to hold her up or she would fall to the floor. Yep. That's Marvin.

Sublime Marvin Gaye- great reaction from you 💕✨

As always, an excellent reaction. I highly recommend "Let's Get It On" Thank you for providing us with stellar entertainment.

Just found your channel and this man was a killer on stage and loved all of his music. I miss Marvin Gaye so much, he sung from the heart and was a performer on the stage, his music (sexy) was the type of music he made and still sounds good in 2024. Thanks for playing this song.

I am a big Gaye fan. Lived with what’s going on for many years. Eventually I got this album, here my dear and his other original albums and they are at times just as good as what’s going on. An amazing artist who died far too young at the hands of drugs and a deranged father, who chose to shoot and kill Marvin in 84.

Excellent observations. Thank you. I love watching reactions to Marvin Gaye. It always brings a smile to the listener. That's the beauty and sublimity and spirituality working on you.

Lovely, beautiful.

Another great reaction Syed, another artist that was on this same level was Barry White. His deep voice was out of this world!

Marvin 🎉🐐

We will claim any piece of Marvin

That's baby making music

Great reaction. Good take on the subtle, unsubtle sexiness.

Yes boys and girls listen to the Prince of Motown! He lives forever.

Love the Artist ,Song

🔥🔥🔥great reaction and phenomenal 🎨 artist

clearly this is MASTERPIECE

I love to see you enjoying and critique this song

man right on you got it.

The music and Lyrics were written by Leon Ware...Look him up...Legend

Now try I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles.

Tha cut!

WOW. 🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖🌖

You’re right about the lack of perversion. A guy I used to listen to named Blowfly who I used to listen to for kicks and bought albums of was totally perverted, just like lil Wayne. That those kind of lyrics would become mainstream was unheard of in the 90s when I started buying blowfly albums. A true original in his own perverted way.

Sexual Healing, Got to Give it Up, Heard it Through the Grapevine are other great ones.

Hope you didn't miss that lead guitar in the background!

Good stuff. Based on the things you were saying, it just dawned on me, that's a whole other world to explore. It made me really think you might like Al Green from his Gets Next to You album. Came out maybe three or four years before this Marvin Gay song. It's got some hard driving funk and some soul stuff and it's beautiful; every song is fire. Oh and they also do a cover of The Doors, Light My Fire and the way he reinterprets it is just genius. But anyway, the song, Are you lonely for me baby? is a great blend of all of those elements from that album. It's right here: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eLLi5q2MB9s.html

You should listen to Michael McDonald version. He did a good job

👍

Great really enjoyed this reaction. You must try out a little of his conte.porary Stevie Wonder. Maybe the sampled Village Ghetto Land. I immediately recognised it when it was excerpted . . I

If this is baby making music, listen to Marvin’s “Sure Like to Ball.”

Marvin Gaye... sigh...

Nice. Check out Sexual Healing and Heard It Through the Grapevine (a lot of people prefer Creedence's version but to me no-one touches Marvin's)

Apropos the title😁 I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles would knock you out as well. The birth of doom metal 🤟

Baby Making Music 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did you know this song was written by Diana Ross's younger brother

When you are ready to "Marvin Gaye and get it on", again, check out Sexual Healing from Marvin. But NOT the video. It's cheesy cheesy.

Perhaps Sexual Healing next time

How did the 'very socially conscious' rate for you on this one? Gorgeous and seductive (in every sense) isn't it?

Marvin was a good songwriter but he didn’t write this one. Leon Ware and Arthur Ross wrote it.

Hip Hop copied R&B music in many of their songs.

As a born, and raised New Yorker, bongos, a.k.a. congas as we call them here in New York, his sound was urban before urban was a thing

L.T.D. - Love Ballad ...
