The epitome of cool soul ! Marvin is too cool to sweat .The true crown prince of Motown ! R.I.P marvelous one .

I remember hearing this song for the first time when it was introduced in 1963. The joy, the swing, the rhythm, the sound of Marvin's voice--blew me away.

Quintessential Motown Sound by The Main Man Himself. This song sounds as fresh today as it did some 50 years ago. Fantastic talent, fantastic song.

I'm old enough to remember this first time round................yea, I'm still breathing, just.

Sheer Motown genius....from the hip cool lyrics to the unbelievably cool sounds of the band backing a gospel kind of delivery by Mr. Soul himself.

Always loved this song. Love hearing Florence Ballard prominent in the background, very soulful.

the girl dancers in the background are insane!

The Funk Brothers were well....just perfect.

Marvelous voice. A great singer Marvin. Thanks !

Go marvin~ Rockin that head. This is real old school.

Yep, I have a collection! LOL, just uploaded this cause only certain hits are played all the time, and I wanted something different out there.

Love that song!....thanks for the memories!

Motown rules!

This is a dangerously good record.

easily the best clip on youtube as its been since it was first posted-

outstanding dance tune .epitomizes r&b at it's greatest, absolutley love this song.tore up many a dance floor expressing ourselves in gratitude to marvin in his music..thanks for sharing.

Love this song. Love Marvin Gaye. gone too soon.

Excellent video of the mighty Marvin Gaye. (All go- go dancers then, danced that way and were hired to do it that certain way.)

Its a nice thing to listen the original Marvin Gaye singing Can I get a Witness, I am not English born speaker, my first language is spanish, but i enjoy a lot tha particular song and I believe actually that the motown sound from Marvin to M jackson defined the music today in the world, thanks nessam for upload that beatiful song

GERALD'S GAME!

Someone said ...PERFECTION ?

@Glamrma Didn't we have a ball...We didn't ever think in our wildest dreams that we would see an assination of music...Thank God for UTube because many of us threw these 45's around like they were't priceless.

LOL, I really do! Ever since I was a young child, even listening to my parents music. Thanks, I don't feel so odd for loving it so much! I'm sure that I do, I just haven't figured out what to post yet?

Hahaha, Thanks Everybody!

As I said, this tune was released in September 1963 on Motown's Tamla Records label as Tamla 54087

LOL, yeah he's gettin' it in! And it is real old school.

Thanks for sharing. One of my favs.

simply kick ass

Pure.

@rossmethven2 Right you are!!! This is Motown at its very finest from one of its very best. Talent and fun....with a super cool sound. Wow!!!

legend!

This is awesome. I've only just heard of this song through the Elton John cover, and it's probably the only other Marvin Gaye song I've ever heard beside Heard it Through the Grape Vine. Good Stuff!

The dancer just to his right is fiendin' for him bad.

Those are the Supremes singing background on this song.

really nice video,,, ive never seen before ,,,,thanks,,,, wtf on the 4 thumbs down????

I love you TOO Nessam ; Kind greetings from France !

We should be thanking you!

YES!!!!!!!!

this is the best song he ever dun thank u for up loading it x

if only chicks would still dance like this in today's times, wouldn't it be fabulous..

i told a sweet girl who is studying voice at Berklee Colleg of Music (working in a candy store!) to look this up for a masterclass in vocals so brilliant that she should transcribe these vocals onto a sheet of music..and he just hits a handful of notes but how and when and for how long......how many different ways can you say the word witness?? just amazing swing & Louis Armstronglike ability with his instrument.

Class....

Thanks Everybody! :-)

@zenithwalrus If seven years danced like this, they're possessed.

People that have made these comments must be so young. Everybody knows about the Marvelous Marvin Gaye. Where u been under a rock.

@MercedesSantiaga He did! In September Of 1963!

those girls on the stage gettin RATCHET, man...

Awesome voice sexy!

We shall seek and destroy those who don't like this. LOL

Great song, thanks, nessam. I think one of the blonde dancers behind Marvin is Teri Garr.

@Rob Muszynski I think Dancer #4 is Teri Garr. Kind of hard to tell cuz we never get a clear look at her face.

@williamjclinton1 I agree! Thanks for the visit :)

I know, I didnt' even realise he had been out that long. I love his voice. I didn't even know he made this song. So you uploaded this! Do you have a collection stashed away somewhere? LOL people are gonna be lovin this when they find this video.

@Msemospongebob This is from 1963

Marvin is wonderful here. John Lennon named this song as one of his favorites. But what is up with those dancers? Wow! They dance like 7 year olds at a slumber party.

@Msemospongebob Aww, Thanks! lol

@Msemospongebob :-D Thanks, Love Ya too!

Lol, thanks! I'll try ?

I don't know who these idiots are, but let me tell it like it was: I'm a Nice Italian boy, & when this song came on, we tore the floor up--the Italians & the Mexicans used to see just who could do it better--at my school! Take it to Church, Bro. Marvin!!! Wolfsky9

Gerald's Game, anybody? ;)

@zenithwalrus Obviously you aren't that old. This was big time dancing. There were shows like Hullabaloo, Shindig, Soul Train, American Bandstand.....and then there was the Midnight Special, not a dance show but great just the same.

I have a question. I am not a vocalist so I want to ask someone who actually sings, how hard was it for Marvin to sing they lyric "home" like he did at the .10 second mark of this song? I noticed in some of the other live performances that he did of the same song he didnt sing the lyric that way. Was it a spontaneous thing? Was it difficult?

I loves me some Marvin Gaye - but the dancers "where the beat".

I sorta think the charlie brown kids are getting down in their own little way.

I whip my hair back in forth I whip my hair back in forth *mocking the girls voice in my manly voice. They started that way back(as you can see in this video), Willow smith did'int start that...

who Dat on that paino??

anyone notice the lardassed go go girl on the right?

@zenithwalrus LMFAO

@thincow12 hahahahahah

@nessam72 @mMsemospongebob get a room...........lol joking!

@thincow12 This doesn't even deserve as response. Just a thumbsdown folks.

That could be Obama singing back in 1965?
