John....thanks for letting me know of how this touched you.

+mosogotam My friend, you have an amazing talent for rhythm, and extending a awesome song only to make it better!!!!!! I love Marvin Gaye. I love Tammy Terrell. When you put them together, it becomes magical with a feeling I can't describe. He had his demons and a super voice that was angelic. I can hear the love in their voice as they sing together. I feel, that both of them passed away way to soon. I won't pretend to be an expert on them. I greatly appreciate your time. Many fond memories, thank you from my heart and my cleansed soul!!!! Take care and be safe!!!!!

+Artim Dutton ....Artim....thanks so much!!!

If my mother was alive right now, she would be really thrilled, that woman will have no problem playing them records to death, like she did like the rest if the records, scratch'em and skip them and all. Lol! Gosh I love my mother.

She had good taste mate, god bless, Andy, Nottingham.

Thank you, George. Found it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMBpisd02tTaqWw.html

It was amazing how he sang the national anthem with a jazz/sexy sound. One of the best

The astronauts were thinking about their babies on the moon 🌝

And me being in Vietnam with the U.S. Army, thinking about this song and everything good back home waiting for me.

Thanks, Nancy....glad you like them!!

I agree ! Motown forever with love!

Gotcha girl motown FOREVER

They were all black. Funny all my friends of all colors always said to me Slater your just not right. You see I loved everyone. I didn't look at their color. I was born in the 50s. Anyone that knows that period of time knows that didn't happen to often. I think I loved music so much and didn't listen to what others thought and I loved God at a very young age. So I may not be right but I was loved and liked by every race and had friends from them all. You don't know what you missed. Sadly many of them are with my Lord. I miss all of you.

I grew up in the country. I always loved this music. I didn't know

@@douglasslater5192 I know what you mean.The skin pigmentation was never anything I cared for not too say I am clour blind when it comes to that. I went to a boarding school with god know how many boys from all parts of our planet. It did not matter a shit what god they chose to believe in or not, what colour their skin had and we all got along great. Yes there were some guys one did not like but that never have anything to do with what I mentioned. Black,white pink, brown,yellow who the fuck cares. There is only one race on this planet of ours and that's US.

I concur 100%

Micheal Jackson? Freddie mercury? Sam Cooke? David Ruffin? Ron Isley?

My good friend Mr. Sam Cooke was liquid gold! His voice was superb. And so was my man Elvis Presley.

Nat King Cole Al Green Solomon Burke

Sinatra🥱🥱

His voice is so sweet 😋. You listen you feel instant Better.

Great song but there were so many at that time. I think stubborn kinda fella is right up there with this tune.

@@jackpalance9509 I've not heard of that one myself. I could real off five or six of his songs that I just think are outstanding, for one reason or another, but it's Marvin's voice above all. He's got to be in my favourite top five, probably top three vocalists of all time, male and female. I know this might sound a bit weird but it's kind of like a cello, the range of emotions and purity of that sound is immense.

@Nigel johnson 🎶 I'm just a stubborn kind fella got mind made up on you Say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya 🎶 To caveat on the duets Tammi Terrell was his best partner IMHO.

@@jackpalance9509 Ok, right. Really sorry but I still don't know that song, even with your lovely singing of it. I was thinking after we spoke yesterday, that I would probably, actually find it nearly impossible to work out a top three or even a top five favourite singers. So it was probably unfair of me to say that. Even the number one spot, I'm sure that I'd have at least four or more choices. And then there are all the different genres and styles to take in to account. Rock, Opera, Pop, Blues, Soul, Country. I don't think I could do it or at least I would have to spend weeks agonising over my decisions, and then regret every one. By the way is your name really, Jack Palance?

@Nigel johnson No sir my first name is Robert. I've been using that handle for about 4 years. You are probably an older gentleman or movie buff? In that genre you had: Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson, David Ruffin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, just to name a few males. The women: Diana Ross, Carla Thomas,Mavis Staples,Martha Reeves...Tough! Believe it or not I'm just alittle over 40. Folks always told me since a young boy I had an "old soul". Compliment to me. Good day brother.

Such a legend, soul coming straight from his heart.❤

One of the greatest bands ever!

@@Blueberry905 They "Backed" an Era!

Amen.. and Amen. 🙌🏾

WTF is 'Mowtown' - wanker.

YEAH!!!!! It's MOTOWN!!!!!!!!

michele fellows w

gmeles yeah! The Funk Brothers made more number one hits than anybody in the world. The band that made the music

It’s like Phil Spector he used Darlene Love and the Blossoms. Darlene Love was the background of the TV Show Shindig. Phils wife Ronnie of the Ronnetts was apart of what he created The Wall of Sound. He was smart enough to use Tina Turner on one of his biggest hits. Proud Mary listen to the background all the instruments.

I was 8 going on 9 that summer, hauling my middle brother back and forth to Summer School! 😊

The problem was the 3 minute rule. Records had a time limit and if you were black only one label play per radio show. Hence Uk is Tsmla Motown. In the states they had Gordy. Tamla. Motown etc labels to get more air plays. .

I totally full whole heartily agree!!

A way to carry a song!...lol

Thanks so much, Kevin!!

RISQUE1963 Yeah Marvin Gaye was Sam Cooke 2.0 It took me yea RS to realize

Marvin Gaye can most easily be identified with Sam Cooke, but a lot of artists benefited directly from Mr. Cooke's trailblazing ways into gaining more control/leverage within the industry itself. An enormous talent, with business acumen. His next to last stop was Martoni's down in Hollywood. That's gone, too, nothing remains but spirit, and God's amazing Grace.

im still in love with him his birthjday is April 2 i shall wear my shirt

Thanks so much, Denise!!

+eddie d ...Eddie...thanks...much appreciated!

Its truly a rewarding journey how you deconstruct and resurrect these tunes,so we can fully digest them.!

RIP John
