This song is such a MASTERPIECE of a simple lyric and a amazing melody! Her voice is beautifully sweet and the strings complemented it all. Thank you Ashford and Simpson!
Nicely done! Hattie, you have a gorgeous voice, esp in the lower register. Btw, it was Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell who originally performed this as a duet. Aretha recorded a solo version.
Yes, and not only that, but Marvin Gaye was also the composer. I think its clear he was thinking of Tammi, as he wrote it when she was already quite ill. Even though he was married at the time and never romantically associated with Tammi, we can clearly see their love dor each other, even if platonically.
@@bman342a ah yes you’re right about A&S writing it. I was thinking of the other ballad they sang together - If This World Were Mine that Marvin wrote as a tribute to Tammi
I think it's perfect as is. Minimalist but soulful, relaxed but passionate and groovy. The song is AB form with an intro/outro...which is the bridge to you?
insanely stunning... this woman needs a CONTRACT! OMG. Incredible rendition. Amazing vocal dynamics.
I like that this is unique enough that I don't want to compare it to the original. That's the name of the game that a lot of artists miss. 🎯
Why doesn't this have millions of views? You have one of the most impressive and versatile voices I've ever heard...genuinely confused.
I agree with you 100%, but most of the world doesn't appreciate subtle, tasteful music like this.
I was wondering the same.
The song loses its soul with this rhythm, the "drive" is missing, the power....listen: ruclips.net/video/YCQ-KegrM_M/видео.html

@@leoray1234 It was actually written by Ashford & Simpson. And yes, Gaye was devastated by Terrell's death.

Or Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrel
Hattie Whitehead?
As perfect as this was, I have to say, ya'll missed a great chance to harmonize during the bridge! But amazing regardless!

Sorry, but this song belongs to Marvin and Tammi. NO ONE does that song better than them.
Some movie ripped off this version..........
This is horrible.
You got that right.
She’s got no soul.
She sounds great
