It was the very last note. The way Marvin expressed it...it sounded like a wounded spirit doing a death moan. Superbly emotional!!! I've made that sound...that is a "man cry."
His voice is “haunting”. I think that’s one way you can describe his voice… His vocal range is unparalleled as a male vocalist in my opinion… Maybe Maxwell compares favorably in that way… I can’t think of many more artists though. Absolutely, uniquely talented
This song made me a Marvin Gaye STAN. I was reading his autobio with David Ritz - Divided Soul...and they spent some time talking about his relationship with his first wife Anna....and this song was mentioned. So - I said....let me listen to it. Boyy...that was IT. His best music - was his most personal music IMO. p.s. I don't know about surround sound - but I have Bose headphones....and THIS SOUNDS AMAZING with them...it did before.....but Marvin's music deserves the best speakers/headphones that I have (or can find).
He created a whole album based the relationship with her and what an album. On one side of the album cover it had love and happiness and on the back side pain and divorce. The whole album is great of course.
@@TaylorMadeCori I read that autobiography at the age of 15...a year after his passing in '84. After reading it, I became one of his biggest fans. I tell any and everybody that if you want to know who Marvin Gaye was and what was going on in his life, just listen to his music. Everything he sang about is what was going on in his life at that time of that song.
I can understand you getting goosebumps. That's exactly how a lot of of felt years ago when he recorded this. It's so SMOOTH. Especially them Ooouuuu Babe Ooouuuu Babe. Don't hold back being dramatic on it. I was happy when they used this track on Baby Boy. It set the mood.
Beautiful to see you holding back your emotion at the end. It’s such an overwhelming song, perfectly sung. I just hope I go to heaven to hear Marvin up ther singing, lol
Omg Yo Bro This Is My Soooooong Ahh Man Jesus Christ 😄❤ He's Such A Genius Yo JJ Let Me Give Some History To His Genius He Actually Wrote And Produced This Song For The Group Originals Back In 1970 That's Them Singing The Background Vocals That's Just Proved How Genius He Was And His Music Was Timeless Unbelievable 💯 That Song Was Dedicated To His Wife Anna That Was The Beginning Of Their Divorce Which Led To The Album Here My Dear That You Reacted Too
I knew it another "Mother Popcorn" JAM!!! lol ♥ Yes when I first heard this I was like :O he cursed, lmbo!! Man I love this song sooooo much. RIP Marvin Gaye ♥ Kenny Lattimore & Randy Crawford did a nice rendition as well.
I've been waiting for you guys to get around to this song. It's like the gates of Heaven swung open when Marvin let this go. Very few artists throughout history could have a magical effect on men and women like this. Keep in mind this song was made 50 years ago! The world would be in much better shape now if the music industry stayed on this path.
Hmm, I don’t know about smoother but definitely as great and maybe more emotional and heart wrenching. That has to be up next. Also “Its Madness,” yet I don’t think many people know it because it’s never mentioned and it’s incredible. The lyrics and melody, OMG.
He used to sit in the Motown lobby and sing to girls and they'd damned near fall out. The Girls? The Supremes, Mary Wells, Martha and the Vandellas etc. Marvin's hits at the time?...Zero lol. Brah had "it" when he walked through the door lol.
You're so right they just don't make it like this anymore that's why I have to keep listening to these songs to really get some good music in my bones and my spirit, keep it coming young man I really like your show
Great reaction, JJ! Your goosebumps was proof that this masterpiece was taking you to where it wanted you to go! I've been listening to this song since 1973, and I don't recall ever thinking that it didn't have a "beat"! Thanks for pointing that out to me! This song, this song!! It is probably the best slow song I have ever heard! The instruments, the background singers, the "hollowness" effect on the vocals and instruments, the violins!.... Thank you very much!!
my bad JJ-i dont stink i explained what i was saying about my speakers?i was trying 2 reply to U saying what it would be like to listen to-Just To Keep U Satisfied, with a good sound system!
This is one of the transcendental tracks that made Marvin Gaye a legend. It's about the breakdown of his marriage, further explored in the brutally honest and at points equally heartwrenching Here My Dear album. Another otherworldly Marvin Gaye track is the 1974 live in Oakland version of Distant Lover, superficially a sexy love ballad, but he is really singing to Tammi Terrell, his duet partner and probably soul mate who had passed away.
Yes, smooth. And if you loved this song you would love the album Vulnerable as it is just ballads which was(in my opinion)where Marvin was the most dreamy . His voice can make me happy and sad at the same time,
@@feliciasanders2066 i meant that i stunk the background singers was a group and they were,they were called the Originalz!they had 2 big hits in the 70z
I grew up on Marvin Gaye. We literally cried when he died. He is my ALL TIME favorite Artist, wit his demons & all. Listening to his music opens up my Heart Charka and causes me to cry [cleansing tears], pour out of my spirit, and fall in love [to easy, quick, and soon]. LOL It' is truly a spiritual / sexual healing experience FOR REAL. However, I learned years ago to keep Marvin's music OUT OF my "musical dating playlist" because due to the frequency it stirs up in me, Marvin's music will f@&% around and have you IN LOVE wit a stranger. Yes, it's that deep. ROFLMAO
Imagine hearing this at 12 years old. put the record player arm on repeat. just to put me to sleep. The Ad lib orchestra makes no sense. the one piano move at the beginning the off-bear and rhythmic base under scored by the vocals tying all the rule breaking notes together. And yes don't we forget the bitching once in bed. So would say to this is the all-time fave
They originally recorded 2 versions of this tune, which both are gold, before Marvin did his rendition. Marvin actually used those background vocals for his version. Another Motown group, that went by the name "The Monitors", led by Richard Street (pre Tempts) did a nice rendition also.
This song was part of his divorce settlement from Berry Gordy's sister. She requested he write a song and she would get the proceeds and royalties. That's why it was so passionate and heartfelt. That was his goodbye essentially. Amazing!!
@@SimplyBeingTT you really took the time to reply to this which is absolutely true. You obviously have too much time on your hands. Get a life. Read a book. Stop being a troll. Sad.
If his cussing suprised ya' , listen to the lyrics of his song Soon I'll Be Loving You. The original album version not the alternate versions that erases things out,
One of my Marvin's songs, u hear him say "give me some h#@$," he was a very sexy and sensual man but was so conflicted w his dad being a cross dresser, Marvin being molested and his spiritual upbringing. One of our most influential singers due to a complicated life. Love u forever, Marvin
I dedicated it yesterday to my now ex-wife! We got divorced yesterday on March 8, 2021 .... thank you for everything my beautiful Inés ... it was 7 very beautiful year’s with you and I will only take the beautiful memories of you darling .. 😌😞💔💔💔
Please try Come get to This from the same album many a child conceived to this including my son. This voice as bigger loss to the world of that”those of Freddie Mercury and Karen Carpenter just my opinion.
Is Marvin talking about his first wife who was Motown's owner Barry Gordy's sister or his second wife who left him for Teddy Pendergrass? You need Mother Popcorn are whatever their name is to request Marvin's song "If I should die tonight"
That was for his wife not so ?? went that divorce went down (l think he loss too much)!!, it is a sad way he went down ohh my - great voice just like all those singer who have gone down a sad road wow
I could listen to Marvin all day, every day.
So many Greats. Marvin is my Goat. Can’t think of a song I don’t love
They played a snippet of this in Baby Boy
Not many artists sing like they really feel it and mean it !! Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway for me ❤️
Yes and Donny, I just can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone react to His “You were Meant for Me.” Even his duos with Roberta Flack, just don’t get it.
Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye were born in some other dimension.
You need to listen to " If I should die tonight " makes me cry 💔
That's just a beautiful classic too 👍🏾👌
It was the very last note. The way Marvin expressed it...it sounded like a wounded spirit doing a death moan. Superbly emotional!!!
I've made that sound...that is a "man cry."
The vocals the emotions that he conveyed through that song I just off-the-charts Shear greatness.❤✝️❤
His voice is “haunting”. I think that’s one way you can describe his voice… His vocal range is unparalleled as a male vocalist in my opinion… Maybe Maxwell compares favorably in that way… I can’t think of many more artists though. Absolutely, uniquely talented
BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

His greatest song of many many brilliant songs
Easily the best vocals ever he could bring tears to your eyes with his voice as another commentator said listen to if I should die tonight

Undisputed classic no doubt about it this is real lyricism about real love.
I first heard this on Baby Boy! I had to look it up on Limewire lol! No RUclips at the time! 😂😂
Facts. You remember them limewire days?!? 😂😂😂. I had made hella CDs as a kid when my dad showed me how to make them.
This track is truly operatic- I still have the vinyl but haven’t played this in a while
Oh yes I remember this song on this album so beautifully sang by Marvin Gaye!
Beautiful to see you holding back your emotion at the end. It’s such an overwhelming song, perfectly sung. I just hope I go to heaven to hear Marvin up ther singing, lol
This song just makes me cry 😢😢😢🙏🏼
OMG!!! And so few people know about this song.
You should play MAZE SILKY SOUL SINGER. A TRIBUTE TO MARVIN GAYE.
Heavenly voice....true legend.

Goose bumps and chills for sure, you have to when Marvin sings his killer ballads and he has so many. The emotion in his voice goes right through you!

Loved this song as a child ( before I knew what it meant😅) to this day August 13, 2024 and forever.😢🥰❤️
@@Nell_3 Hey, some songs are just timeless.
Yes goosebumps lol😂 make you wanna cry
No words. No words.
Just an experience
"If I should die tonight" is his smoothest song

Shout out to the string,brass & piano(Marvin) players!!
1 of the best break up/divorce songs out there.
All true, my Bratha.
Yes, smooth. And if you loved this song you would love the album Vulnerable as it is just ballads which was(in my opinion)where Marvin was the most dreamy . His voice can make me happy and sad at the same time,
My favorite album by Marvin Gaye.
Shout out to Marvin,Anna,Elgie,James Jammerson,the muscians & the background singers(i stink they were a group?)
You stink?😂🤣😂😜

Bad jam
It's too late for you and me it's too late for you to cry

Baby boy brought me here 🙂
Great album. 😎
What’s Going on . Is a perfect album
The Originalz killed it on the background vocalz!!!

Oh, my. Wrong Information. Do research first please. This is incorrect.
@@SimplyBeingTT you really took the time to reply to this which is absolutely true. You obviously have too much time on your hands. Get a life. Read a book. Stop being a troll. Sad.
Check out Marvin Gaye doing the Star Spangled Banner at the NBA All Star Game. His rendition was so controversial. But he killed it!!!
You should listen to his song"when did you stop loving me" powerful song
Perfect break up song ever!!!
Yes....Marvin had a potty mouth. Check out his last album "Sanctified Lady" album.....very risque!
If his cussing suprised ya' , listen to the lyrics of his song Soon I'll Be Loving You. The original album version not the alternate versions that erases things out,
Great vid bro.
Thank you!
A divorce ballad if ever there was one. Top notch Marvin. There's a very good cover of this by Kenny Lattimore.
One of my Marvin's songs, u hear him say "give me some h#@$," he was a very sexy and sensual man but was so conflicted w his dad being a cross dresser, Marvin being molested and his spiritual upbringing. One of our most influential singers due to a complicated life. Love u forever, Marvin
Ooooh,Where does he say that? 😄
i love the sax playing
Gonna need a replacement for "Teena Marie-portuguese love"

This voice as bigger loss to the world of that”those of Freddie Mercury and Karen Carpenter just my opinion.
can you react to ego tripping(single version) by marvin
Single greatest breakup record ever!
Is Marvin talking about his first wife who was Motown's owner Barry Gordy's sister or his second wife who left him for Teddy Pendergrass? You need Mother Popcorn are whatever their name is to request Marvin's song "If I should die tonight"
I sent this to all of my side chicks when Corana hit.. ✌️But to keep you satisfied .. 🤔 it's to late
That was for his wife not so ?? went that divorce went down (l think he loss too much)!!, it is a sad way he went down ohh my - great voice just like all those singer who have gone down a sad road wow
