Asia & BJ, Marvin's "Lets Get It On" and "What's Going On" are next for you. He had amazing duets with Tammi Terrell such as "Aint No Mountain High Enough", "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" and "You're All I Need to Get By". Creedence Clearwater Revival does an amazing 11 minute cover of this song.

Marvin Gaye's version of this song will always be the definitive version for me, although the CCR and Gladys Knight versions are great too. Gaye's voice fits the song perfectly. And the strings and the backing vocals, the drums, guitar, bass and keyboard. Perfection. I remember how shocking it was when he died and how tragic it was. Check out these other Marvin Gaye classics when you can: "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", "Ain't That Peculiar", "That's The Way Love Is", "Sunny", "What's Going On, " "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)", "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)", "Can I Get A Witness", "Let's Get It On", "Got to Give It Up" and many more! Plus, check out his duets with Tammi Terrell -- "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" among others.

Think he had Possibly one of the greatest voices to grace this world with Otis Redding :)

Greatest intro in the history of popular music. The piano, the percussion, the horns... then when he hits that first note! Goosebumps. Every. Time. Even after 50 years.

I grew up a rocker but I love Marvin Gay!!! First song I acknowledge of his was Sexual Healing back in the 80s and I was hooked.... went back looking at his career and was stunned 😳 ...he is a legend 😎

[ProdigyBowlersTour]

How is it even possible for the two of you to have lived this long without ever hearing this?

[sumonjamal]

Marvin Gaye is just a legendary, iconic voice in R&B... Just listening to this track and hearing the nuances that he weaved w/ his vocals and evoked the emotions of the lyrics is a TREAT! R.I.P. to the legend 😪

[walterpanovs]

Arguably the greatest Motown single (#1 for 7 weeks) and one of the all-time great recordings in general. Brilliant vocals and production. Haunting. The song had been recorded by two other Motown acts earlier (Gladys Knight had a hit with it in a different style just a year or two earlier). It was originally an album track for Gaye and he was the one who insisted it be released as a single. He was right on.

My all time favorite Marvin Gaye ❤ song. Way to go guys. I watch regularly about 30 reaction people on YouTube this is a first. Well done. Cheers

[gregrot]

Great tune, released in 1968 and still gets my foot tapping.

[MrGeter]

Marvin could sing the phone book. Stubborn Kinda Fellow, Hitch Hike, I'll Be Doggone, Ain't That Peculiar, Too Busy Thinking About My Baby, Got To Give It Up---those songs just scratch the surface. You could spend all day listening to Marvin Gaye and never get tired.

Wife here..One of my very favorite Marvin Gaye songs..The instrumentation arrangement "Perfection"!

[beverlybrown]

Three great versions of this song, and you should check out all of them. This one, CCR, and my personal favorite, Gladys Knight and the Pips. Though every time I hear any of them I can't help but see the dancing raisins from the 1980s commercials for California raisins.

Marvin Gaye is my absolute favorite if I'm listening to this song. CCR comes right in there, to be honest.

The grapevine is by word-of-mouth, person to person down the line. There is also a stretch of Highway 99 (now Hwy 5) that travels from Bakersfield, Ca to Los Angeles that (at least in the past) was called The Grapevine. The first time I heard the Credence Clearwater Revival's version when it came out in 1970, I was driving through The Grapevine section headed for LA on the way to San Diego. This classic of Marvin Gaye's came out in 1968. It's kind of a crazy song, the lyrics are so sad, yet the music feels so good. It is easy for the chorus to get stuck in your head.

[johnathanstruble]

The damned ole Grapevine! The original Twiiter..lol..keep em coming!

[randy]

You would love hearing the 2 other major covers of this song by Gladys Knight & the Pips and Creedence Clearwater Revival. They are both as high quality as this.

[leisastalnaker]

As many versions as this song has had. My favorite and the most soulful.❤️

[jazznawol]

One of my favorite singers of all time. Marvin was a God

[Noelle]

This song always reminds me of the movie The Big Chill. Marvin is legend! We lost him way too soon
