Guest Gogs Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 has he done anything bad ? . if i had to pick one (this is hard). ok i will choose "COME GET TO THIS".
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Little Darling i Need you is by far the best song he made failing that Two Can Have a Party with Tammi Terrell or If I Could Build My Whole World Around You
Guest Dante Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Ain't No Mountain High if it counts, one of my faves of all time. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) What's Going On... The list is endless.

Guest Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 has he done anything bad ? . if i had to pick one (this is hard). ok i will choose "COME GET TO THIS". i will second that statement , so the selection of the " best " MG recording is extremely difficult . Malc Burton
Raresoul45s Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 When I feel the need, been around a while now but still does it for me. Probably one of the best finds and dancers of recent times. Cheers Darren. www.raresoul45s.co.uk

Agentsmith Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 goes without saying, an artist who has NEVER made a bad recording and thus, presents us all with the headache of "CALLING IT". I'LL NOT BE UPSETTING THE APPLECART THEN, WHEN SAYING YOU CANNOT BE BIASED.......marvin gaye sits at the right hand of god....thats how revered he is. this is a human being who could turn his hand to any musical style without so much as a slight ( case in point) "its not unusual" hamming it up and still making it sound reputable,...the undisputed joy with which he reads "his eye is on the sparrow" portraying his homage to the lord, his respect for his african roots through the lover's rock/ calypso feel of "sexual healing". he blends, even now, into so many catergories. we dont share the love of the man and his music unreservedly, every generation from every corner of the globe observes his interpretation of how music should look, sound and feel long after his living embodiment has departed....his soul lives on and, his "SOUL" lives on. so im not for putting any particular tune on the line, although that is the purpose of this thread....the man is a law unto his-self, i love everything he did. what i would like to see is him performing in that great forum in the sky....bagsy first in the quque!!, although my other half is likely to beat me to it!!! rob.h

Soulcarp Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Little Darling i Need you is by far the best song he made failing that Two Can Have a Party with Tammi Terrell or If I Could Build My Whole World Around You imho got to agree and include "ain't that peculiar" really really soulful ............ johno

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Another forgotten gem is Without You (Not Another Lonely Night). From his cd box set the Master
Ljblanken Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 don't know if anyone mentioned "end of our road". love the GK and the Pips version as well. just a great song!
Ljblanken Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 ain't that peculiar - absolutely class, love all his stuff except for sexual healing - hate that one I'm afraid! i agree on the sexual healing stuff. leaves me feeling like i need a shower.

Geoff Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 My favourite single by Marvin is I Want You. The lyrics are about yearning for someone who doesn't want you.
Guest Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 60s - 'When I had your love (I was a king)' - Amazing musical arrangement, love the 'King and I' style siamese style intro and one of MARVIN'S most soulful vocals. Achingly good example of Motown's creative production supremacy. 70s - 'Come get to this' - Great melody, superb vocal, stunning drum sounds and that doo-wop flashback ending is pure genius! Had a MARTHA REEVES day yesterday, topped off with watching her comments in that 'Requiem for Detroit' film....Sun's shining brightly, gonna go for a MARVIN GAYE indulgence session today I think, with these two to kick off!
Guest Polyvelts Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I want you But really the entire 'I want you' LP is a masterpiece, and surely one of the greatest soul recordings ever ! That's all my opinion of course, but then I think 'Sexual Healing' is unbelievably brilliant too.
Daved Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 So many wonderful songs, it's difficult to know where to start. For the sake of adding something different I'll go for You Sure Love To Ball.
Stubbsy Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 So many classics from the great man but for me there's got to be two - "Little Darling" and "Aint That Peculiar"
Wrongcrowd Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 when i had your love...............https://www.soul-source.co.uk/more/soul-library/marvin-gaye-when-i-had-you-love-i-was-a-king-tamla Seconded..... ..... ....if you've gotta choose one, this is the one for me too..
Sheldonsoul Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 anyone ever read any of the books on marvin, seems he was a brilliant but strange guy
Guest Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Seconded..... ..... ....if you've gotta choose one, this is the one for me too.. THIRD! I voted for it on POST 40 lol! That's 3 of us who have voted for a record I've never heard played at a do in my life! Edited March 15, 2010 by chorleysoul
Guest Ashbysoulstan Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Marvin at his soulful best: Abraham, Martin & John This could be on the other thread in soungs that could make you cry. Stan
Soulsider Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 TAMLA = 54170 # MARVIN GAYE # AT LAST ( I FOUND A LOVE ) / CHAINED my currant marvin gaye favorite joe. I'm with you Joe. "At Last " is such a brilliant Marvin 45. Every record box should have one
Miss Wasperella Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Absolutely love everything Marvin Gaye has ever done
