Marvin Gaye
Sometimes, it's challenging to write about an artist, giving full credit to their impact on music lovers and the wider society as a whole. I can only say Marvin Gaye's impact was and is extraordinary.
Apart from his mellifluous and seductive voice, Gaye's gyrations often added color to his delivery, when needed. His repertoire is varied and classic. When this artist released, " What's Going On", the song seemed just to appeal to inner city folks who were facing a crisis. Today that song is a national treasure. The song also earned Gaye the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Album 1971. Among his other accolades are A Grammy Award in 1983 for Best R&B Male artist with "Sexual Healing.", NAACP Image Award - Hall of Fame Award in 1988 and others.
This artis had several recordings like "How Sweet It Is", "Ain't nothing Like the Real Thing". "Mercy, Mercy ME", "I heard it Through the Grapevine", and of course "Let's Get it on". This song is the thirteenth studio album from Marvin Gaye and was released in August 1973. and went on to hit number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Talking about sensuous! Just Listen. (All the voices in this song are Marvin Gaye's.) Let's be turned on.
Let's Get it On."
I've been really trying baby.
Trying to hold back this feeling for so long.
And if you feel like I feel baby
Then come on, oh come on.
Let's get it on.
Ah, baby, let's get it on
Let's love baby.
Let's, get it on sugar.
Let's get it on.
We're all sensitive people.
With so much to give
Understand me, sugar.
Since we've got to be here
Let's live.
I love you.
There's nothing wrong with me
Loving you, baby no no
And giving yourself to me can never be wrong.
