Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" Appreciation

[the wizard]

Such as soulful album. The cuts on this masterpiece just make you

�He wrote it as his marriage was falling apart and he had picked up a mistress. You actually notice him use the mistress's name in some of the songs

Most people know the genius of the title track "I Want You" & probably remember the sample of "Soon I'll Be Loving You Again" from "American Dreamin'" on American Gangster.

But I think the track "All The Way Around" is the BEST track on a wonderfully put together concept album, which ended up being true.

It's kind of amazing how dumbed-down songwriting has come since these days

Marvin is one of my top 5 favorite artists ever, grew up with my mom's blasting him in the car.

Here My Dear & What's Going on are my favorite Marvin albums, but this is a classic no doubt.

^ That was my reaction exactly when i saw this thread as the last one on the first page, caught me way off guard..

My pops actually was bumpin this in on the record player he has in the room for hours out the blue last week ..One of my favorite Marvin tracks
by far even though the whole album is

..But this is what R&B soul should be like, its what i grew up listening to around the house as a youngin (im only 19 btw)
but this just proves to you how music changes with the times and you could realy feel dude when he sang- it was so effortless..but thats enough

Can someone help me embed? Thanks >>
