It is Al Green.

So many were left off, like my favorites "Ain't That Peculiar," and "How Sweet it is To Be Loved By You," but I picked "Mercy, Mercy Me!"

"Too Busy Thinking About My Baby"

Dean Winchester · 03-30-2004, 03:27 AM

Tuesday Weld · 03-30-2004, 11:38 AM

I like so many of his songs, that I couldn't narrow it down to just a few......

Dr. Jazz · 03-30-2004, 01:38 PM

What's Going On?, Sexual Healing
There are so many. Some of my favorites that are not on the list:
Come Get to This
Turn on Some Music

Got to Give it Up

Crimson and Clover · 03-30-2004, 04:10 PM

Can I Get A Witness

isiahthomas · 03-30-2004, 04:20 PM

Dr Jazz i'm surprised u said Sanctified Lady. That's a tight song. Have u heard his Dream Of A Lifetime album? That's the last album he did before he died. I think it came out in 83. Turn On Some Music song was sampled by rapper Erick Sermon for his Music song which became a big hit for Erick. G Unit sampled Marvin Gaye's Come Live With Me Angel song for their I Wanna Get To Know U song with r&b singer Joe which is gettin a lot of video play & radio play right now. There's a lot of Marvin Gaye songs i like to so i can't say just one. Got To Give It Up song is the jam. That song is long.

jamier42 · 03-30-2004, 08:14 PM

I like more than one of his songs.
1. What's Going On
2. Let's Stay Together
3. How Sweet It is To Be Loved By You
4. Mercy Mercy Me
5. Sexual Healing

Of the ones listed up top Aint Nothing Like the Real Thing is my favorite. The ones he did with Tammi Terrell were really outstanding. A good combination of good performers and really good songwriting. Michael McDonald redoes quite a few old Marvin Gaye tunes on his latest CD and it struck me how good those old motown numbers were that they could be reinterpreted by someone completely out of the motwon context and they still sound fresh and compelling.

Tragically, although he was very talented, Marvin Gaye had a very tormented life. Are there any successful singers who aren't driven to create genuis by personal turmoil?

jamesanthony · 03-31-2004, 11:12 AM

Actually relooking at the list again I meant to cast a vote for Aint No Mountain High Enough.

JMO, but I don't think Michael McDonald does Marvin's or any of the Motown singer's songs justice.
