When Smokey wrote this all he gave it to Marvin and said do something with this when he heard what Marvin did to it he couldn't believe it he just said Marvin made it in his own special way Marvin Gaye the greatest of all time

Those background singers, the Adantes, are extraordinary.

I was at work when it was announced that Marvin Gaye had been shot and killed by his father. I was depressed the rest of that day with grief. I remember this song, Ain't That Peculiar. And another great song, Can I Get A Witness. RIP Marvin. You were one of a kind. Smooth as silk.

As an elementary school kid in the 60s I didn't understand these songs in an adult way though I can still sing the lyrics from memory 50 years later. Those Motown songs pervaded the old neighborhoods before the neighborhood lost its collective mind. Weekends and summers were glorious before gangs and drugs destroyed things.

And aren't you forgetting the singer that single-handedly made Berry Gordy [and Motown] the powerhouse producer and record company they became. I'm speaking of course, of the TRUE 'greatest singer' ever - Jackie Wilson. As Berry Gordy famously said of the late and [very great] Mr Wilson - 'He was so good, he could sing anything'. A more fitting tribute you will never hear.

Your mixes are amazing ,to hear Earl van Dykes key board genius then The Detroit symphony orchestra .Followed by The tortured genius that was the late Marvin Gaye.Thanks a million 👍🇬🇧.London Paul.

That Motown lineup was the best EVER at one record label, nothing is a close second!!!

Marvin was ahead of his time.Some of his songs need to be played today.Like What's Going on with our Blacks.Mercy,Mercy Me.

What a fabulous time to grow up in . I was born in 1950 and arriving in the sixties as a young teen we were treated to the most fabulous music. I wonder if teens now will be listening to such relevant and still exciting music in 60 years time!!

The Pioneers of Soul began in the early 60's. Nothing like it in the 50's. The 70's , 80's , 90's , and the new millenium have to thank the Soul of the Sixties for that great rhythm and soulful sound which bought about people of all races together and party.

Man!, he was the coolest!

I understand why it's called Soul music I immediately felt it in my Soul and flooded with goosebumps

Marvin Gaye one of the best singers from Motown. His songs of the 60's decade were great but the 70's and 80's decades songs were better to me. It only means Marvin got better with time. I loved Marvin Gaye. Such an unfortunate tradegy and death. Cora Guice

"What's Going On" in 1971 stands heads and shoulders over everything else Marvin Gaye did. Sadly, I think Marvin was fighting too many inner demons to ever create another album like "What's Going On".

Call Marvin sing to me oh Marvin Gaye he got it going on still you want to ask about what's going on he been having it going on all his life even though he was taking him from us early in life but Marvin always I tell you he brought me out and I brought me out of a lot of things listening to his LP back in 77 oh my God Marvin what can I say about you everything to me Marvin Gaye smooches rest don't hide love you so much in Jesus name peace within grace and mercy love you so very much Marvin Gaye continue to be blessed in Jesus name rest in peace now amen

So much HOPE in the music. Feel like me and my brother are rollin down Flatbush Ave with my grandpa in the olive green Plymouth Fury heading for a Saturday in the city. If we behave it’s a night game at Shea Stadium with the mighty Yankees. Sweet emotion

Written by that songwriting genius...the great one...the "cute" lyrics are the give away...William "Smokey" Robinson....listen to those lyrics...I can't do without them....

Just learned of Mosogotams passing back in April . Damn this virus to hell. What a horrible loss for us who have been brought joy by his incredible work he’s done with these classics from our youth.

I was the DJ playing those 45's at 7yrs old. Still remember the words, honey you do me wrong still I'm crazy about you! Sing the damn song Marvin like only you could. This is grown folk music.
