I was born & raised in Detroit, Michigan. When I was 13 years of age, after hearing Marvin Gaye's music I had to meet him! (I had every album he ever made!) I did not know what a “Concert” was, but I snuck out the house, willing to bear the consequences of "getting in trouble" with my very strict Mother. I went to Cobo Hall, and somehow made it to the front row! Marvin Gaye held my hand and sang a part of "Distant Lover" to me. There will never be another Marvin Gaye! My apologies to my Dear Mother, because as a teen I must have played my Distant Lover LP one million times. Peace

Seems like she was quickly forgotten after she died, only Marvin paid tribute to her how sad for these two 😢

No she isn't, never never could she be forgotten. I know many fans and I will always remember her and her voice...I just think the way she died, snatched away by brain cancer during the time when the word meant sure death to most people, the fear is still attached. They were the closest of friends and all the fans of both were hoping they would end up together because both had such bad luck with partners... but alas😢 But that choir in Heaven is full of beautiful souls with beautiful voices 💕🙌🏽 Peace and love 🥰

That is true Marvin had a chance to. Really be with Tammy but he chose to deal with the situation he was all ready involved with. He chose pride over his Heart. But he found out. Ant nothing. Like the real thing I believe that's why he so hurt

It totally broke my heart when his father killed him 😢 Marvin’s voice was smooth as silk and he sounded great with it without music. Loved myself some him! 🩵🩵

How sweet it was that marvin gaye remembered tammi Terrell it's shows how much he loved her misses her and never forgot about her,marvin gaye really kept her in his heart how sweet that was

Listening to Marvin's voice with the knowledge of what happened to his dear and beloved friend is powerful enough to bring a grown man to tears; just saying. Rest in peace Marvin & Tammi. 🙏🏾

Now this is class. Not to hate on the performers of today, but they could all stand to learn something from this gentleman. RIP to such a talented, classy, romantic, soulful man. He was a true artist 💜.

I've always said he's tremendously underrated by the mainstream media. However, Rolling Stone magazine did rate his '71 (LP), "What's Going On," #1 of all time. I still listen to it. Sad it's still relevant 50 years later. What a storyteller he was with a unique voice!

This World was not good enough for Marvin, he made mistakes in his life and would be the first to admit it,

Honey is good for the soul too. Marvin was anointed

Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell are my favorites and the best Ain't Nothing Like Real Thing, and If This World Were Mine.... Ain't No Mountains High Enough. I love to pull out the vinyl's and play them. Still sounds good today. 😊

I believe that these two very talented singers had a very deep brother/ sister love and respect for eachother . They are in Heaven now probably singing for the angels. May they rest in peace.

Marvin and Sam Cooke on a record 🔥🔥🙌🏽 would have been heavenly

Thank you Marvin to have made us so happy with your songs,your personnality!!!GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL!!!

Tammi is looking from those clouds and stars, smiling down on her friend/duet-singing partner Marvin, and she's smiling on Him on how far he has gone with his music without her. I know Tammi's spirit is by his side singing along with Marvin. Tammi would've loved this.😃🙌. That's my opinion

I love Marvin Gaye for his sincere love and respect for Tammi Terrell. He remembers her with affection 11 years after she died.

MARVIN HAD A UNIVERSAL SOUND, THAT EVERYONE ENJOYED ! ! REST IN PERFECT LOVE AND PEACE !

The love 💕 they had for each other came through in their music, even though they were very dear friends,they had this special connection.

RIP MARVIN AND TAMMI. 😪😔🙏🙏💔💔♥️♥️.

If years could fall down his face he loved Tammi he singing for Tammi but he crying in his heart for Tammi but now they can sing together in heaven

Happy HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MR. GAYE

MAGICAL MR MARVIN SILKY VOICE🎤🎶🕴🏽 U R TRULY MISSED😢💔 U R 🥀 STILL IS REAL THING IN SPIRIT 💞🕴🏽💖

This was so beautiful and heart warming. One of the greatest singers of all time. RIP Marviv

The fact that Papa Marvin would pay tributes to Tammi in his concerts anyone would think Tammi was his wife being so powerfully emotive and just adding in adlibs of love and affection in the pockets. Also, he had married Janis who was supposedly meant to be the turnin point for him but that ended round this time n so awkwardly.. & yet good ol Marvin would Always come back to Tammi. He literally is just singing to Her like its just them 2 alone lol.. "Aint nothin like the real thing baby". Damn, if that aint True Soul Love i dont know what is. 🔥🌻☄ #ForHerIThankYou

My favorite singer, Marvin Gaye

Such a talented , wonderful singer. So sad that he had such turmoil within. God bless Marvin Gay. He is no longer in pain. I think he had a deep brotherly love with Tammi Terrell and she with him. They are together now in Heaven. God bless them both.

Thank God for music…this is just simply beautiful!!❤🎉

I was one ☝🏽 years old to this day this song bring tears to my eyes. I love you Marvin Gaye omg I know how it feels to love a special person 😢

Still one of his greatest performances...

Effortlessly beautiful

Marvin gaye had it going on he was to good good looking and very very handsome.

This song was originally written by Marvin Gaye as a duet for him and Tammi Terrell.....The words say it all...A love letter from Marvin to Tammi....and in the original you hear Tammi reply. Fittingly this version only has Marvin's part. Tammi died tragically from a brain tumour in march 1970 aged 24. In her short life she endured domestic abuse from three men and was regularly beaten up by them sometimes in public and on stage, One of the men was James Brown (I Feel Good- Beating women up) and the other was David Ruffin (lead singer of the drifters) who hit her on the back of the head with a hammer shortly before she collapsed and became hospitalised.I believe Marvin Gaye felt guilty after the death of Tammi and some say he never really recovered turning to drugs and a downward spiral. One of the songs he wrote (What's going on") was in protest of his record company not letting him know the full situation with Tammi and the fact she was snatched away at such a young age and not protected from these bully boys. Later in his concerts Marvin always included three songs he dedicated to Tammi and I believe this is one of them..... Two interesting facts are that Tammi's mother only allowed Marvin to attend Tammi's funeral and banned all of the other members of Motown. Marvin also stated he would never duet with another lady singer after Tammi died and he did indeed keep to his word. I understand Marvin wrote this song for her after she had a private conversation with him and explained her situation....RIP Marvin and Tammi

Just discovered his song!! GOD IS LOVE!!!! Woooh so powerful
