[@cmathews5909]

Its not sexy at all; its a tragedy. Like "What's Going On" this album too had a strong socioeconomic message. The 1970's marked the beginning of US manufacturing moving to Asia (China) and a series of massive economic downturns. Please be mindful that the pimp culture EXPLODED "(3:17) ain't it lonely out there" during this period. Marvin's character, unbothered by this reality pursues one woman, offers her security and love, but she can't bothered.

[@jideakinola2398]

This is Marvin’s best single bar none. Just listen to the first 77 seconds and you are hooked. I love every track Marvin Gaye has ever recorded, but this does something to me that none of the other track does. Maybe it’s depth. It’s short, and kind of rushed (but it wasn’t) and I never want it to end. I cannot listen to it once. I always replay it. It’s a masterpiece. You have to listen to it, not sing along with it to appreciate it. Then sing along with it. Those who love and appreciate the track will get what I mean.

[@noeltaylor3594]

I remember when this first came out, remember the album cover in the store called Gibsons in McKinney, Texas. For years this was my favorite Marvin tune. I fine myself doing the back ground vocals which just add so much to the song. What a tortured soul, but the great one's seem to be that way sometimes. They see things we can't, but the spotlight gets so hot that they literally melt.
