Can I get a Witness-Marvin Gaye

This is a short clip of the Legendary Marvin Gaye performing one of his early and classic hits!

[@williamjclinton1]

The epitome of cool soul ! Marvin is too cool to sweat .The true crown prince of Motown ! R.I.P marvelous one .

[@coyotesong]

Quintessential Motown Sound by The Main Man Himself. This song sounds as fresh today as it did some 50 years ago. Fantastic talent, fantastic song.

[@coyotesong]

Sheer Motown genius....from the hip cool lyrics to the unbelievably cool sounds of the band backing a gospel kind of delivery by Mr. Soul himself.

[@njmezzo]

I remember hearing this song for the first time when it was introduced in 1963. The joy, the swing, the rhythm, the sound of Marvin's voice--blew me away.

[@TheBlueb0ttle]

I'm old enough to remember this first time round................yea, I'm still breathing, just.

[@harphan]

Marvelous voice. A great singer Marvin. Thanks !

[@cartagenero1980]

Its a nice thing to listen the original Marvin Gaye singing Can I get a Witness, I am not English born speaker, my first language is spanish, but i enjoy a lot tha particular song and I believe actually that the motown sound from Marvin to M jackson defined the music today in the world, thanks nessam for upload that beatiful song

[@Fuzzybear378]

Excellent video of the mighty Marvin Gaye. (All go- go dancers then, danced that way and were hired to do it that certain way.)

[@shop4sue]

@Glamrma Didn't we have a ball...We didn't ever think in our wildest dreams that we would see an assination of music...Thank God for UTube because many of us threw these 45's around like they were't priceless.

[@nessam72]

LOL, yeah he's gettin' it in! And it is real old school.

[@kjchicago1]

As I said, this tune was released in September 1963 on Motown's Tamla Records label as Tamla 54087

[@tcmooreuk]

[@DetroitLives313]

Those are the Supremes singing background on this song.

[@Jim21680]

This is awesome. I've only just heard of this song through the Elton John cover, and it's probably the only other Marvin Gaye song I've ever heard beside Heard it Through the Grape Vine. Good Stuff!

[@RobetPaulG]

We shall seek and destroy those who don't like this. LOL

[@Blackwido88]

legend!

[@tropicalpancake56]

YES!!!!!!!!

[@MercedesSantiaga]

I know, I didnt' even realise he had been out that long. I love his voice. I didn't even know he made this song. So you uploaded this! Do you have a collection stashed away somewhere? LOL people are gonna be lovin this when they find this video.

[@wmprokipchak]

i told a sweet girl who is studying voice at Berklee Colleg of Music (working in a candy store!) to look this up for a masterclass in vocals so brilliant that she should transcribe these vocals onto a sheet of music..and he just hits a handful of notes but how and when and for how long......how many different ways can you say the word witness?? just amazing swing & Louis Armstronglike ability with his instrument.

[@gluttonforpun]

those girls on the stage gettin RATCHET, man...

[@martmako1]

if only chicks would still dance like this in today's times, wouldn't it be fabulous..

[@oscarnine2]

The dancer just to his right is fiendin' for him bad.

[@40Waxx]

@Rob Muszynski I think Dancer #4 is Teri Garr. Kind of hard to tell cuz we never get a clear look at her face.

[@TheBlueb0ttle]

Class....

[@nessam72]

@williamjclinton1 I agree! Thanks for the visit :)

[@kjchicago1]

@MercedesSantiaga He did! In September Of 1963!

[@SnoopySmurf]

@zenithwalrus If seven years danced like this, they're possessed.

[@buffaloannavie]

Awesome voice sexy!

[@michiganblkman]

I have a question. I am not a vocalist so I want to ask someone who actually sings, how hard was it for Marvin to sing they lyric "home" like he did at the .10 second mark of this song? I noticed in some of the other live performances that he did of the same song he didnt sing the lyric that way. Was it a spontaneous thing? Was it difficult?

[@kjchicago1]

@Msemospongebob This is from 1963

[@nessam72]

@Msemospongebob Aww, Thanks! lol

[@daharvey1]

People that have made these comments must be so young. Everybody knows about the Marvelous Marvin Gaye. Where u been under a rock.

[@40Waxx]

Great song, thanks, nessam. I think one of the blonde dancers behind Marvin is Teri Garr.

[@nessam72]

@Msemospongebob :-D Thanks, Love Ya too!

[@zenithwalrus]

Marvin is wonderful here. John Lennon named this song as one of his favorites. But what is up with those dancers? Wow! They dance like 7 year olds at a slumber party.

[@nessam72]

Lol, thanks! I'll try ?

[@Glamrma]

@zenithwalrus Obviously you aren't that old. This was big time dancing. There were shows like Hullabaloo, Shindig, Soul Train, American Bandstand.....and then there was the Midnight Special, not a dance show but great just the same.

[@musicteachjw]

I loves me some Marvin Gaye - but the dancers "where the beat".

[@Wolfsky9]

I don't know who these idiots are, but let me tell it like it was: I'm a Nice Italian boy, & when this song came on, we tore the floor up--the Italians & the Mexicans used to see just who could do it better--at my school! Take it to Church, Bro. Marvin!!! Wolfsky9

[@jejimypr]

I sorta think the charlie brown kids are getting down in their own little way.

[@blah3189]

Gerald's Game, anybody? ;)

[@JokuRevU]

who Dat on that paino??

[@LiberatorYourself]

I whip my hair back in forth I whip my hair back in forth *mocking the girls voice in my manly voice. They started that way back(as you can see in this video), Willow smith did'int start that...

[@moosmuszynskk]

[@gerdempsey1421]

[@starcharm]

@zenithwalrus LMFAO

[@fishfreak911]

@thincow12 This doesn't even deserve as response. Just a thumbsdown folks.

[@goldstein321]

[@TheSocialite1]
