Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye's Duets are and will always be timeless!! RIP to both Tammi and Marvin

[@aarondigby5054]

Tammi and Marvin's duet is arguably the greatest of all time, you can say Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warren Johnny Cash and June Carter, irregardless you can argue the point that it's Marvin and Tammi and they'll have to take heed. Definitely in the top five.

[@monilaninetynine3811]

The reason Tammi and Marvin were so close is because they WERE NOT A COUPLE. They were not each other's type like that. Marvin did not like independent, smart-mouthed women and Tammi was more into bad boys with confidence. Marvin was too insecure and sensitive for her. This is what people fail to understand. Everybody thinks they were in love with each other because they looked and sounded good together and had performance chemistry. Marvin said it many times in interviews and Marvin had his faults, but he was brutally honest about his life and how he felt about people.

Keep in mind she on turned like that after trauma it wasn't the real her cuz you heard him say after the r*pe at age 11 her mentality changed. She was basically like those rescued dogs that are soo shook that they take a while to warm up to humans again " her smart mouth/independance " could be a coping mechanism to TEST the man she was dealing with but if you can read between it or look past it yk is a front or sumin she picked up from dealing with certain characters she could be independent which is good cuz you should have seen how bad boys did Billie Holiday and left her broke and if she was gonna have her heart broken at least her bank ain't broke would be safe from addicts

Greetings from The UK. I feel so sad for this beautiful lady, because as a fellow Migraine sufferer, i can totally relate to her anguish. May she and her dear sister, who were both taken from us way too soon, rest in peace and thank you for gifting us your lovely songs. Thank you also to the narrator, for recounting her story in a most pleasant and respectful way. xxxxx ...... Incidentally, my Migraines always start in my right eye and as long as i immediately take a Rizatriptan tablet, it stops it from progressing. However, if it starts in my sleep, i wake up in agony and no amount of tablets will shift it and it gets worse and worse as the day wears on. After about 10 hours of my right eye being all puffed up in agony and constantly watering very badly and me being rendered bedbound, it eventually stars to fade. Sometimes i don't get another one for weeks or months, then other times, i get a cycle of them for the rest of that week and they totally debilitate me. As a precaution, i always carry my Triptan tablets in my handbag, just in case i get an attack while i am out shopping etc ... I am 60 years old now and i have been crippled by these horrid headaches since i was 18 years old, but apart from this affliction, thankfully, i am in great physical health for my age.

They need to do a movie for her she is the true definition of Women Strength

[@55thst_rojos]

My grandmother swears that the house my aunt lives in today is Tammi childhood home, we just know it’s the block though. Every time someone does a documentary on her I debate about if I should listen to it because it always makes me tear up. I think Taraji looks like her, but I think they should go with a new artist but whoever they get to play her I just want them to do justice. Because that Aliyah and Bobby DeBarge was awful.

Especially tupac biopic

Sweet, I'm going to check this one out. You should do the story of this young West Coast rapper named Charizma who died tragically in December 1993 he really would've become one of the greatest rappers had he lived in my opinion. Happy holidays bruh

Her story was so sad and She was so gorgeous, may she R.I.P.

The new r&b girls could never give me chills 🥰

I went through that at 14 and I believe when we get taken advantage of we tend to wild out cause we control our bodies instead of it being taken from us.

[@ladylyricarmelsmith2002]

You did a great job on telling the Tammi Terrell story I love Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye both thank you for this video

[@tyliekinc.]

You should do a whole Motown series with episodes about Tammi, David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Mary Wells, Paul Williams (updated version), Gladys Horton, Mary Wilson, etc. you should call those episodes for example: Celebrity Underrated - The David Ruffin Story (Motown Edition)

[@jamilledavis6272]

That would be dope great idea!👏🏽

[@blackflipqueen1645]

Yes, Taraji would be perfect to play Tammi. That's her doppelganger.

[@kelvendyson1508]

Wowww!! Great episode Bro!!! Damn near had tears in my eyes!! Thank you...this story needs to be told and Bro you and I are on the same page with Taraji P. Henson portraying Tammi Terrell!!!

[@Kmcali76]

When you've been raped or molested or had any type of sexual trauma.....it's easy to become detached from sex.......you're either HOT HOT or Cold Cold......it's no longer about love. Especially since you didn't get the chance to save your self....for whenever you were ready. Sex & Love are not the same. RIP Tammi Terrell

[@aleesharenea1477]

SO TRUE.

[@BobbiVrrcetti217]

In regards to a Marvin Gaye biopic, there was one that was partially filmed but never released. It's called Sexual Healing, and stars Jessie L. Martin from Rent and was supposed to focus on his later life when he was living overseas, his drug addiction, and the creation of his Midnight Love album. His estate was completely against from the beginning so they couldn't get the rights to the music and they couldn't secure full funding so it went unfinished. There's 4 minutes of it on KZbin.

I do think that Marvin Gaye was in love with Tammi but she looked at him like a friend or a brother.

[@naturalbeauty4734]

YES! 💯 🥰 you can see it by the way he 👀 at her and cared about their friendship..I had a guy friend like "Marvin" who felt the same way about me! but I only see him as a genuine friend. 💯🤗 and I love our friendship. 🙏

[@ValerieGriner]

Tammi deserved sooo much better in life. May she and Marvin Gaye rest in peace. Their duets were out of this world!

[@nikitiam6568]

Very beautiful and talented. Gone so soon. Rest Easy Tammi🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@reggaelove7223]

I bought "I Cried" on a 45rpm when I was 14 years old. I played the grooves down til they were white. I still love that song. I Love Tami Terrell for ever. She was a special talent.. so sexy and beautiful. She and Marvin of course made some real classics. Thank you for this one. Bless.💚🖤💛🔥💥

[@cynthianorman3129]

Tammi Terrell was a great person and she had a very good voice as well I was a big fan of her and Marvin Gaye both of them was a tragic loss and both of them will be missed a lot so keep up the good work man and keep making those videos Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@beaniegee5129]

A story on Special One of the Conscious Daughters would be very interesting

[@ericfreeman1303]

Taraji P Henson would be the perfect actress to play Tammi Terrell Biopic.Taraji look so much like Tammi Terrell too and she's a good actress.

[@sojournerwatkins2964]

And Taraji can sing too.

Good evening, I wanna tell you, that you're good at telling these stories man. you really inspired me to do this to bruh!!! I'm learning how to do my own thing. I really wanna change up my look and work on my own music and KZbin thing. I have so many things I need to get my chest. I love singing, talking and cracking jokes. I love to drive as well. Well I just wanted to say thank you for story and please keep up the good work!

Wow, didn't know she was that young when she passed. That's a shame how people at the hospital stole her personal belongings 😢

[@ResilientBeing1987]

Thank you so much for doing this one 🙏🏾 I love me some Tammy Terrell ❤️

[@nanamelendez]

Appreciate you for sharing her story. This was great!! She a real Philly Legend

[@cathleanjohnson675]

Misty eyes watching this, I was 12 when she passed, I remember it was all over the news, just couldn't believe she was gone when she was just getting started, she and Marvin were magic together, hasn't been a duo like them since, her untimely passing took alot out of Marvin, he was never the same, so sad the abuse she suffer ed and did not deserve, shame on James Brown and David Ruffin, she and Marvin are forever remembered..😢
