Chicago Man Asks If He Can Sing Marvin Gaye

[@Ruffin-mp4fv]

Thank You @guitaro500 You're a gift to the world brother, truly appreciate the experience! @MartellRuffin

[@Gifts-q3z]

Omg cuz I needed this love you and appreciate this young man for doing this ❤

[@valedahwalton6915]

That guitar person is messing him up let the guy that’s singing by hisself he sound better

[@mariewilliamson720]

Awesome!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@adamcrapple6089]

“Just being good, being a good person. That golden rule. It works. You know?”. What a beautiful and true statement. From the bottom of my heart thank you brother. It’s artists and dreamers like you and Reggie that truly make this world a better place. Peace, love and great success in sharing your talent as a fantastic performer with the world!❤🍀

And this song is from 1971. Still as relevant as ever. Especially today.

[@carolmartin4413]

Anyone who sings Marvin Gaye automatically gets 👍in my book...but then I'm a boomer. I grew up with his music. You did him proud, Martell. Keep enjoying life...for yourself and for Marvin Gaye, who missed the chance. BTW..yes..he wrote this song against the war in Vietnam and as protest against police brutality...bloodbaths we keep repeating..sadly. ❤

[@unmalo2768]

And you were doing so well until you went with police brutality, which is a farce and a pure leftist myth!

[@bunnycransics9713]

Motown lives!!!

[@dianeross4522]

I'm a Gen Xer. And Marvin was the sound of my early childhood. I smiled hard through his entire rendition of Marvin. That song let me know as a little girl that the world needed healing. Marvin was my favorite.

[@wanaraz]

Thank god that Police brutality just does not happen anymore like the old days. Now cops are good people. But that was a different time.

[@inmyopinion651]

Same here Carol. Martell seems like a great human being to boot. He's living life and loving it.

[@GrowthnGod]

Martell was such a breath of fresh air. Such a talented gentleman.

[@gwcgwc1]

Martell has great energy. A natural performer.

[@julieemery8963]

Yes i thought he was very good, he had a good voice, sang just like Marvin❤️❤️❤️❤️ well done to Reggie in bringing in the crowds together❤️❤️

[@julieemery8963]

[@benji.B-side]

Martell not only has incredible talent, he has a wise and wonderful soul. Marvin would be proud of him!

[@ItMeJayB]

The thing about dude was, he wasn’t the best singer ever, especially in that high range (no hate, i suck), but dude brought the energy and vibes. He was so immediately part of the energy, so respectful, so understanding of the art and intentions of Reggie. What a dude

[@gcmlrd12]

I think Reggie found his opening skit. Do it. We need the artist to stop the wars.

[@step4798]

Totally agree, he has so much of a better voice than me, but his vibe and personality really shone through, I wish him all the success.

[@OrganicAlumination]

Lol his energy like that good spirited nature and the intent means Alot. Me understanding what he's going for like I feel he did a good job. I also wanted to add a joke and say he can sing high notes to me anytime, insinuating he can find a girl that won't care about how imperfect his singing is.

[@ItMeJayB]

@ Haha for sure, I could tell he’s a smooth gentleman, he’d have no problem singing to the ladies

[@paulahunt3508]

Loved him!

[@therooster6104]

Absolutely nailed it with just a few words, JUST BE A GOOD PERSON 🤝 Tomorrow I’ll be 63 , when I die , just want to be remembered as a good man 👊🕊️

[@michiibelle777]

Happy birthday (belated albeit) hope you had a fabulous day! Martell is the man!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

Martell sounds incredibly wise for such a young person. Manifest joy and pass it on! ❤️🌲🐿️🍄

[@dee_dee_place]

And be true to yourself. It took my Niece 15 years to get work on Broadway & the first musical she was associated with won a Tony Award. Don't give up!

[@bensenzo]

Are you saying young people are not wise?😅

[@gloriaplumb6579]

❤

[@infotime9151]

Im 77 from Chicago and this is my all-time favorite song and still applies today.

[@theliftexpert]

This fella was born to be an entertainer, plays,broadway and the movie industry….. then Hollywood …. I hope he has a wonderful,successful career, chasing his dreams. Great energy.🙏🏻✨

[@gillianjohnson876]

He is a whole vibe! Definitely stage material.

[@millieparker772]

I LOVE How he Brought a Great BIG SMILE ON HER FACE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 BLESSINGS TI YIU YOU REGGIE AND BRAVE SINGER'S

[@frances4797]

Hollywood would only ruin him! 😩😢

[@beatriceclark581]

Maybe not Hollywood 😮what's going on there?? Broadway might be the best ❤❤❤

[@Yoruba4U]

This guy is multi talented....singing 'What's Going on' on point, with it's crazy arrangement is pure talent.

[@deborahking2367]

Hey Reggie, I’m a 75 years young and just want to say you put a BIG smile on my face. That’s saying something with everything that’s going on! Keep it up!

[@ievadzelzs5695]

Me too! Big smiles. So much positivity and light. Thank you Reggie!

[@bicycle697]

Reggie brings people together and models kindness and respect. A rare example in a weary world.

[@rudolphsmith1022]

Praise Jesus Christ! Please read in The Holy Bible John 14:6, John 10:10, Hosea 4:6, Mark 8:36, John 3:16-17, Matthew chapter 24 and Revelation 21:8. HALLELUJAH! God bless.

[@hiyadoing-j3f]

brought HAPPY TEARS to my eyes hearing you sing 'Marvin Gaye' ... I'm a white dude who grew up in the Detroit area in the 1960s ... MOTOWN music is eternal ... Thanks for the memories!

[@PatriciaWohlfarth]

The world would be a better place if more social media was like Guitaro 5000. Thank you Reggie for your incredible talent, generosity and kindness.

[@josetobias8084]

Bro had no time, BUT HE MADE TIME! Sure, the universe made him show up early for his show!

[@elizabethjackson3881]

This young man's future looks so very bright! He's motivated, talented, speaks well, following his dreams, and understands what's happening in the world. May God be with him always on his journey. 😊

[@PoetryHeals66]

Wow!!! Two talented handsome respectful sincere young men. Hope for the future God bless them abundantly !!!!❤

[@tamra8485]

Oh Reggie, your rhythm totally made Marvin smile somewhere! This was beautiful.

[@dee_dee_place]

I grew up with Marvin Gaye. I loved his voice & music. Martell did proper justice with "What's Going On". Thank you guys.

[@robertgoudy3223]

I m a 70 yr. Old white brother. I saw Marvin back in late 60s. Love what you guys have down with this. Moving stuff, my friend ....love your channel.

[@haydenfrench8493]

I’m a grown ass 67yr old man and that ‘What’s Going On’ brought a few drops to my eyes. Much respect.

A song for this moment, for sure. And that guy's pure heart!

[@MarthaKeysberg]

Hey Reggy, I come from the middle in Germany, working in a little town on our farm with children and islandic horses and I love to watch your clips and see all this beautiful nice people all over the world singing with you.!! It brings me so much joy and happiness and a good day! Thank you my dear friend ❤

[@flynnthcalhcs9042]

Hollywood doesn’t deserve him, that dude deserves much much better, a company that doesn’t corrupt or change the person.

[@Mana-with-Heather]

Independent cinema and arts are a thing! And it's ALWAYS better than Hollywood tripe. ❤❤❤

[@divingchicago]

I think he is in New York..

[@MichelleGross]

Wow! That just gave me CHILLS ! FOR REAL!! This song came out in 1972 when I was 9 yrs old. It was relevant then, and it's relevant now ! God bless everyone and "Keep The FAITH!" Hug your children and love one another. Because we never know where this world is headed.

[@permanentlydamagedelectricblan]

outstanding Martell !!! Powerful performance and even more powerful personal message !! Dream on brother !!! thanks Reggie and Crew !!!

Martell blew me away on the first note, he sounded like Marvin😊...

[@MIMI88998899]

Me too! I knew from his first note he had the voice.

[@pampietro8980]

OMG, Marvin Gaye was and always will be my number 1 , ever since I was 6,7 years old, I am now 66 years old. You do the math . R.I.P Marvin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bobjones7274]

You both brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Like that other guy said, "How wonderful life is with you in the world." Thanks.

[@Mufc479]

The best thing I liked a out the guy wasn't his singing, it was his respect, for example taking your glove off to shake a man's hand. That is respect. The world doesn't have many great people in the world that truely know respect but this guy does.

[@russhall4064]

Kindness , ,Respect, A bit too happy. .😜 ❤ 😊

[@tash17kids]

He also acknowledged and thanked every person involved in Reggie's production crew showing appreciation to all individually... Plus gave credit to his friends dancing skills and making time to have lunch together. Earnt my respect, hands down! Already, 3 Stars Aligned🪄

How many people do you know to be able to say, "The world doesn't have many great people." Stop It!!!

[@mistymellowdee6017]

I love Martell's voice! He's SO talented! I saw him in the Opera Champion playing in Chicago last year. He is a FANTASTIC dancer and singer now! Love This❤️

[@Denise11Schultz]

I was so grateful for this song in those long ago days. We needed Marvin to Sing Truth To Power. We still need this song. Thanks, you two.

[@lynnparent5565]

Someone said he doesn't have a good voice he has a great voice and you know what he's on Pitch he has no flats or Sharps he's really good and all he has to do is be coached so he knows how to use his diaphragm and voila he's got it made superb musician you are your tone sounded just like Marvin Gaye and you had exactly the groove and timing you are very good❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gracewygal1423]

Martel Ruffin! You have an awesome voice!!!! Marvin would be proud of you!!! Best wishes to a successful career!!! God Bless!

Two talented young men, as a youth from the 60s and 70s the music reveals how little things have changed. 💔

[@trentgeary8414]

Martell's personality and energy is a vibe. No doubt his character will bring him success.

[@valeriejackson5699]

Someone give Martell a leading role as actor, dancer, singer...this dude has it all!!!!! Plus he was so gracious, and that cannot be learned!!!! 💕

[@kkkkkkk7]

I enjoyed him and his singing because he connected his passion with something higher in himself. He was awesome.

@ years ago I had the opportunity to travel there for two weeks. It was an incredible experience that I will always remember. The people were so friendly and the children were beautiful in person. I arrived in Bangkok and travelled to Esong ( wrong spelling ) I had no ideas just how many different places existed over there. I did enjoy the delicious variety of food. Take care 😊

Wow Martell is a really wonderful guy, and I loved his performance. Must be a wonderful guy to have as a friend. Thanks very much for this, Martell and Reggie!

[@l.riggins1857]

The Marvin Gaye segment was especially on point. The singer has a pleasing voice, and Reggie brought the goods with the guitar and beat accompaniment, as well as the harmonizing. The song does have a lot of range to handle it all well, but it was definitely a good listen. For impromptu music, it was excellent.

[@avrilniles5472]

This young man will be on BROADWAY! He is charismatic, charming, and positive eneryy. Reggie, i love what you are doing. If i ever run into in the city, or anywhere i am singing. And i CAN'T sing. Tone deaf, but I am going to sing. I love you ,Reggie❤🙏🏾Keep up the positive vibes
