Marvin Gaye - Got to give it up

[@sjflipboi]

He made such classic hits, but I can't imagine how many more he would have made had he not been taken away from us so early. Rest in peace Marvin Gaye.

[@issyjas3309]

It’s the thing isn’t it , Lennon, Hendrix , Cooke , redding.. Could go on, what might they have done

[@marysmith2163]

This performance is one of my favorite and the song was one that I enjoyed ...still listening in 2021

[@scammett]

Me too in 2023!!!!

[@marisoldiaz2832]

2024

[@ayndowney9401]

Me too, from the original performance and including today February 2024 until infinity ♾️

[@alghow]

The greatest R&B entertainer ever. Unmatched stage presence.

[@brianofbluemethod]

My man is DOIN' IT in that red jacket!!! Ha haaaaaaaa!! Do it Marvin!!! Makes me wanna write somethin' in this same tempo. Clarence Clemons twin on sax. LOL! Who is that beautiful conga player? Marvin goes to work on his feet at 7 minutes!!! AWESOME!

[@NorthWriter]

I love that everyone on stage looks like they're having the time of their lives! I want to be in a band like that. :)

[@kasponya]

Yes, no kidding! I was living in Zurich at the time and I used to go to Montreux every Summer. This was Marvin's only performance in Switzerland ever and as you can see he killed it! They played all his hits and then some..... That same year (1980) I also saw B.B. King, Van Morrison, The Brecker Brothers., James Brown and many more. For 2 and a half weeks it's just one great concert after another, and often the Performers end up jamming together onstage. The best Music Festival I've ever seen!

[@Ad-gn8pl]

She's really going for it with that Cowbell!

[@lorenzomoore6398]

Sheila E I believe.

[@lorenzomoore6398]

Sheila E I beleive.

[@jimmieleepatterson]

Cocaine is a helluva drug

[@jedie55]

More Cowbell Please!

[@fishcough1]

That's Sandra Lee Akaka (not Shiela E, as many have guessed). Akaka is living in Hawaii and still playing percussion (facebook.com/photo?fbid=10208763761474226&set=a.1585569401983). Although it appears she's also selling skin care products on the side. On her Facebook page, she says that was her "first big gig out."

[@mimmoleonardi8643]

Amazing, absolutely fantastic, great Legend of soul 💪❤️🌹🙏

[@luisparedes5797]

He was holding the 🌎 world.... When MARVIN GAYE passed away the PARTY WAS OVER .. SUCH TALENT AND GREAT MUSIC!

[@earsuljordan9688]

The one and only Marvin Gaye they’ll never be another RIP, my brother ✊🏾✊🏾

[@jln673]

The whole band is tight! And I love the male backing singers just giving it their all! Loving their moves too! Thank the Lord for video footage like this, so everyone can enjoy Marvin's legacy!

[@SkegeeGyrl10]

[@Bobmarley-tp1zv]

Impossible to sit still when you hear this!

[@sablesenegal7488]

First listened to this song in 1977 on the radio then my older brothers' 45" LP I was 11 years old I haven't been able to get it out my mind April 2 would have been marvin's 83rd birthday April 1st is the 28th anniversary of marvin's murder Marvin changed soul music forever with his hypnotic voice he really was my generation's legacy of r&be songs r.i.p. Marvin you're still admired & missed very much!😓🙏

[@NorthWriter]

I love the message of this song, too...learning to shed one's inhibitions and dance because you can't stop yourself from it! So awesome!

[@140hazz]

this is so daaaam funky

[@samuelalix7208]

I'm amazed at the 15 piece set! Impressive! Awesome performance. Thanks for uploading. Sam Alix

[@missuma2]

Marvin Gaye !!!!!!! The background singers, band of this video are absolutely ELECTRIC. Wished I could've been there !!!! Thanks for this. Also this highlighted Marvin's expertise at the art of singing "falsetto"...Gotta shake your booty to this !

[@RemoGaggi]

This is unreal. So great.

[@thatgirlinitaly]

So awesome! Wish I were there. RIP Marvin Gaye.

[@jupiterlove76]

This is just one of those jams that makes you feel good. Real music.

[@deeway1963]

When I was a kid, my Mom would BLAST this song on the stereo! It reminds me of her! Love-Love-Love Mr. Marvin Gaye!

[@ItsMeFawn]

This is soooo classic! I love it! The background singers were jamming! I love Marvin Gaye - he was my mom's favorite is this was her favorite song! Makes me dance anytime i hear it!

[@nicolebutler2860]

AWESOME performance. EVERYONE on the stage is partying. The background singers.....MAAAN!!

[@gwenrobinson7433]

The background singers were stepping!!!

[@Jojoy635]

This is a concert I wish I was alive to seeing him perform live.. This was a show

[@lashunhenderson]

Live music, good lyrics, good entertainment!!!!!!!!! I wish we could get more of this nowadays!

[@luvlyladee08]

awesome voice!!! LUV Marvin Gaye...I am starting to realize that the majority of the great artists and musicians and vocalists have passed on..BUMMER..

[@sofiansofian2017]

Dinguerie mais vraiment une dinguerie un artist e d une classe exceptionnelle heureusement que Marvin a fait partie de ce monde un grand merci pour tous ces émotions quand j écoute Marvin je pleure obliger !!!

[@deannl4371]

Would have loved to be in that audience! What a voice! So much energy and so much fun🥳

[@missuma2]

Marvin Gaye !!!!!!! The background singers, band of this video are absolutely ELECTRIC. Wished I could've been there !!!! Thanks for this.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

Laser voice precision. What a freakin legend

[@poetcrab]

Thank you SO much for posting this video. It is such a treat to watch the beauty of Marvin Gaye live back in the day groovin to such an awesome song. He left us too early

[@rodneyjoseph7381]

This MAN was truly a special talent 💯

[@bbuteo]

What a show, great music.

[@cashawnt125]

This song is my ringtone on my phone. Marvin Gaye is timeless. I remember dancing to this song while I was laboring with my first child...1994! LOL! It was still funky then and is still funky NOW!

[@twendywilliams]

Put this on at a party and no matter the ages, everybody's going to groove, the cow bell and the walking bass is infectious!

[@hendrixfreek]

love this version!!

[@urbanmaxi]

Thanks SOOOO much for this video. Genius and a GREAT talent caught in a moment of time. Besides Marvin, the best part of this are the background singers. Soooooooo slick and right on. Wouldn't expect anything less from those backing Marvin up! Makes me also realize how much Marvin is missed. No one around now is worthy to even wipe his butt!!!!

[@vistalite1972]

Over a million hits!! That's awesome. As far as I'm concern there will never be another Marvin!!!! Classic.

[@uonforuon]

This is the best example of what we don’t have today with today musicians

[@deeway1963]

Aretha Franklin is my most favorite female singer of all time...Marvin Gaye is my most favorite male singer of all time. All Hail The Queen and King of Soul! =)

[@marcosmartinez8088]

I really love them too. Both of them, alongside Little Richard, Mahalia Jackson and Patti Labelle, their voices and music are all about joy, something divine words cant explain.

[@kitty2pat]

Dedicated to my ex-husband, the father of my two children, now sadly deceased, RIP HP,Jr.! The trumpeter, with the green shirt is now trumpter for the incomparable D'Angelo, working also in the horn-section with Roy Hargrove !

[@annyegrassi3548]

My condolences

[@bobwasp825]

Absolutely brilliant ... So funky, what a top groove 👍

[@dskywalker3397]

Greatness!

[@lyric520]

BROTHERS ARE GETTIN IT IN IN THE BACK...THAT'S HOT.....THANK GOD I GREW UP WITH ALL THIS GREAT MUSIC...THANK YOU FOR THE POST...

[@Shepherdblaster]

Wow time warp! This awesome, even though this came out 2 years before I was born, I was raised on Marvin. Seeing videos like this makes me miss the original MTV lol. 80's live on!!

[@DocLacrosse]

this is the coolest live performance of anything!

[@necktieguy1]

What a terrific song. Thanks for this post.

[@gatewaymusic1]

Marvin at his best! Lets remember that. Peace, Bro.

[@drcasey328]

This is great, brings back memories, a legend has come and gone, but his music lives on.... We Miss You Marvin.........

[@Nica-Ra-Wata]

He was one of the few R&B artists in the USA to use CONGAS (Latin Percussion) in his music. Today's artist don't even know what a conga is.

[@nicolebutler2860]

I thought the congas were African.

[@steppielynne]

This was the classic dance song from the late 70's and it still is as far as I'm concerned.If you can dance all the way through,you are really in shape!!!

[@stefdub7331]

Boom....2020 Toujours aussi puissant 💪🙏 bless 🙏

[@dotjon4]

The very best of the best is Mr. Marvin Gaye! RIP Great man! What a performer.......outstanding....sexy as anything can get!

[@Zyntax7]

This is THE song!! This takes me back. This was the kick off song for our summer cookouts that lasted ALL night until the morning. When this song was played the party was about to get CRANKED up!

[@ItsSonya94]

I would love to know who all is still alive from this band, including back up singers. This was such a great ensemble. I've watched this performance soooo many times and it still makes me smile and dance!!

[@Urban2006xx]

Pure class, you aint gonna get music like this today

[@diamondfateful]

MARVIN IN RAW FORM!!

[@yzebergcatzola]

[@LovePH926]

This is one of the best songs ever!

[@jaycoleman89]

That Red Jacket is Killer!!!

[@deloresshephard463]

❤❤ Love You Marvin !!! 9 - 10 - 24

[@kalintini]

Marvin’s music either moved you or made you move ! ( Or Both ) You gotta Love this 70’s song even if you didn’t like Disco “ You’ve Got to Give it up” , for Marvin Gaye for all his great music, and more that he didn’t get to make due to his early death !!! We miss you, We Love you, We remember You !!! We will keep you alive thru your music !!! Never gets old ….p here on July 2021 !!!

[@Lunaimar]

Insuperable. Grande Marvin, no puedo dejar de mover los pies

[@spraginsrosie4441]

Those brass musicians, they sound amazing 🔥!

[@mercedes25fl]

Oh my gosh I just loved this song. Marvin was the man.He could sang about love like no other and get down like this.Totally an amazing talent who is missed everyday. There will never be another Marvin Gaye.Todays music just doesn't cut it. Pure Garbage. Give me the 50s-80s any day. The best music era there was. RIP Marvin you are still the man and your music lives on through all who loves you. Jam on brother.

[@sefthechef]

I love Marvin's music, it makes me think of my dad who used to always play it when I was a kid. That band is bad for real!!!

[@martinevans123]

Glad the mixing desk eventually realised that David Majal was trying to deliver a sax solo (or just about to finish, anyway) the rhythm guitars and horns get a better deal. Sandra Akaka can sure hit those congas. Could have just gone on for another 8 and half minutes I guess...thanks for posting.

[@scammett]

I'm impressed that you know Sandra Akaka!!!!!!

[@deloresshephard463]

Love It Get Down !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 9- 8- 24

[@teresakowalczyk2359]

I've loved old school; funky music my entire life, and my opion... was the best kind if music. Jam on people , stay safe and have a blessed evening. Sept. 25th. 2020

[@Irisbaby1]

This is incredible...Marvin Gaye is the KING!

[@sakeenahm]

[@avaboot]

Can’t stop playing this.

[@hepette]

omg there was NO ONE like marvin for pure d talent and creativity!!!!!!!!!!!! he went way too soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1964happygolucky]

hey supermario... you got it..saw local band... picture perfect. horns, bongos, drums, bass, etc... excellent.. junkie for multi piece bands

[@claesq44]

I think the name of the song is "Time". It is from the "Here, My Dear" album (1978). The entire album is about his marriage to Anna Gordy, their breakup and his new love... Truly compelling listening.

[@SometimeAngel]

Back in the late 70's, I worked the 3-11 shift at the factory. We'd head to the bar and play pinball for beers. When this song came on....I was in the GROOVE!! Rackin up the extra balls....I LOVE this song!! RIP Marvin!

[@angeltenorio]

really??? i was looking for it too, and finally tonite i found it. it´s been smashing my head since i saw the movie so many years ago

[@laraoneal7284]
