Marvin Gaye - I Want You | REACTION

[@laceybko]

A lot of people will argue "What's Going On" is Marvin Gaye's best album. However, his "I Want You" album is pure magic for me.

[@errin5702]

"I Want You" is my favorite album of his. There's nothing else like it.

[@asurasreactionz2554]

You ain’t lying 😩

[@rhondaherbert9282]

Whats going on was a game changer and an indictment on America...first time i heard it brought tears and its relevancy it stil present. This album here is genius as well but not on same level as whats going on...thats a national treasure.

[@MoniqueIsMyMuse]

This is his best album

[@johnwesley6490]

Yessss it is ... its like Lust on Wax

[@joshthayer6728]

the entire album is masterpiece

[@ilanamichelle]

seeing people react to marvin for the first time is something else!!!

I believe Marvin was the first to do this type of vocal layering.

"if you don't love this, you're dead inside" - yes jack you are 1000% correct!

[@krober147]

I want you is fire Marvin is a legend within himself.

[@ktterry6853]

I THANK THE FATHER FOR GIVING MARVINTO US AS A GIFT!!!

[@OrondeBranch]

The fact that Marvin did all those layered vocals you hear in the background is the SHIT. Mr Gaye was truly amazing.....

[@garfield122010]

Marvin is "The Man" my no 1 til the day I die ❤️. " what's going on " " Mercy Mercy Me " " Come get to this " some of his best hits ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffreyharvey9919]

You hit on exactly what made this song so special. At the time, nobody was layering back up vocals the way Marvin was. He used 7 tracks to essentially harmonize with himself - (that's Marvin in every octive). If you ever have 40 minutes to kill, you should really listen to the entire I Want You album on the best headphones or speakers you have access to. As far as reactions, "After the Dance" was the other big single off the album and another masterpiece.

[@LeahKal]

The Soul Master !!!! If you can just turn up Marvin vocals then we can all go to heaven...

[@harvestnoelcrawford7026]

Marvelous Marvin Gaye, NOBODY has ever been able to duplicate his voice ever!!!

[@cdubb203]

Whoever requested this is the GOAT !!!!! RIP Marvin ❤️

[@despinakollas]

Baby boy just subscribe to you because I can tell, you have a good ear musically. He was a songwriter, a musical arranger , played many instruments , and did his own backup vocals . He was the ultimate musician. Please review more of his music, and what a musical career it was. Peace. ✌🏼

[@chancebrown106]

You need to peep his like “at home” version of this track where Marvins slumped on the couch looking like me after a bad weekend lmfaooo

[@donnellwilson3480]

Yes That's Marvin Doing The Background Vocals As Well

[@raineyj560]

Finally!!!!!! Please keep reacting to him. Jack, there's so many. Do "After The Dance"

Ya'll better ask somebody about Marvin Gaye. Dont forget to watch Marvin Gaye on CNN May 9th at 8pm. They are doing 50 years celebrating the song "WHATS GOING ON"

[@amandawade6148]

This was a huge hit!! Marvin Gaye had a lot of hits in the 60’s during the Vietnam War.

[@nkcbrazil]

you have just hit the top of the iceberg. To many great songs to mention! Speaking of his layering of his voices. He was the master!

[@dahna4822]

My dad was always playing Marvin Gaye~ This Song was my Favorite🔥

Those harmonies in the background are phenomenal... my favorite from Marvin. A MASTERPIECE indeed !

You can't help but get lost in this song and Marvin Gaye. He brings out your feelings that you haven't felt from music.

[@rosajackson9003]

Marvin Gaye produce classic and timeless music for the masses and this is why he's GOAT. Let's not ignore the album's cover by Ernie Barnes's famous painting The sugar shack ✨ great reaction to "I want you"

[@tiffanyeyoung1800]

One of his very best songs

[@JerrlEvans]

Marvin was so talented, he was called “The Prince of Motown”

[@jbaugh2851]

Theres a video version of Marvin Gaye effortlessly singing this song in a reclined position on a sofa, while also giving his band sound and tempo directions..flawless.

[@4shys2]

The painting "Sugar Shack" by Ernie Barnes at the intro was featured in TV series Good Times. They bought the painting to life with dancers while Marvin performed "I want you" on the Motown 25th Anniversary Show ! Check it out. Well, check out Motowns 25th Anniversary Show, where Michael Jackson reunited with his brothers ,introduced his glove,white socks and his style of the moonwalk ! You will not be disappointed !

[@lb8471]

And Teena Marie, who was a HUGE Marvin Gaye fan, had a song called, "Sugar Shack", in homage to Marvin. She also had a song named, "My Dear Mr. Gaye," that had elements of Marvin's "Distant Lover".

[@kymb.9867]

Marvin is himself a masterpiece. Ain't No Mountain High Enough, You're All I Need to Get By (both with Tammi Terrell), What's Going On and Sexual Healing are a few key parts of his extensive discography.

[@sabrinaberryh3848]

My fav. I play this on repeat at work many days.

[@kingnaldo4058]

*Marvin* is the real *King* of *R&B* dominating the genre for 25 straight years till his untimely death in 1984.... His song *"Let's get it on"* was the first *Slow Jam* song 🎵 ever. Checkout *Sexual Healing* *'What’s Going On’*

[@tacoque]

A MASTERPIECE on BGV’s!

[@margaretwilliams7658]

"Come Get To This," is his best, to me!!!

[@Mrwillburris]

Ditto! That's a good fast dance song!

[@anthonymoore3403]

Yes it is a classic master piece.

[@jarenbarbour3100]

Nobody with any generation will ever complete with Marvin Gaye. He was unique in his own lane. He's a Top Five Goat of all music genres. The way he layered his voice especially with the background vocals and all that always gives me chills. Especially when you it his voice without the music. Rest in Heaven Mr.Gaye

[@newsing33]

NEED to do "Let's Get It On" and "Sexual Healing" by Marvin..... it's a staple, it's just a must. Marvin Gaye is my Mother's favorite singer, she says when he sings, it comes out so effortlessly and smooth.

[@robind.phillips2129]

That is his voice. I think he laid those tracks first. Anyway, one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

[@jevonk]

This entire song feels like an experience from start to finish. Marvin’s voice is so raw along with the layering of different instruments made it a beautiful masterpiece.

[@MrBrandonLau]

This is a masterclass in vocal layering. The harmonies he sings throughout are all his voice many times stacked. Try to count how many of him are singing. Incredible

[@MrBrandonLau]

Haha literally you said the same thing a few second after I wrote this

[@cflournoy1529]

My mama always said nobody could say “sugar” like Marvin😂Please, please, please take some time and watch “Hitsville, The Making of Motown!!!! There’s a portion that is dedicated to Marvin Gaye and how he layers the instruments and his own vocals. It’s awesome to watch and listen to!!!

I love seeing young people react to old school music. Music today is mostly technology which cannot replicate the passion and emotion that real artists were able to convey to an audience in their music. Marvin was one of the best! Keep listening young folks. Learn your instruments, perfect your craft then add technology.

There was no one like Marvin.

[@afimakalani3676]

You worded it just fine, young brother. "Ethereal" fits Marvin perfectly. He was not of this world.

You hit the nail on the head. He has soul all over his body. From the top of his head to the very of the souls of his feet. This song is just dripping with sexy vibes.

[@jacquelinebell6467]

Too many songs to name but here are some of my favorites: “Let’s Get It On” “Distant Lover” “Sexual Healing” “Whats Going On” “Save The Children.” The list goes on and on. You will know Marvin after these songs. I’ll never forget the day he left the earth. I was just a teenager. The whole world mourned the loss. So untimely when he had so much more to bless the world with. He was a prince and a master at what he did. Simply marvelous!🔥 🙏🏽

[@moondancejackson5081]

I loved Marvin so much. Luckily, I got to see him live (once with Tammi Terrell and two times solo). He was magnificent. My heart broke when on April 1, 1984, the day before his 45th birthday, Gaye was shot dead by his father, Marvin Gay Sr. at their house in West Adams, Los Angeles, after an argument. So tragic!
