Oh, and as the case with most Marvin Gaye's songs, all the voices are him.

[@gregorygroover3993]

That's Marvin doing all the voices he was known as the Prince of Motown

[@CactusKiddoo]

As with many great voices, they overlaid their own tracks. Harry Nilsson was another amazing voice who overdubbed. You want to hear Angelic, listen to "Without You". brings goosebumps! Nilsson's vocal range was amazing.

[@CarolLee-mq8er]

Marvin is singing. And his back up does the rest. He’s the only lead singer.

[@joanmonaghan8428]

I've always loved Marvin Gaye. He had a great voice.

[@Trish-ql9kz]

The best!

[@lynnshulman]

Love to see your reacto to this awesome R&B singer. You can react to anything he does!!

[@infinitecontent8001]

The level of joy on his face says it all...

[@ToniMcGinty]

Tragically, just after making his comeback album "Midnight Love", recorded after drug problems, Marvin was shot dead by his father, a minister, on April 1st 1984, the day before his 45th birthday.

[@talltulip]

Recommend "What's Goin' On" first, the "Heard It Through the Grapevine" next. After that: Mercy Mercy Me, and Sexual Healing.

[@garybradford8332]

This song is great but my favorite is still "What's Going On". "Sexual Healing" is also another hit he had. Marvin was taken too soon. He died at 44 after his father shot him twice during an altercation.

[@hippiechic723]

I was grooving right along with you! Marvin is a genius. He was shot and killed by his father and his father was a preacher😱

[@noggie3934]

You should tell the whole story. Marvin was hopped up on drugs demanding money to buy more. He was physical.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

I’ve never heard anyone ask that question about who is singing lead 😀

[@CheysMama15]

Got to Give It Up is a party starter for the ages!!!

[@KayBolinger-ec2vw]

Pure soul! ❤

[@sfurlong0712]

Talented, smart, handsome. Im a Detrioter and we had nothing but the best. Smokey Bill Robinson 90 years old. Our classic, classic

[@decafjnr]

Detroiter too! Smokey is my all time fav.

[@cynthiamcdaniel2474]

On April Fool's Day, Marvin is shot and killed by his father. KDAY the radio station confirmed his death. I have never forgotten this day. Location Arlington off Washington in LA. at the family home, which is now a museum.

[@shironjackson60]

It’s only one man singing and that’s Marvin

[@hippiechic723]

My fav song by Marvin is “Inner City Blues” 💔💔. It’s a very sad, emotional song ✌️✌️✌️

[@ToniMcGinty]

1:14 - FUTURE GIF ALERT!

[@maritamcnichol8849]

If this song can't get you a little "something/something"..... You're with the wrong person. Great song. Oh, and it's just Marvin singing.

[@bethking7348]

RIP Marvin ❤❤

[@2GunRock]

I WANT YOU ... of all Marvin's classics, including "What's Goin' On", IMO it's his best song.

[@bwractive]

This is a very good choice for an intimate moment, another good pick would be "Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - Je t'aime... moi non plus"

[@robinbeerman4726]

He is one of the. Est r^ b singers.

[@marie-christinescutt7888]

Gosh I love marvin and this song woaw top class

[@MrChris1978moleman]

I say "What's crackalackin" 😂😂😂 My kids laugh at me 😂

[@carolyncrosby3449]

It's all Marvin

[@leeannies-tears369]

Love this song lots! Didn't know anything about Ed suit?

[@pilesovinyl]

You must check out Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology). It was I believe his very best.

[@ian8241]

A Motown Icon, I hear it through the Grapevine and Sexual Healing are also classic songs by Marvin Gaye.

[@SPTO]

As others have said all the voices are Marvin. In the '70s to his death Marvin pushed the boundaries of audio dubbing and looping. I daresay if Marvin was in his prime in this day and age he'd be using all the tools at his disposal though I doubt he'd touch autotune. He might use it to clean up some imperfections but that's it. He was known as the Prince of Motown and then posthumously the Prince of Soul. "Let's Get It On" is one of his signature songs. As for the lawsuit, yeah, that was a bit much. His family/estate is very protective of his legacy and will get on you like a pit bull. I will say they were correct to go after Robin Thicke/Pharrell with "blurred lines" as that was definitely a rip off of "Got to Give It Up". Marvin had a very wide vocal range from being silky smooth to having a ton of grit to it and he knew how to blend his tones in his music very well. He was more of a mid-tempo singer but could speed it up from time to time. His style was very heavily influenced by jazz and doo wop styled music but he dabbled in some funk and his last work was influenced by reggae, new wave and synth pop. Even his last recordings ("sanctified lady" and "masochistic beauty") were in tune with the musical landscape at the time even though his voice had become a bit deteriorated and rougher due to drugs & extreme paranoia. Sadly Marvin was taken from us on April 1st 1984 as he was shot and killed by his father after an argument. Many people today view it as a suicide by proxy. (sorry for the long comment)

[@teresajackson5496]

I'm still wondering about the mayo jar???

[@gsu4life]

marvin gaye doubled his vocals. he sang both part separate and put them together.

[@JohnA-bear]

Hands down this was my favorite song to dance to with a sexy female in the club, back in the day.

[@patclinker6587]

I always thought this song was about sex. In reality, it's about overcoming addiction and getting on "with the business of life". And isn't it sad that Marvin's own dad shot and killed him in 1984 because of an argument.

[@joypagni3088]

No, it's about sex. Let your love come down, if you believe in love let's get it on.

[@pamstuckey8349]

You need to also listen to What's Going On" and Sexual Healing. So sad we lost him too soon RIP Marvin

[@infinitecontent8001]

Michael react to Keep Getting It On

[@bradmac4985]

Have you done any reactions to Paul Carrack? I like “Don’t Shed A Tear”.

[@marie-christinescutt7888]

All the voices are his

[@thetruth7130]
