SO MUCH CHEMISTRY!!! MARVIN GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL - YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE (REACTION)

[@todddixon6347]

Tammy had such a pure voice! They were a great pairing. Sadly, cancer robbed the world of the superstar she would have become.

[@maskedavenger2578]

Never mind become ,she was a superstar .

[@Minecraft-bt6dm]

It was said they were but they were really good friends before she passed.

[@324cmac]

Tammi Terrell died from complications due to a brain tumor.

[@donaldshaffer9275]

She actually died of a brain aneurysm. She collapsed on stage and he carried her off the stage

[@dorianharris4910]

She actually died from brain cancer.

[@paulamusicnme5234]

Marvin never hid anything about his life and he said they were very close but never lovers. But of all the duets he did, the ones with Tammi were the best. *If This World Were Mine *You’re All I Need To Get By *Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing and so many more

[@robertdaniels3029]

Mavin was madly in love with Tammi but he also had a darker side he was hiding so he was heart broken when she died because he never got the chance to really express himself to her. Dammm, that's FU.

[@324cmac]

Many people say they actually were lovers but had to hide it. Tammi's 'darker side' was no worse that Marvin's. Tammi was beaten terribly by James Brown and David Ruffin. She has reasons to have problems.

[@SuzanneJohnson-gz8kl]

I dont believe they had nothing but a platonic friendship but they cares for each other deeply...Marvin was never the name after her untimely death...So sad...

[@tyehodge4075]

Marvin is in my top 5 greatest singers all time….. Tammy was great and had a marvelous voice gone to early….. Rest In Power to both legends

[@angelagoodwin5758]

R&B needs to come back to this. Music that honor healthy relationships instead of focusing on negativity. I don't think Marvin and Tammi were an actual couple, but they could convince you they were.

[@Shasha-yg1mm]

They were emotionally involved only. He was married and his wife refused to give him a divorce.

[@JohnSteffens-x8k]

Loved Marvin and Tammi since the 60s!

One of the greatest duos of all time. Magic!

You know what? I luuuuuh y'all. From an elder who grew up on this real muzic...

[@dagmar.6954]

Marvin Gaye was part of early Motown in the 1960's. He had a lot of great duets with Tammi Terrell such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing", "You're All I Need To Get By", "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" etc. Sadly Tammi died young in 1970 at the age of only 24. Marvin never got over her death.

[@forwardpeace]

Another great one by these two is "Aint Nothin Like the Real Thing." If you haven't already, give it a listen.

[@kurtadams3021]

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Nick Ashford and Valarie Simpson

[@gabriellekeppler9327]

Yep! RIP Nick, Marvin, and Tammi!

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

The greatest Duo in history imo.

[@robincochran7369]

Talk about having a special chemistry. Goosebumps! No, they were not a couple from what I heard but, you could see they were genuinely fond of each other.

[@minelliradney9132]

She died so young. People thought when she passed out on stage that she did drugs. She had a brain tumor. Bad headaches. The doctors did not tell her she was dying. They thought she would give up on life. She was older than Marvin....just a few years.Not much. It was only a crush,- she was like a big sister only..to him James Brown discovered her. David Ruffin beat her- Tammy- Tammie Marvin got mad !!!!! He was truly ready...u.know,? Marvin valued her.

[@paulamusicnme5234]

One thing, Tammi wasn’t older than Marvin. She was only 24 when she died, he was 31 at that time.

[@unclaimedtreasure352]

James Brown also abused her.

[@javarispenick9047]

Marvin and Tammi was the best duo of all time

[@loriparks8805]

The perfect music 🎶 Duo ! Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell . Tammy passed away at a early age and Marvin Gaye took her death very hard . But their music will live on forever together ❤❤

[@sylviacollins652]

Hi babies!! Here's another BANGER for you two love birds...Isaac Hayes' "I STAND ACCUSED"! It's a bit long(11:40) but guaranteed you will LOVE IT!! ENJOY! ***WARNING SHOT***🥰

[@paulamusicnme5234]

Yes! It had to be the long version because his “rap” is what makes his version of the song special.

[@cuttnhorse2013]

I’m a white man, and loved Marvin back in the 60’s 70’s. Not to forget Al Green! But what I wanted to say is Marvin was so in love with Tammi! Also, so many huge groups from Motown! So many to say in this short note. Go back and just look at all the Motown groups, and individuals! To bad , that music want come back!❤

[@helgar791]

These two, Tammi and Marvin were not lovers, but they were indeed very close friends. In truth in 1970 when Tammi died at the ripe young age of 24 Marvin was never quite the same. Although at the time they made these songs Marvin was married, it seems that his love for Tammi was everlasting.

[@serafyo]

Marvin was married to Berry Gordy's sister when this song was recorded

[@helgar791]

Marvin and Tammy are magic together. Thank you for not only reacting to the music but the awesome lyrics. Check out Marvin and Kim Weston too!

[@tonyrussi7777]

Marvin had prior duet success with Mary Wells(2 hits), before she left Motown, Kim Weston(1 hit) & then Tammi, several hits including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" and "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing".Unfortunately Tammi got a brain tumor & passed away in like 1970. NO they were NOT a romantic couple. Marvin was married to Anna Gordy Gaye.Berry Gordys sister.

This is when I fell in love with Marvin, he was singing with Tammy & they truly had magic together.

Y’all have to tap into Marvin & Tammi’s duets. They did a lot of songs together and all were amazing!! Ain’t no mountain high enough, If I could build my world around you, If this world were mine, dig into Marvin’s duets you won’t be disappointed ! Love❤

[@JohnSteffens-x8k]

Motown at its finest!

[@robertmarsh2291]

Most of their duets were written and arranged by married couple Nicholas Ashford & Valerie Simpson. Marvin and Tammi weren't in a relationship. Most times they were never in the studio together. Their vocal tracks were recorded separately and later mixed by the engineer. Same with Him and Kim Weston and Diana Ross. You should look up all the songs Ashford & Simpson wrote for so many artist inside AND outside Motown. Take a listen to another A&S song involving Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross titled "Just Say, Just Say".

[@terribanks8633]

Though Nick and Val weren't married (or in a relationship) at the time these songs were written. Little known fact, Val wrote the music and Nick wrote the lyrics. Yes, even I'm Every Woman.

[@Dabridge4009]

Pure unmatched classic......

Marvin never got over her death, he really loved this women deeply. They were really good friends. By the way this is one of the many songs that the husband and wife writing team Ashford and Simpson wrote for them.

Marvin Gaye alway's had beautiful music.

[@gyost8147]

Tammi Terrell had dated James Brown and David Ruffin (both relations had problems...you can read about them). She was engaged to be married when she became ill/died. Marvin Gaye married Berry Gordy's sister Anna in 1963. Tammi Terrell had a great voice and her songs (with and without Marvin Gaye were so good...)

[@gyost8147]

The song was written by Ashford and Simpson who were married and would later release their own records.

[@ellisisland1374]

Classic soul music!❤ Legendary Marvin and Tammi. RIP

[@darinmetzger9346]

Yo yo yo. Marvin and Tammi: you can’t go wrong👍👍🙏

Marvin sang songs with several Motown ladies. Mary Wells was another Motown lady he made a record with.

[@MzBettyK]

I’m enchanted with the two of you because you show real love and affection for each other. I’ve followed you for a few weeks on KZbin using my Roku, but realized that I had used my iPhone to subscribe. Rediscovering this beautiful music I always listen to still through your reactions is a blessing to this grandma/great grandma. Thank you for this amazing reaction. It’s one awesome piece of music. ❤

[@romienomie]

My favorite duo ever!

[@victorsixtythree]

The chemistry!! Marvin and Tammi may not have been involved romantically (although they were very close) but the song was written by the legendary husband and wife team of Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. While at Motown they also wrote songs including Ain't No Mountain High Enough, You're All I Need to Get By, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing and Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand). Ashford and Simpson also performed some of their own songs and had the hit "Solid" in the 80's.

[@davidjackson8659]

Good morning to both of you to God be the glory I hope that you have a blessed and beautiful day Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye we're not in a relationship Marvin Gaye treated Tammi Terrell like his big sister

[@melissaward6311]

Well its Marvin and Tammi All you need to say. Loved growing up as these wonderful songs first came out. A magical time. They were wonderful. She passed at such a young age. No they said they were only good friends but who knows,though Marvin had a real bad time after she passed,ive read. Great pick!

I recommend “Ain’t no mountain high enough “ and “Ain’t nothing like the real thing “

[@deniselogan2733]

Baby-making music! 💞

[@JohnSteffens-x8k]

Marvin adored Tammi but she was in love with another man. Listen to anything they did and you will love it! I'm old enough that I have enjoyed their music for over 50 years!

Hi Shawn and Mel. YESSSS I grew up on this good stuff right here!!❤️❤️❤️

[@stuartsoll3254]

Back in the 60s in Detroit we had CKLW on AM radio. Now my dad was from the WWIi generation. He would make fun of our music, calling it hippy music. But, when a Motown song would come on, dad would turn it up. I remember riding in the car when this song came on. Dad turned it up and lit a smoke. That's when you know he was loving that tune.

No, they never had a romantic relationship, they did care for one another, when she died Marvin Gaye fell apart, He said later in a interview, that when she died a part of him went with her. He took some time off after her death performing.

Have been enjoying your reactions and just subscribed, although I almost didn't when I saw your NY hat, lol. Need to get your Oriole hat back on, especially the way things are going for them presently. I have been an Oriole fan since I was a kid in the 1960's and it's so nice to have something to cheer about after years of misery. I live 50 miles north of Baltimore in the York, Pa area and I think I heard you mention you are from the Baltimore area. Hope you are supporting the team and, yea, get that hat back on.
