[@ginajaffa5801]

This endless time..song should be being played Daily right now going forward forever true depth of humanity really should stop everything they are doing and embrace these words and live in peace and love..forever.❤

[@kimberleyerickson4094]

I saw him multiple times in the 70s & his songs were all about his wife & how much he LOVED HER! Never saw anything like it! Ever! ♥️

[@zdrumdude]

Was his wife Juli……from the song for juli? I’m thinking yea

[@robnero52]

I was blessed to be able to see him too several times live. Memories, a lot of great concerts I've seen live. Too expensive now. I feel sorry for the kids of this generation.

[@karenreardon5398]

He was so great and so handsome!🤗😘

[@blissfulbaboon]

Wow,this is still just as wonderful as the day it was born into this plain.Put brilliant Marvin Gaye compositions together with the beautiful,, soft, rich, warm,emotional tone of Jesse Colin Young and we have major, classic, timeless magic!!!

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

A beautiful rendition of 2 GREAT Marvin Gaye tunes. So sad that 50 years later, we are still asking this same question. Some things change, some just say the same....

[@mikemcgrath3484]

Yep

[@michaelmorris2243]

We must make War- EXTINCT!! All we need is a lot of LOVE. ✌💑👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐕🐈🌍🎵☮

[@lastnamefirst4035]

50+ years...god im old

[@jbee2295]

Ditto

[@garymiller95]

And in 2022 still. Too many unloved children growing up to be damaged adults.

[@spiritbeckonyou]

I have always and will forever love Jesse Colin Young's music!!

[@karenreardon5398]

My Lord, Jesse's voice is so gorgeous. Could listen all day ..❤.

[@cooljazzr]

Great version. Wonderful, soulful sax by underrated, virtually unknown Jim Rothermel.

[@robnero52]

I agree with you. Soulful tune, that Saxophone, Jesse Colin Young one of the best! Was fortunate & blessed was able to see him live several times. I'd go again today if he were playing in the Reno, NV. USA area.

[@keykiyox]

One of the most soothing and persuasive cover of Marvin's two great songs. I have this album in vinyl only, and will keep it with my turntable, hoping my 6 years old son would appreciate it. There are some 2000 such vinyls, but this one is special.

[@maryvaughn7886]

Bless you for being caretaker of the unbeatable music from "hot wax".

[@cheriesouthern1122]

The sounds of Marvin Gaye are filled with great emotion. Jesse Colin Young did quite well in fulfilling these unique sounds. Love Jesse and Love Marvin as well. Great Artists.

[@diannans4271]

I can't even explain how his version of these songs has moved me .

[@howardkoor2796]

Dianna N S yes!!

[@Ratchelberg]

jesse is an angel and always will be

[@janeripley8625]

On the road album..the greatest!!! Still have the vinyl in my collection.he definitely was under rated

[@timhuffman5311]

I had the chance to hear Jesse play in a small venue in Denver about a month ago. He dosent hit the high notes like he used to but he still sounds great. He has his son playing with him these days on bass. Great show.

[@nancyswann9954]

Time for my daily FIX of Jesse Colin Young's music...💖

[@TheLivingroomSinger]

Magical voice, super original artist, one of the very best ever to grace the stage.

[@marktuttle5035]

Lucky to see this live. My favorite was Tim Hardins Misty Roses

[@mikemcgrath3484]

Yep

[@doloressimpson7456]

My sentiments exactly !

[@97401pboyce]

I had to listen to this and to Marvin's version here on this 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s asasination. Will we ever learn love and tolerance of others? I love everybody! And there is nothing that you can do about it!!!

[@philhanlon4339]

Amen brother!

[@mikemcgrath3484]

Yep no buddhehood yet

[@debbiepowers4743]

It’s all about love Paul, someday everyone will know. Don’t despair.

[@1grilleman379]

So many renditions of this Great Tune. Rodney King said it Best. Why can't we all get along. It seems to me that more energy is wasted on hate, we are all brothers and sisters. All lives matter. Love and Peace to everyone 💕 ❤ 💛 💓 ✨ 💖 💕 ❤ 💛 💓 ✨

[@dennisrobbins7857]

JCY and Kenny Rankin .... 2 amazing voices

[@newmillenniumbeatnik]

Fantastic version, what a voice. Words are still valid today.

[@PenelopeVW21]

One of my favorite versions of this great tune.....thanks!

[@ishmaelhuggins1388]

Great voice from an artist that I believe is way underrated.

[@veribull]

Wonderful ! Voice of an Angel !

[@maggiethecat1538]

Yes!

[@4evergreene]

Someone said that Jesse is an angel. Amen to that.

[@xavlenav9319]

Wish there existed a CD of this concert. Just beautifully serene...

[@billysings]

Oh my! It's hard to believe I let this slide from my mind. Sometimes finding a rich memory is a miracle. Thanks for posting.

[@carinduncan7594]

Heard this on a late night college station

[@rogermacauley806]

Damn right! He was a total trip!!! And yes "what's going on?"

[@dorothyscarth2930]

Have only just discovered this cover version - beautiful, thank you for posting

[@davidcoate1366]

Jesse nails it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RPMac]

Saw the Youngbloods in the Fillmore East in the late sixties....it was fantastic !

[@StephanieJeannot]

Wow! What a voice. Awesome.

[@vitoa.terenzio7190]

I have heard many different versions, but this one tops them all. Bravo!

[@aliciomartinho3677]

Great rendition, Mr. Jesse! Bravo!

[@motnosniv]

This is so nice. Gave me the good feeling

[@stephenthomas1594]

Great backup !! Who's seeing what's going on ? What you doing ?. Mercy mercy mother earth .

[@alanchomor701]

such a talented artist, saw him at Cleveland Ohio concert 90,000 people opening for CSN & SANTANA wow 1971.

[@davidthieda6046]

I was at the same concert drove from Detroit enjoyed it very much I want to say it was drizzling and when Jesse came out the sun came out if I remember correctly well either way God bless

[@traceydarcy6528]

Is wow enough?? Never heard of this guy ... but liking very much, all limbs moving

[@sinbadandsalty3908]

Don't know or care what color he is but love his voice and style.

[@lauraleecarter8]

War is not the answer. Only love can conquer hate...

[@wallycherry]

Just Outstanding

[@bumblebeebattv]

Straight OUT beautiful!! Love it! :)

[@liammcgovern5243]

Lucky to catch Jessie in concert back then thought he was great then still do..

[@bigalinwesttexas]

That's Jim Rothermel on sax. He takes it from soft vocal back round fills to a screaming Cadillac driving centerpiece solo and then back to a soft backing of the vocals. Last I heard he's still living and playing in the San Francisco area. The whole album is full of his beautiful work on flute , sax and clarinet.

[@RaxOldies]

Passed away May 2011.

[@johncreach6217]

What album is this?

[@RaxOldies]

"On The Road"

[@howardkoor2796]

bigalinwesttexas he knocks it out!

[@ethniet.wildwood2500]

bigalinwesttexas great I'm coming to San Francisco for a month will check it out... thanks I love his sax playing too 👍

[@stephenhanka5358]

Forgot about Jesse for about 30 years...good to connect again....

[@ericrenault1184]

J’avais acheté cet album aux puces de Clignancourt à Paris. Un vrai bonheur et il m’a accompagné dé nombreuses soirées. Un petit pincement au cœur.

[@lilredscout]

JCY just gorgeous.

[@deborahcrain303]

beautiful

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

Love his voice 🎇❤️

[@davesuiter]

If you just had to have a white boy singing Marvin's songs, it has to be Jesse. He's got the perfect voice.

[@williamrodmanlakes4403]

Todd Rundgren was another white boy that did this song very well, maybe even better than Jesse

[@jeffhammers8184]

If you felt like a million and were litterally on top of the world in 1969 you were watching the Youngbloods live outdoors somewhere. Seattle Pop festival. August 69 SHIT!

[@normgriffin1849]

The loong version of Ridgetop is another great song of his.

[@lakehousefor2]

Love it!

[@dyinbreedband]

two bad ass songs....

[@bobdudeaz]

SMOOTH......always!!

[@maryvaughn7886]

Took some nerve to do some Marvin especially for a white guy but really like it. Happy Birthday Jesse Colin Young May you be forever young. You got me thru some good times & bad times.

[@joeerba4153]

White, black, blue, green, yellow, red...what's the difference...?...his own unique sound does Marvin proud, I'm sure....

[@rosamirabecerra5519]

No lo conocía, canta hermoso, qué bonitas canciones, hermosa música, estoy oyendola en el 25 08 2021, aunque no entiendo el inglés..👍🏻💕

[@debbiepowers4743]

Good old Jesse Colin Young. My college roommate, Lori Kaplan turned me on to him 45 years ago, and I’ve been in love ever since

I don’t know who this singer was but he totally destroyed the song ! He WAS NOT Marvin Gaye ! Marvin could sing ! This guy here is AWFUL ! 👎👎👎👎👎😡😡😡😡😡

[@scotsman6712]

Haha.i respect your opinion,in an abstract,cartoon like fashion.

[@tenmiltenmil1770]

@@scotsman6712 Dear Scotsman , if this wannabe singer had been any good he wouldn’t sound like a baa baa sheep PLUS he wouldn’t have had to copy someone else’s song ! So take that and put it in your cartoon mentality crippled mind ! 😡😡😡🤣🤣🤣

[@MaxYordan]

Are you nuts or are you one???

[@tenmiltenmil1770]

@@MaxYordan Monday September 18th 2023 2:13pm . Marvin Gaye was a black man who wrote loves songs ! He was magnificent ! Yet he was torn between of the violations on the black peoples civil rights in the 1960s ! It wasn’t until 1971 that he could finally bring this chaos into a song be and allowed to have the album sold ! Marvin Gaye sang this song with his entire heart and soul ! His vocals were amazing ! Now you take this white man wannabe Marvin Gaye and he is tone deaf ! He sounds like a sheep ! There is no feeling in his voice of suffering havoc chaos destruction and sadness ! This man couldn’t understand what Marvin Gaye felt when he wrote this song and that’s why he sounds so horrible singing it ! Why couldn’t this white man come up with his OWN songs ? Why copy someone else’s song ? When you listen to MG it brings tears to your eyes and you understand the pain and suffering of those years ! When this guy sings this song , it only brings pain to the EARS ! He’s tone deaf ! You are too ! Millions of people are tone deaf ! That’s why so many nasty tasteless rap songs have been created and sold ! One of the worst things on this planet is using someone’s else’s song and completely destroying it ! I’m sure Simon Cowell would agree with me ! PEACE ☮️

so handsome. beautiful song
