The isolated vocals on “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” prove Marvin Gaye was in a league of his own.
@SVG__Collection HIGHLY recommend viewing the Showtime documentary 'Hitsville USA' - over - and over. These artists cannot be fully appreciated until one understands the methods and machine that made them icons. Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy were incredible at this: youtu.be/C_tp1wsRUBY
@SVG__Collection Agree, he is my favorite male vocalist along with George Michael. Marvin could go baritone, tenor, and falsetto in the same song with ease like in "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby."
@SVG__Collection His rendition of the Star Spangled banner with sunglasses on inside the stadium at an All Star game never fails to have my jaw on the floor. The guy just has swagger like no one else.
@SVG__Collection The man is a legend for a reason! And in the rarified atmosphere of brilliant Motown artists he was a member of, Marvin Gaye stood alone!
@SVG__Collection When a human voice is an actual instrument: exhibit 1
@SVG__Collection The first time I hear this I had an out of body experience.
@SVG__Collection You want to start an argument? Meet party ask the crowd who was the king of soul, Otis, Marvin or Sam.
@SVG__Collection Pure. Clean. Sweet as honey. The emotion in that voice. Like nectar for the ears.
@SVG__Collection I once had a cut of his performing Nature Boy, he gives Nat a run
@SVG__Collection Do "Distant Lover" next!!! ‼️🙌🏾🙏🏾
@SVG__Collection One of my favorites. God rest him. Gone too soon.
@SVG__Collection You could set your clock to the groove he lays down
@SVG__Collection No one, other than the Late & Great Marvin Gaye!
@SVG__Collection @NGorhamA4S4 Man that sounds good
@SVG__Collection To your point, yes, he’s a great singer. Not isolating the studio like that gives a weird effect. Like he’s alone in the world singing to nobody.
@SVG__Collection Yes, he was . The vocal ability was extraordinary!
@SVG__Collection This video never get's old. Just amazing.
@SVG__Collection Love Marvin’s voice!
@SVG__Collection @TelvinGriffin This here is unbelievable, I miss this man. What a talent!
