I always knew Marvin was in a class by himself. I just didn't know that class was in a school that was in a city that was in a country and he was STILL by himself.
@@ladamjohnson oh yeah! This was awesome! Marvin was sangin!! Mike voice was just BEAUTIFUL! I don't think they'll ever be a song sang better than Whitneys....and not one written better than Indie Arie's "Ready For Love". But Mike is #2 and Luthor and Marvin hold 3 and 4.....but that will change from time to time. Lol!
@@Kevinschart I agree with you it is... but it's decades old, it doesn't have all the modern days filters, mixing and dubbing singers have these days, you can still hear how raw his voice is. Still pretty amazing!
@Dale Hobson please don't misunderstand me. Marvin is my favorite singer of all time. They are playing the vocal track to the the actual song. He sang it beautifully. there were plenty of recording tricks in the 70s. not a knock to marvin but there were punch ins and dubs back then as well.
He was singing gospel since he was 4. He knew how good he was that's why he could do it. He was also a pianist. Most gospel singers know their ability because they sing acapella during practice not always with an instrument accompanying their vocals. They sing from the soul.
Beautiful thinkin. 👍🤝 .. the man just Sang. Because, when it comes down to it. For him, i'd imagine there was a stage around Every corner drewling for him. But! Even Gods Have to leave a Business-Card.
It's difficult to top Marvin's vocal abilities--not only his gift for singing, but also the raw emotion he put behind the words. Other Motown artists recorded it before him, but he put his stamp on this song. A true classic.
There's a note that's about 20 cents sharp, lol. Perfect isn't perfect, humans make mistakes, but that's why this is so impressive, with no technology to make it sound stale, it sounds legit.
So true. How does anger rise to a father shooting his own son. Dont know the whole sstory, but how tragic. That's a bucket full of regret. This song was my favorite 45💜💜💜💜💜
He once stated that that he always heard music playing in his head. Probably why he could write, harmonize with himself, and play the background music without being able to read or write musical notes.😮
@@filipejunio3671 I can't even explain why I'm crying listening to this? I grew up on a steady diet of Marvin Gaye as a child growing up in the 70's Therefore I shouldn't have been shocked or caught off guard by his vocals. YAHUAH blessed this man with a wonderful voice. Thank you YAH for lending him to us for a while. And YAH have mercy on his soul. The late Marvin Gaye HALLELUYAH
No matter if this version or the studio version, it doesn't change the fact that this man had (and still has) one of the most powerful and soulful voices in music history.
Either someone managed to go to the considerable effort to isolate Marvin's vocal track from the rest of the mix in the original recording, or someone was able to find the original multi-track tapes and get his vocals clean from the source. Either way, an amazing way to hear a true craftsman of his art.
+محمد الهاشمي Quite obviously the original vocal track; not even the best engineers can isolate a voice so perfectly from a full recording (although the newest version of Melodyne comes to mind).
It's reasonably simple to get a good isolation of an acapella vocal. You can use the original track with an instrumental and phase them together on a separate track. Finding the sweet spot will eliminate the music. Not always perfectly depends on the users quality. But it's possible.
Being new to this and amazed, I wonder too if the tracks are reverse-engineered (but I guess it would be hard to obtain such a quality) or if someone got the studio acapella. Great tracks to discover. This is the 3rd I found. At the splice platform there is bohemian rhapsody.
That was so intense , it nearly made me cry . His voice is bursting with emotion , he can really transfer that feeling of torment to the listener. Best isolated track I've ever heard. RIP
yeah + you couldn't tell me I wasn't a cool ass mother effer and now I see what cool really is and Marvin probably rolled outta bed + oozes that smooth coolness without even trying. that's why them women lost themselves when dude was around. even had ole Diana Ross in love with him + sister loved MGaye
When I was about 12 my teacher gave all of his pupils nicknames so he could remember their names easier. All the kids laughed at me for having Marvin Gaye as mine, only a few realised that I was given the name of a legend.
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew 'Bout your plans to make me blue With some other guy you knew before Between the two of us guys You know I loved you more It took me by surprise I must say When I found out yesterday Don'tcha know that I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Oh, I heard it through the grapevine Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, yeah (I heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be mine baby, ooh) I know a man ain't supposed to cry But these tears I can't hold inside Losin' you would end my life you see 'Cause you mean that much to me You could have told me yourself That you loved someone else Instead I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Oh, I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, yeah (I heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be mine, baby, ooh) People say, "Believe half of what you see Son, and none of what you hear" But I can't help but be confused If it's true please tell me dear Do you plan to let me go For the other guy you loved before?

Jesus!!!!!😲 Although hes taping to keep time its obvious hes hearing the entire musical accompaniment in his head just like it was playing right behind him... Full caps talent right there - nothing touches that in the here and now. I am so full of admiration and its so uplifting on its own.
I’ll never forget when I heard Marvin Gaye passed away. I thought it was an April fools joke, like man other folks ; I didn’t want to believe that he was gone and at the time of his death I was 14 years old I listen to Marvin Gaye to this day His CD is in my radio in the car❤
The industry is focused on where the money is and it is still on rap. Hopefully, someonebody will start writing quality music the young people will want to hear and soul music will be back.
That song was released at the end of the 60's (back before auto tune, when a capella was common) and people are just now discovering how amazing he was...? My favorite song from the #1 Motown legend.

No mainstream male singer today can touch this.

Facts.
Autotune has killed popular music.
You are correct.
Willie Spencer.. Shine bright like a diamond.
The version where he songs with his friends in a PE hall is the closest I've heard in terms of quality.

Marvin has such a magical voice. Listen to this beautiful voice without any music backing him. Very few can pull off this. A real classic
Wish he was still here on earth with us
Love this voice
Well said. From his soul ours
I don’t think even he knew how good he was.
I didn't he was a very tortued soul from childhood traumas. Daddy issues for real. Go to Ashley says so and watch his story.
@@BlaydeAlabama He was also killed by his father iirc.

Boys II Men: We're doin' some incredible acapella.
Marvin Gaye: Hold my drink.
Anthony Cruz I like that. LOL.
Lol yup
That made my soul jump
Hysterical!
And almost anybody else. Magnificent!!!!
The way he feels and dances to the music that isn’t there let’s you know there’s probably music in his head constantly.
The vocals have been isolated, extrapolated, then posted here solo. The original has music lmao
He once stated that that he always heard music playing in his head. Probably why he could write, harmonize with himself, and play the background music without being able to read or write musical notes.😮
No auto tune, just pure raw talent. Definitely a lost art that today’s music definitely needs more of.
He makes singing sound like anyone can do it until you start signing with him and realize how terrible you sound singing next to this genus!
Too funny!
You made me laugh. Thanks. So true.
Ikr
I started singing and the stopped and said bruh dont ruin it. I said sorry and just watched
😂😂😂😂
The heavy reverb, his quiet foot tapping to keep time, gives it such an ethereal quality: majestic.
You know you can sing, when you don't need the music, because the voice is the instrument. The incomparable Marvin Gaye.
He was a gift from God! RIP MARVIN.
Why impugn his talent, which he has achieved through a lifetime of labor, by crediting your magical friend?
Factzzzz
Amen
When there’s no need for autotune... Incredible
Holy mother of all that’s sacred. His albums should be kept in the library of Congress for posterity.
DAMN THAT'S WHAT I CALL REAL TALENT, R.I.P MARVIN

No matter if this version or the studio version, it doesn't change the fact that this man had (and still has) one of the most powerful and soulful voices in music history.
This is the studio version, with the instruments digitally removed. Well, most of them. You can hear a few sneak through but very muted near the end.
Lord have mercy. It doesn't get any better than this. Breathtaking.
You can still hear the SOUL in the music without any backing track! Absolutely amazing voice. RIP Legend.

Only Marvin Gaye can make a frilly/ruffled pirat shirt look good
Well, no disrepect to Marvin, but there was this guy named Prince...
This has to be the greatest a capella ever recorded.
Watching marvin dancing in pure silence kinda make this song hit 10x harder

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see

my grandmother used to take care for him, when he lived in Oostende Belgium
I bet she had some stories!
Even without a instrument Marvin Gaye voice is magnificent he is truly talented
Wishing him nothing but freedom from anything that's holding him from progression. Free his mind body and spirit. Beautiful voice
It's just power and force, mixed with elegance and class, and just a lot of soul, that's all... I could do that if I were him.
