MotownMagic1959 Yes, this is a super song isn't it? It's so nice that people love this one so, They were such good singers, it just speaks for itself eh? The Originals used to sing in the background on many a record, so they certainly had much experience. Thank you for listening. :-) JOHN

Just a classic "blue lights in the basement" song. Man, does this bring back so many happy memories. A lot of stuff today's kids wouldn't understand about love, relationships,and togetherness, esp. in terms of my community that I grew up in. My, my, my.....Thanks for posting!!!
My husband Indio is always singing this song to his wife Sandra this is how strong our love is. We are both so emotionally in love with each other forever.. I love you baby and always will stay in love with you.. I'm not ever going to stop loving you babe.. Forever yours your wife Sandra Calac...
I always imagine sitting in on a recording session in the snake pit at Motown with the likes of The Originals or The Temps, with a nice bottle of Cognac Or Whisky, I'd happily die that day :-)
Marvin Gaye's is the artist that I most identify with. I tried emulate his music earlier in my life. This brother was so sensual... His Music did provide sexual healing for many of us during lovemaking The first time I made love, "I want You" was playing on my cassette deck. His music helped me, and HEALED during some very trying times...... These songs are dedicated to Nicci. Girl you were my first love I think of you often....Thank You for allowing me in your life

It really gives us some wonderful moments to remeber if the really great acts who were so underrated but brought to life now by their families and friends. (IT's a shame if no one can find film!!!
I could see Marvin Gaye writing such a romantic song. Saw him on stage shortly before he passed. He walked on stage in gold silk pajamas singing. Wow, talk about sex appeal, he had it!

Thanks for the info. I had no idea they had other songs besides "Baby, I'm For Real" and "The Bells". Those are the only songs I heard growing up as a kid.
This song reminds me of my uncle. He was going through a bad break up with a girlfriend and he played this song continuously, sang it and paced all day. He was really gone over this girl! He had me call her and tell her that he'd been shot, just to get her reaction. I didn't have the heart to tell him that she seemed not to be worried at all and lied that she seemed upset. This was my first time realizing that love could hurt. This is one of my favorite songs but it is still painful to listen to.

Hey tlmurray68. Your beautiful story is a song in itself. But remember you and I are the lucky ones. The ones who got to experience a love like that. Yes brief, but still something that left an impression on us for the rest of our lives. Here's to songs like this allowing us to ride shotgun on a time machine that has express travel plans down memory lane........
I love this song!!! This and "The Bells" are my favorites by them. I agree with you MowtownMagic1959; they are VERY underrated.
