I so agree..have u seen Cindy Lauper cover this song?? She’s great too…
No doubt that this song has been re-imagined by T. Swims.
Powerful, beautiful song brought back from our memories. Thank you Teddy for your amazing voice.
One beautiful songs ever written.❤
You can say that again!!.. Marvin Gaye.. omg.. the best who ever existed.. my heart breaks think bout his ending..he was already a legacy while alive!! More ever after!! Untill now his songs and him live forever!! . love his voice..his songs.. as a gentleman he was❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nobody can beat Marvin but Teddy does this brilliantly!! This guy should be a household name.
He is...
This is my favorite version of that awesome song, because it's a slower tempo and you can really feel the words. For me at least. I was in tears the first time I heard this. 😍
AL GREEN IS VERY CLOSE FOR ME TO MARVIN! AL GREEN IS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL!
MARVIN GAYE SHOULD BE PROUD OF TEDDY SWIMS COVER PERFORMANCE… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👊🏼
Pretty sure if he were alive he’d be pretty happy with that cover
It’s hard to cover Marvin but this is darn good 😊
Yes he would.❤️❤️
He ( would be ) proud of His performance
I’m sure he would be!
“War is not the answer”Powerful song.
This man’s voice brings me so much joy!
💕 Being 70ish, I grew up listening to Marvin Gaye’s original of this 👍 song. Teddy has really it done justice imho, making it his OWN style. Ironically, and unfortunately, SO many of these ‘older’, lyrical songs are MORE meaningful NOW with our world’s 🌎current state than back when 1st released. 👏 Interpretation by Teddy - his covers are ALL great.
Me too, turned 72 in July
@@BettyATtheOFFICE63 here.
@elainemeyer50-i saw Marvin in concert around 1982.He was incredibly powerful and very sexual.😮😮
@@lynngold1865 I haven’t ever seen him in person, but always thought the same as you with his vocal and performing style!
@@elainemeyer5062turned 67 in May 🎶 I ♥
I love it when bands cover Marvin Gaye because they keep him alive by doing so.
ALWAYS LOVED MARVIN'S MUSIC SO VERY WONDERFUL! HE DIED FAR TOO YOUNG!
@@lindanorris2455 He did. I wrote and recorded a song for Marvin. It will drop next year. Subscribe to my channel on UA-cam so that you can listen to it when it premieres. Thanks and take care!
One of the most powerful songs ever written in my opinion.
Say dee same words. With where's the love fine cut 2
Yes
You are right.
Loved this song and didn’t think anyone else could do it justice, but I’m wrong. Teddy can sing the phone book and I buy it.
Still today ❤
Wow , wow , wow Teddy is doing Marvin’s song justice and I’m sure if Marvin was here today he would approve .
Unbelievable!! He sings with full emotion and so much soul. So rare to see such a beautiful soul perform where he brings others to tears
I can’t get enough of Teddy’s voice! I was a S. California surfer girl in the 70’s….great era musically. Teddy does this so well. ❤
I grew up with this song!Teddy you have done Marvin proud unbelievable🩷 never stop 🙏🏻
TEDDY: MARVIN IS SINGING WITH YOU FROM HEAVEN! HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMILING!
This man, Teddy, ALWAYS, transcends beyond expectations. Phenomenal singer…beautiful personality. Thank God for him and his talent 💯💯💞
Teddy has an amazing voice and can sing any tune and make it shine.
Wow. Hard to cover Marvin G but Teddy landed it perfectly.
Hardly perfect and he didn't cover Marvin. I don't hear what others are hearing I guess
Faithful to the original while adding new nuance, now thats the sign of a unique talent.
Teddy, Marvin would be proud ❤️
You killed this dude when I was little my mother used to play this all the time I grew up with Motown all around me this is a very powerful song it's beautiful you kill it ❤️
Teddy and his band are always spot on with whatever they play. His voice is so enticing and hypnotic as you just have to stop and listen and take in his message. He and his band never disappoint. Kudos to you Teddy for shining the light on the Black Lives Matter ✊🏿 which is dividing our country in a very sad way. So I thank you for sharing your loving voice which is so healing, deep, soulful and sultry. It puts a smile on my heart whenever I need it, so thanks to you and your entire crew who are finally hitting it “big time”. All Lives Matter throughout our world, so let’s get it on and come together as one country with love and respect for all who are privileged to walk on Mother Earth. Please listen to all that Teddy has put on his UA-cam channel and allow your hearts to open to the healing he and his band offer up is such a cool 😎 laid back way. How can you NOT feel the love when listening to them groove?? This is what our whole world is in need of right now. Singers as healers!! Sending peace ☮️ n ❤️ to all who walk this earth from hot and sunny 🌞 Arizona!!
As soon as I started hearing him sing, all I could think of was cops killing innocent ppl, mostly blacks & this song should represent the Black Lives Matter cause. Teddy may be white, but he gets it. Most of all tho is that it's a Marvin Gaye song & the lyrics & intention can be felt worldwide.
❤ indeed
Amazing tribute to an American legend thank you
One of my favorite songs .You're killing it...Oh my Lord...Love you..❤❤❤
This man makes me want to practice singing more often.
Powerful rendition. If you are going to cover this you need special talent. Teddy has that and more.
Teddy, there is nothing you can't DO! You excel at everything. Your music today, your covers, I love them all, especially your Marvin Gaye interpretations❤. Such a beautiful voice, from your heart. God Bless you....keep singing, you give us all such a beautiful gift!❤
This is what the world needs right now that's bro 🖤🙏
So brave to take on this iconic song,got to say I think it was superbly done 👏
Imitation is the most dangerous form of flattery. Wolves can mimic voices of prey in order to deceive them. Look at actions: not words. Just saying.
Not brace he's just got it❤
Not brave, he has it un spades and with soul❤
Such a beautiful song, such a nice interpretation. You're a soft and gentle man Teddy Swims.
NO ONE can do Marvin Gaye, but Teddy Swims did it well. Its amazing how this song still resonates with our world!!! a single act of kindness is never forgotten..............try to do one every day and see how your life and perspective changes...we are ALL struggling!!
Teddy you truly did marvin gaye and his song justice amazing cover 👌✌👏
WOW! FANTASTIC TEDDY SWIMS SINGING THIS SONG. HE HAS A INCREDIBLE VOICE.😊😅🎉😂❤❤❤❤
OMG! Teddy singing this song is bringing tears to my ears.
He has such a beautiful voice and does every cover he does justice. ❤️ He gives me chills.
You have such a mellow voice and it a blessing
You are definitely more R& B!❤️
Tears in my eyes. Fear for my children's future.
All we can do is hope 😢
@@Flowerpot24pray
We do live in such uncertain times 😢
Beautiful cover by one of the gifted artists who even lived
Miss you Marvin ❤❤❤❤
Always knew this was a genre that would be great for you to explore.
There's no song this awesome man can't sing.I would have loved to hear him sing that with Marvin Gaye❤
A beautiful voice for this song just as Marvin Gaye sang it so many years ago.
LOVELY COVER OF MARVIN!
Hands down the best cover of this anthem I have heard in a long, long time. The tragedy of this song is that not enough has changed and we have not evolved as a species.
🎉❤ Chills and Tears again, Teddy Swims is so amazing 👏 I'd love to hear his story, he sings from his heart, he has it going on-thats what's going on ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so proud to see a bro who his heart is in the right place. Keep the peace going. 70s it cool dude. We love you. ❤️
i am getting to be a huge fan of this guy, awesome
No solo tiene una voz muy versátil capaz de cantar rock y a continuación cantar jazz sino que tiene una delicada y exquisita sensibilidad al cantar. Un artista de verdad. ¡¡¡ Maravilloso !!!.🙏
Such a beautiful powerful song 🎶 and still as pertinent as it was 50 years ago when Marvin Gaye made it a hit ❤🎵👏🏻 Sad to say, in the 21st century, many gains are being reversed and much sadly still needs to change😭😱😪🙏 I love Teddy’s voice and style of singing- he did a fabulous cover of this great song 🎶 ❤
This is one of my favorite songs from one of the greatest artists of all time and now being sang from another great artist in this generation ❤😊❤
Du kannst einfach alles singen, Marvin wäre begeistert❤❤
Thank goodness he started singing, just lovely.
This guy has the most wonderful voice I,ve heard in a long time. The expression of any song he sings metrimizes you to the point you are spellbound by his voice. I,m a fan without any hesitation!!
Teddy Swims 💓 i
what a beautiful voice! 👏😍
Teddy is flawless and he makes every song his own. He's just so flexible with the wide range of different kinds of songs he sings. And I love his covers and he always just does it better than the original with his unique swagger 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This needs to be played on a loud speaker in every County throughout our country plz.
Wow I’ve never heard anyone cover Marvin like This. I’m 55 in a month and only just found teddy about 3 months ago and I am hooked. He is wonderful xox hugs from Sydney Australia
Teddy you've brought tears to my eyes❤❤❤ x
Beautiful cover. I remember the day Marvin Gaye was murdered. Sitting at a stop light and two men looked over and said "Marvin Gaye's dead." And I said "Don't say that! That's awful." Then tuned into KBLX (California) and learned it was true. I had to pull off the road and call my best friend from a pay phone - I was gutted/devastated. Thank you for such a lovely, respectful cover.
Oh my, KBLX, the quiet storm, was always my only channel.
@@kat2mama❤
Thank You for singing this beautiful song ❤❤❤❤
Teddy is fantastic!!
Oh my oh my…… thank you Teddy and Giveon…just beautiful…. Real soulful….we need it right now ❤❤❤🌹🌹💕💕🔥🔥🔥
I loved this back in the old days, and love this as well. Just discovered him, I love his voice. Love to hear more Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Otis Redding..all the greats from the 70s.
Marvin Gaye war auch immer ein Highlight für mich. So Gefühlvoll. Teddy deine Coverversion übertrifft das . Wow, ich fühle mich 50 Jahre zurückversetzt. So schön. Ich liebe Motown Sounds. Habe ich durch GI's kennen gelernt. Soulmusik forever.❤🎉
MUSICIANS YOU HAVE... MAKE IT ALL WORK PERFECT.... EVERY SINGLE MUSICIAN IN THIS GROUP IS BEYOND WONDERFUL. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL MUSICIANS. IN THAT REGARD TEDDY CAN SING WHATEVER HE PLEASES. BOW TO THE GROUND TO YOU FELLOW MUSICIANS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Teddy makes me happy with his soulful voice. Spectacular!
Through out the years, best What’s Going On cover. I still remember where I was when I got the Album. Teddy is special. But much props to his band as well. They are pros who help make Teddy shine.
Thank U Guys!💜 I am so grateful that you guys exist, and that I/we all can get to experience your Musicality. It's a blessing for mine/our souls.💜💜💜
This amazing and word for word magical song I got as gift from my sweetheart when I told him that I loved Teddy his music. The plan of Teddy Swims was one I never had heard before and I love the way my true soulmate gifted me the song with the message that it's same plan as ours ❤❤❤
