You t tat one right on the money sang it with so much soul hm and Whitney are tops in my book I would of like to see them 2 do it together but God had other plans I guess?😟🍺🍺
The only rendition of this song I've ever heard that had the crowding clapping in unison. Only Marvin could "take you to church" doing this song. Indescribable soul...
when I first say this.. I immediately said hold up... this is the national anthem... people normally are quiet ir singing along... Marvin had people clapping.. this was a concert lol
And the thing is they're are so many brainwashed and misconstrued out there in society that need to be refreshed on its value! Let Marvin singing it lead the way like only he could! Wow, he nailed it and I vividly remember his rendition as if it we're yesterday! I was 11 at the time and was watching that live! Oh and btw to all those brainwashed and misconstrued, Marvin Gaye had representation of everyone in the world! He was all about the American people getting along and when he sang the anthem that day you could feel it with each word!
I’ve never closed my eyes to this song, until I heard Marvin Gaye. I’ve heard people cheer for this song as it’s sung but never like this, it’s as if they just heard a new song that caught them by surprise.
Yes I agree... I cannot hold my tears for the second evening in row I'm listening to this performance. And I'm in Holland, not even Americain ;-) So talented, soulfull, moving. Marvin Gay, always touching the heart ❤❤❤
@@raymondmeyers8983 Naw bro, you in the minority. Marvin, says hold my Champaign. I have heard both and Marvin's rendition is Iconic. Your guy was ok..but come on.
What a stumble on this on the Fourth of July. I never knew this existed. He just ripped a tear in the time space continuum with that version and over a sick Casio beat
This is the best version with the full intro and no Barry Gordy (?) talking over it. Goose bumps since I first heard it 30 years ago. This is MY National Anthem
Marvin Gaye was a prophet! Listen to the "What's going on" album, He's singing about what is going on today and the album is over fifty years old. He told Smokey that GOD wrote the "What's going on album.
Marvin was "live." Whitney was pre-recorded and lip-synced, so her version could have been tweeked, edited, and/or re-recorded. No competition here ..."live" is better than pre-recorded.
Marvin Gaye could sing anything and it would be the best it’s ever been he was truly Blessed with an Excellent amazing Anointed voice given to him from God may he rest in peace❤❤❤🙏
I remember watching this game. I was 9 years old. 3rd/4th grade. Snow/blizzard outside. In the living room by myself. Mama and pops in the back in bedroom. Even then I knew it was something different and nothing I had or probably ever would see again. And yes I was a child and still knew that
Man, you could tell the ladies were doing all they could to not throw their drawers and phone numbers on the court during this remix...LMBO!!! Respect and RIP to the Sexual Healer.
Man, only he can bring me to tears singing The Star Spangled Banner. For Marvin to beautifully sing this song and move people to cheers & tears is still amazing. I wonder what he would think of the country today? What he would think of our hometown Washington DC? He would be singing Mercy, Mercy Me non-stop. 😥
@@corikevin Yes it is we lived in the same neighborhood when I was a child and I attended school with his siblings children. We have a Marvin Gaye Day, street and Park. We Love Marvin in DC🥰
In an interview recorded in 1983 before his "Sexual Healing" tour, when asked about his rendition of the National Anthem, he said he asked God to help him "move men's soul's" I guess he succeeded.
Today February the 13th 2022 super bowl halftime I'm missing you Marvin I was pregnant with my first son when you performed something so beautiful and until this date I never had the same feelings so I do something is great is about to happen or something horrible but I'm asking to heavenly creator of my being to protect and cover my family my bloodline and all others are in a line with love empathy and compassion peace.
Both of you are so blessed. He made everyone change the style of singing this. But in my humbled opinion (bias DC native, besties with his niece) he sang it better than any that followed.
One of my all-time favorite singers, Extraordinary talent. Glad to find --and savor --this after all these years, RIP, Marvin. Your may be gone, but your voice lives forever.
his artistry, his genious, his talent was and quite frankly, still is, phenominal. I remember this like yesterday. My family is a reason why siloque's like "die hard" exisit referencing the Lakers. I mean you can't even come to my Momma's house unless you where of the like. Lakers talk so much shit that we make people physically ill, I've witnessed this throought my life. My motown-grown parents and their sibilings and some oler cousins too all cried when he was killed; and I mean cried, we all did. I was in elementary school in the 5th grade and this was more than a snap shot memory. this all star event was watched; prime time watched and everyone was groven to this. good times. thanks marvin, rest up! and because this historical moment was at the inglewood forum, my beloved lakers, rest up jerry, rest up kobe, rest up Queen Gianna
This along with Whitney's rendition are iconic. Christina Aguilera, Fergie, Roseanne, Michael Bolton, Steven Tyler, Carl Lewis, R. Kelly, Jesse McCartney and Kat DeLuna, take notes!
Who would know that Marvin Gaye was singing his last ⏲️ on a national front stage 💯 in (1983) and the next year Marvin Gaye would be killed by his own Father 💯
Who's here to be cleansed of the awful 2024 home run derby anthem, Ik I am!!! 😅😩
Absolutely!!
👋 me!!
😂😂😂Me
Me!
Me too 🤣🤣

@@joaom.4944 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Lucky man
WOW
Only Marvin Gaye could turn a 1 minute song into a 3 minute song and everyone be okay with that.
bet those people can't remember a single thing about the game but they'll never forget Marvin singing the National Anthem
lol. Excellent point. 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You t tat one right on the money sang it with so much soul hm and Whitney are tops in my book I would of like to see them 2 do it together but God had other plans I guess?😟🍺🍺

amen!

To this day nobody sung that like Marvin.

@@davidhuggins3892 Many have tried and failed.
Only Marvin can sexy up the National Anthem 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥
Georgie tried to in 2018 and she wasn't successful.
Marvin Gaye does the BEST national anthem
I get chills every time I listen to this that man could’ve sang the alphabets and I’d still feel the same way
The audience vibe was like trying out new food for the first time, not being sure if they liked it. By the end, it was the best meal they've ever had.
I’ve never closed my eyes to this song, until I heard Marvin Gaye. I’ve heard people cheer for this song as it’s sung but never like this, it’s as if they just heard a new song that caught them by surprise.
The sexiest national anthem I've ever heard
Best version of the anthem I've ever heard.
Brad... Mona I have to say Whitney Houston sings a awesome of Star Spangle Banner also Take Care December 19th 2022
Tell them about it Mr Brad the best
Yes I agree... I cannot hold my tears for the second evening in row I'm listening to this performance. And I'm in Holland, not even Americain ;-) So talented, soulfull, moving. Marvin Gay, always touching the heart ❤❤❤
I heard this live 40 years ago and I knew it would make history at that time…Still the greatest version of all time!!!!
Agreed!
I remember watching this as a kid at 11 yrs old. I'm now 51 & to this very day, NO male has EVER did it better!! RIP Sir Gaye ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Marvin was always original...this version shows why he was a genius.
Wow, til this day nobody has ever touched my soul like Marvin did while singing the national anthem. RIP Marvin Gaye
Only one year later, and he was gone.
Babyface tried tonight but Marvin still reign supreme
Marvin Gaye song the hell out of that national anthem he is well missed but never forgotten
Feel the Gospel in it
Only Marvin could make the Star-Spangled Banner a make-out song. Hell, a baby-making song!
THATS A WHOLE FUCKING FACT
The Great western was rockin, Marvin put some Soul in it in 83” !
Thats the Fabulous Forum
Best national anthem performance ever
Chris Stapleton says “Hold my beer!”
@@raymondmeyers8983
Naw bro, you in the minority. Marvin, says hold my Champaign.
I have heard both and Marvin's rendition is Iconic. Your guy was ok..but come on.
It is a tie between him and Whitney Houston. May they Rest in Peace 🕊️
I Have Never Seen Any Artist Perform The US National Anthem Like Marvin Gaye
What a stumble on this on the Fourth of July. I never knew this existed. He just ripped a tear in the time space continuum with that version and over a sick Casio beat
Best version ever. AND, entirely live. One of the greatest American voices of all time... Marvin, Ray, Aretha, Stevie, Etta.
I was at this game, I remember the anthem, lady behind us was screaming, “Watch Larry Bird” most of the game.
The man filled a lot of people with soul that night. If they came in the arena with none, they left full of soul.
Best version then, now and forever
This is the best version with the full intro and no Barry Gordy (?) talking over it. Goose bumps since I first heard it 30 years ago. This is MY National Anthem
I couldn't agree more, happy 4th.
@@1_queen_fan313Happy Belated Fourth! 😢
❗❗❗
Marvin Gaye was a prophet! Listen to the "What's going on" album, He's singing about what is going on today and the album is over fifty years old. He told Smokey that GOD wrote the "What's going on album.
Damn I miss Marvin Gaye!
Til this day the way Marvin Gay sung the National anthem nobody can touch it. Whitney Houston Jasmine Sullivan & recently Fantasia my top tier. ❤
Still the best version ever...Marvin was a singer like no other. RIP.
I think this was the best performance ever and second best Whitney 👏
Marvin was "live." Whitney was pre-recorded and lip-synced, so her version could have been tweeked, edited, and/or re-recorded.
No competition here ..."live" is better than pre-recorded.
Marvin proved he could take any song and give it a life only he could give it... RIP Brotha Marvin...
This guy is smooth with it. Luv his version. 🎉 😊
Undeniable the best rendition I have ever heard!!! Along with Whitney Houston
Marvin Gaye could sing anything and it would be the best it’s ever been he was truly Blessed with an Excellent amazing Anointed voice given to him from God may he rest in peace❤❤❤🙏
The man had a golden voice. The best.
One of THE great singers America has ever produced. One of a kind.
The most beautiful version to me.

Kids are very smart. Don’t dimension their perception.
@@summerbabetoowhat are you even talking about
@@jasondawson8938 That as a child you recognized greatness.
There's only two Star Spangled Banner performances I'll ever love.Hendrix at Woodstock,and this.
Marvin's version is the Best Ever Made!!!!
Soul stirring version of the national anthem… ❤❤. RIP Mr. Gaye🙏🏿
He tells the story of America, in all of its triumph and tribulation, in just three minutes.
40 YEARS. Oh my. The late, great Marvin Gaye! Still and always the greatest rendition in US history
Man, you could tell the ladies were doing all they could to not throw their drawers and phone numbers on the court during this remix...LMBO!!! Respect and RIP to the Sexual Healer.
Nothing like it Marvin Gaye ❤
Thank You so much Marvin for all you gave to us. I'm still missing you in 2023 & I always will. 😢

I wonder what he would think of the country today? What he would think of our hometown Washington DC? He would be singing Mercy, Mercy Me non-stop. 😥
Agree with your last sentence.
I believe he knows
DC is his home
@@corikevin Yes it is we lived in the same neighborhood when I was a child and I attended school with his siblings children. We have a Marvin Gaye Day, street and Park. We Love Marvin in DC🥰
Yes ~ Marvin would be singing
Mercy, Mercy Me
from the rooftops ❗
THIS WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ONLY TIME I THINK I COULD WALTZ TO THE ANTHEM. Awesomeness ❤❤❤❤❤
THE GOAT MARVELOUS MARVIN GAYE. WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID. RIP MY LOVING BROTHER, YOU ARE SO MISSED.BUT YOUR LEGACY AND YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON.😔🙏🙏🎶🎶.
He and Jimi, the two DEFINITIVE versions of the SSB!

The best one I’ve heard..
i have the ticket stub,, DR. J M.V.P. BUT THIS IS WHY I BOUGHT IT,, MARVIN GAYE,, a true MASTERPC;;;
kevin blanch Best ever in my opinion as I was there too. What a feeling!
Both of you are so blessed. He made everyone change the style of singing this. But in my humbled opinion (bias DC native, besties with his niece) he sang it better than any that followed.
He tried to get Luther Vandross to do this but Luther said no. I’m sooooo glad.❤❤
This brings tears to my eyes every time... So soulful, so awesome... Rest in power, my man!
One of my all-time favorite singers, Extraordinary talent. Glad to find --and savor --this after all these years, RIP, Marvin. Your may be gone, but your voice lives forever.
This is awesome unbelievable😍😍😍😍😍
He was dead just over a year later. Such a tragedy.
We love and remember you always, our dear Marvin.
RIP. What immense and unique talent.
THE BEST AND WHITNEY HOUSTON 2ND
Agreed, she ripped it too.
Marvin Gaye was incredible.
SORRY BUT I MISS WHITNEY AND MARVIN(R.I.P. BOTH) BUT MARVIN'S VERSION JUST TAKES THE TOP WHEN SININGING THIS.WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THIS man was a gift ! ...fantastic version of the anthem..God rest his SOUL!
No doubt the very best
His music 🎵🎶 is still going strong in 2023 may his soul be resting in 🕊️ Peace with Christ
Turned it into a MARVIN GAYE song. Unbelievable! GOAT
Love Marvin always. Such a tragic loss. ❤
Only Marvin could have people Clapping to the National Anthem
Even with the tinny sounds of a stupid laptop, it's remains forever imprinted in our minds and heart.
O.M.G! crying 😭😭 Awesome redition. 🎶👏👏👏👏👏 Marvin! 🙏💕💔
Wow!!!! 😍
I remember marvin gaye used to sing to me. He had me feeling like black was the thing to be 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
his artistry, his genious, his talent was and quite frankly, still is, phenominal. I remember this like yesterday. My family is a reason why siloque's like "die hard" exisit referencing the Lakers. I mean you can't even come to my Momma's house unless you where of the like. Lakers talk so much shit that we make people physically ill, I've witnessed this throought my life. My motown-grown parents and their sibilings and some oler cousins too all cried when he was killed; and I mean cried, we all did. I was in elementary school in the 5th grade and this was more than a snap shot memory. this all star event was watched; prime time watched and everyone was groven to this. good times. thanks marvin, rest up! and because this historical moment was at the inglewood forum, my beloved lakers, rest up jerry, rest up kobe, rest up Queen Gianna
I can't believe it's been 40 years since this happened.
Happy 4th of July from Long Island 2023 at 9:58 P.M. EST!
Marvin is surely looking down on us now!!!!!!!❤❤❤
With only a little over a year to live ... RIP Marvin 😢
Beautiful. He learned from the best José Feliciano in the 1968 World Series
Beautiful rendition 🎶🙌
THE GOAT AND THE BOAT FOR SURE!
I literally learned every word to this anthem because of this version, btw, I need a pair of those glasses 🕶️
Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston did it the best!
This along with Whitney's rendition are iconic. Christina Aguilera, Fergie, Roseanne, Michael Bolton, Steven Tyler, Carl Lewis, R. Kelly, Jesse McCartney and Kat DeLuna, take notes!
Jack black killed it underrated performance imo.
@@LiamKealy But the national anthem should be solemnly sung.
Oh Lord!! 👑🌹🙏
Simply amazing gah damn
Amazing
The best ever
Love him ❤️
makes me want to dance instead of salute...one of the best...up there with Whitney's...
Ooh Wee That man was fine ❤
Who would know that Marvin Gaye was singing his last ⏲️ on a national front stage 💯 in (1983) and the next year Marvin Gaye would be killed by his own Father 💯
A wonderful singer takes a banal cultural ritual and turns it into a moving, personal, soulful artistic statement
chills
Marvin!
1 more thing, for him to have smoked cigarettes and other things. His voice was crystal clear!
Give us ROSEANNE!!
There were a lot of patriotic children conceived that night.
