Marvin Gaye

I saw this somewhere else on the internet and it floored me.. I couldn't sit still while watching it.
There are a lot of people walking around pretending to be funky and drooling on "on the 1" clichés etc.. but this is the real stuff.
This is just smoking and everything is just how it should be : the moves, the groove, the sound, the funny but competent backings, the cowbell (we need more cowbell !) and a great bass-player (who says you need an old Precision with flatwounds ?). Check that bass fill around 5'18"..

....and a great segue into the next number.

Yep, great stuff, thanks. Be great to play in a band like that, although I suspect rehearsals with a band leader to that standard would be demanding.

Aria SB1000. I had one, well, the cheaper 600 version, looked amazing back then!

Love MG - anyone interested should check the book 'Divided Soul' - the definitive MG bio.

Really tragic story - but an utterly engaging portrait of a true genius.

He was. Deeply studied and detailed vocal parts on his part but with amazing feel.

Wonderful, genuinely life affirming stuff

Brilliant stuff. Created the template for practically every 'soul' artist since. Awesome voice too (not too shabby on the drums either...).
