    This is a very emotional song for me. There are so many good memories of my son blasting this piece in his truck, singing it as if he was Mr. Marvin Gaye himself. He was definitely a Marvin Gaye fan. This one is for you baby. Love you forever, Mom.

    Do artists, music producers, film directors,politicians, etc. think people are stupid or are they just focusing on filling their pockets at the expense of society?!?!

    Yes.

    @estebana174 If we trusted ourselves to say ‘NO’ to popular trends fed down our throats … The powers that be would have no alternative but to change! Just because an artist has 50 million views on YouTube, it does not mean quality. 50 million views does not mean 50 million people actually watched it … it’s very likely manipulated numbers. We all have to listen to the Legends of Great music before, that created hard knocks standards of quality; to compare &test true talents of today. ;-)

    These songs are beyond good, they’re STILL so relevant – they could’ve been written yesterday – a sign of true genius if ever there was one. He was peerless in his time and remains so to this day.

    TRULY AMAZING!

    @HeartzWAY17 The answer is in who controls the media and movie and music industries . . the people who run the world don’t want us to love each other. Divide and conquer.

  20. hoedad1 Apr 19th 2011

    @BlacknesUnforgivable FLAME the fires of hatred,and people get burned.GROW UP,and UNDERSTAND .Good and bad people exist in ALL RACES.

  21. Surannhealz Apr 19th 2011
