My walks have recently been dominated by Marvin Gaye's seminal album "Let's Get it On" and its timeless title track. What a lush, warm, tasty piece of music. It's so camp, but you wouldn't know it from the way he sings those lyrics.
"YOU don't have to worry that it's WRONG!
IF the spirit moves you, let me GROOVE you!"
You know he's singing to someone out there. Not even the greatest of bullshitters could give a vocal delivery as impassioned. It's the embodiment of yearning.
And that backing band... whew! I think a spot in his touring band would completely satisfy my musical aspirations. Funky to a T.
