I wouldn't know. I don't hang out with white folks like that

Me neither, but guess what…….










I still know they love that album, same way I know they love:
Thriller
Bad
Purple Rain
Songs in The Key of Life
Legend
etc.



They’ve been elevating these albums as upper echelon for decades now, not hard to figure out that white people love Marvin Gaye, not as much as our older relatives do, but still.

I first heard it in 2016 or so. I was 23 at the time and just gave it a shot. Lol changed my musical mind. I tell any artists I know if they wanna know what an album is supposed to sound like go listen to this all the way through

My girl and I were watching something and Donny’s “giving up” came on. She had never heard it and was laughing at me singing it word for word lol.

I told her about the self titled compilation album and she’s been playing that shyt on her way to work lol.

I really wish that dude had access to modern mental health care so he could have given us more of his soul on wax.

Yeah man, I hate he went out the way he did. He had so much more to give us.

I'm glad you was able to introduce your girl to greatness though

Man had the purest voice. Such a clean crisp tone. Gone too soon

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

I own this album and it's...ok.

I prefer I Want You.

 

[Doomsday]

I Want You is better.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

The way the songs flow.

And the lyrics just hit you.

Yeah, songs in the key of life is technically a better album, but you can’t compare the two. They’re two totally different styles of album and equally as important to soul history.

I was watching Disappearing Acts and they played that song. It was already an emotional scene, but that song just made you feel the character’s pain

1973 was a ridiculous year for music & movies
