Marvin Gaye - If I Should Die Tonight

Oh, If I should die tonight
Oh baby, it would be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar yeah
'Cause I've known you

Oooh, oh, how many eyes Have seen their dream
Oh, how many arms Have felt their dream
How many hearts, baby...
Have felt their world stand still

Millions never, they never never
And millions never will baby
They never will If I should die tonight love
Darlin', it would be far before my time
I won't die blue 'Cause I've known you Oooh,

Oh, I'm thankful that you're lovin' me
My one desire
Is to love you 'til
I'm no longer here and never tire
You always been so good to me
I'm so thankful

Oooh, oh, how many eyes Have seen their dream
How many arms Have felt their dream
How many hearts, oh darlin'
Have felt their world stand still
Oh Lord!

Millions never, no, never
And millions never will, sugar
They never will If I should die tonight, ahhh baby
I just want you to keep this thought in mind
That I would never die blue...
'Cause I've known you Oooh!!

Damn. my kinda thread




Keith and Chante had some GOAT duets. These are both dope songs that never blew-up, but are certified slow jams

Chante Moore's 'Precious' album spent forever in my tape deck when it came out.....

Rome - I Belong To You

Spoiler

Goodfellaz - Sugar Honey Ice Tea

Spoiler

And I know this isn't a low key song, but Gladys Knight could SING...

That record seemlessly floats through 3 different genre with ease.

 

[CSquare43]

And for those of you that don't do the Jazz thing, this is one of the most beautiful albums created. This is that "lights off, candles lit, dancing in the living room, romance" music:

John Coltrane - Ballads (Album)

Spoiler

 

[CSquare43]

Yeah, this one is fantastic too:

Terence Trent D'Arby - A Change Is Gonna Come

Spoiler

 

[Danie84]

Changing Faces first album is severly slept on

This is a personal classic to me as well.
Teedra voice is one of the sexiest ever, and Raphael Saadiq is a master at giving you the feel, a legendary producer. I'm just mad that he didn't have someone to help him write the song lyrics during that era, because he needs help in that department. He puts a lot of incredibly mundane lyrics in his songs.

He hooked up with someone who actually takes pride in songwriting (Solange) and look how dope that turned out to be.

Man this guy never had that one hit record to put him over the top but dude is really gifted. I wonder if he'd be bigger if he came out now.
