Marvin Gaye -- Let's Get it On

The newest selection of Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special: Marvin Gaye. I nearly forgot how damn talented this guy was. And, of course, this post is not only about his talent and voice, but about his background singers -- CHECK THAT SH!T OUT!

We all need some background singers like that -- matching white suits, moves... nothing better for personal morale than white bellbottoms, gospel-inspired hand gestures, and harmony.



Enjoy the talented presentation of prurient interest,

Bp

Very nice sir -- I love the group stepping stuff, so awesome.

You have more than fulfilled your ceremonial obligations sir, as you were.
