  • Meocyber from Alma. Co.One of the very best expression of men's needs and wants of women.
  • Neel from MumbaiEd Sheeran?
  • Tammy from Fredericksburg, VaDoes anyone remember this song from "The King of Queens"? Deke & Kelly, Doug & Carrie all went away for a romantic retreat weekend. Too funny!
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyThis song spent two weeks at #1 but not consecutively. On September 8th, 1973 it reached #1 but after one week "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy
    replaced it for one week. Then Marvin reclaimed #1 for another week!!!
  • John from Nashville, TnEd Townsend finally wrote his "gettin' on with life after beating alcoholism song" called "Finally Got Myself Together". It was a #1 r&b hit and a top 20 pop hit for the post- Curtis Mayfield Impressions.
  • Del from Ohakunie, New Zealandwish a guy would sing this to me lol
  • David from Youngstown, OhThat smooth opening is instantly recognizable. It's one of Marvin Gaye's greatest performances. What I love is he doesn't mince words. He wants to have sex and is very, very straight-forward. "Stop beating 'round the bush" is a great touch.
  • Ben from Hillsborough, NjI think that this song is very sexy and meaningful, and sparks a lot of enthusiasum. great song, very 1970's style, too.
