In soul’s long and glorious history many artists have laid claim to be “LOVE MAN No. 1” … well, here at www.soulandjazzandfunk.com we don’t think that too many would argue with our contention that it’s MARVIN GAYE who most deserves the accolade. By coincidence – and with Valentines Day just around the corner – Universal Records have just released a double CD to prove our point. ‘The Greatest Love Songs Of MARVIN GAYE’ boasts 40 songs which prove that when it came to romancing MR G had few peers…. All the man’s greatest romantic moments are here – including ‘Let’s Get It On’, ‘How Sweet It Is’ and ‘Sexual Healing’ along with all those famous knee-trembling duets he crafted with the ladies of Motown… and sure, things like ‘What’s Going On’ and ‘Mercy Mercy Me’ aren’t romantic per se…but they do create a very special mood. Be that as it may, the very nice people at Universal have given us three of the CDs to offer as prizes in a special Valentines Competition…. Simply answer the question below and e-mail the answer (with you name and full address) to us (the link’s up there, top right) and the first three correct answers drawn out of the now redundant bobble hat on February 14th will win a copy of the CD…
Good luck…. Here’s that all important question
Which of the Motown ladies duetted with MARVIN on his classic smoocher ‘If This Word Were Mine’?
