I always knew Marvin was in a class by himself. I just didn't know that class was in a school that was in a city that was in a country and he was STILL by himself.
So true. How does anger rise to a father shooting his own son. Dont know the whole sstory, but how tragic. That's a bucket full of regret. This song was my favorite 45💜💜💜💜💜
He once stated that that he always heard music playing in his head. Probably why he could write, harmonize with himself, and play the background music without being able to read or write musical notes.😮
There's a note that's about 20 cents sharp, lol. Perfect isn't perfect, humans make mistakes, but that's why this is so impressive, with no technology to make it sound stale, it sounds legit.
@@ladamjohnson oh yeah! This was awesome! Marvin was sangin!! Mike voice was just BEAUTIFUL! I don't think they'll ever be a song sang better than Whitneys....and not one written better than Indie Arie's "Ready For Love". But Mike is #2 and Luthor and Marvin hold 3 and 4.....but that will change from time to time. Lol!
@@Kevinschart I agree with you it is... but it's decades old, it doesn't have all the modern days filters, mixing and dubbing singers have these days, you can still hear how raw his voice is. Still pretty amazing!
@Dale Hobson please don't misunderstand me. Marvin is my favorite singer of all time. They are playing the vocal track to the the actual song. He sang it beautifully. there were plenty of recording tricks in the 70s. not a knock to marvin but there were punch ins and dubs back then as well.
He was singing gospel since he was 4. He knew how good he was that's why he could do it. He was also a pianist. Most gospel singers know their ability because they sing acapella during practice not always with an instrument accompanying their vocals. They sing from the soul.
Beautiful thinkin. 👍🤝 .. the man just Sang. Because, when it comes down to it. For him, i'd imagine there was a stage around Every corner drewling for him. But! Even Gods Have to leave a Business-Card.
No matter if this version or the studio version, it doesn't change the fact that this man had (and still has) one of the most powerful and soulful voices in music history.
@@filipejunio3671 I can't even explain why I'm crying listening to this? I grew up on a steady diet of Marvin Gaye as a child growing up in the 70's Therefore I shouldn't have been shocked or caught off guard by his vocals. YAHUAH blessed this man with a wonderful voice. Thank you YAH for lending him to us for a while. And YAH have mercy on his soul. The late Marvin Gaye HALLELUYAH
That was so intense , it nearly made me cry . His voice is bursting with emotion , he can really transfer that feeling of torment to the listener. Best isolated track I've ever heard. RIP
yeah + you couldn't tell me I wasn't a cool ass mother effer and now I see what cool really is and Marvin probably rolled outta bed + oozes that smooth coolness without even trying. that's why them women lost themselves when dude was around. even had ole Diana Ross in love with him + sister loved MGaye
Either someone managed to go to the considerable effort to isolate Marvin's vocal track from the rest of the mix in the original recording, or someone was able to find the original multi-track tapes and get his vocals clean from the source. Either way, an amazing way to hear a true craftsman of his art.
+محمد الهاشمي Quite obviously the original vocal track; not even the best engineers can isolate a voice so perfectly from a full recording (although the newest version of Melodyne comes to mind).
It's reasonably simple to get a good isolation of an acapella vocal. You can use the original track with an instrumental and phase them together on a separate track. Finding the sweet spot will eliminate the music. Not always perfectly depends on the users quality. But it's possible.
Being new to this and amazed, I wonder too if the tracks are reverse-engineered (but I guess it would be hard to obtain such a quality) or if someone got the studio acapella. Great tracks to discover. This is the 3rd I found. At the splice platform there is bohemian rhapsody.
The industry is focused on where the money is and it is still on rap. Hopefully, someonebody will start writing quality music the young people will want to hear and soul music will be back.
Jesus!!!!!😲 Although hes taping to keep time its obvious hes hearing the entire musical accompaniment in his head just like it was playing right behind him... Full caps talent right there - nothing touches that in the here and now. I am so full of admiration and its so uplifting on its own.
I’ll never forget when I heard Marvin Gaye passed away. I thought it was an April fools joke, like man other folks ; I didn’t want to believe that he was gone and at the time of his death I was 14 years old I listen to Marvin Gaye to this day His CD is in my radio in the car❤
When I was about 12 my teacher gave all of his pupils nicknames so he could remember their names easier. All the kids laughed at me for having Marvin Gaye as mine, only a few realised that I was given the name of a legend.
No music, no instruments just his pure voice!!!! Marvin was THE LEGEND
his name was cool
The power of a supreme voice
Could not agree more
✊🏾🔥✊🏾
Marvin's voice was pure magic, DAMN. I get chills listening to this.
Yesssssssss
I always knew Marvin was in a class by himself. I just didn't know that class was in a school that was in a city that was in a country and he was STILL by himself.
@@scottstansell8021 It must have truly been lonely on Marvin's world. What a gorgeous voice, my goodness.
@@scottstansell8021He's not by himself. Sam Cook.
Just pure talent!
Marvin has such a magical voice. Listen to this beautiful voice without any music backing him. Very few can pull off this. A real classic
Wish he was still here on earth with us
Love this voice
Well said. From his soul ours
You know it's real when you don't even want to sing along. Just listen and nod with great respect. Greatness on another level 🙏
I knew that. I just couldn't put it into words. Thanks.
For real...respect
Lol all facts
What is genius
Man I'm sangin'
We lost one beautiful human being with a divine voice.
So true. How does anger rise to a father shooting his own son. Dont know the whole sstory, but how tragic. That's a bucket full of regret.
This song was my favorite 45💜💜💜💜💜
The way he feels and dances to the music that isn’t there let’s you know there’s probably music in his head constantly.
The vocals have been isolated, extrapolated, then posted here solo. The original has music lmao
He once stated that that he always heard music playing in his head. Probably why he could write, harmonize with himself, and play the background music without being able to read or write musical notes.😮
I’m over here singing background for him.
Lol!!
Me too!

That sounds fun, Think I'll give it a go🙂

Bryan Starkweather I’m glad you said this because it isn’t perfect but it doesn’t need to be 🤙
@@tec2592 perfect is boring
Perfection is never, ever what I’m looking for as a music producer. Perfection is shit. Listen to autotune if you really need perfection.
This is the best Acapella performance I ever heard. Of any song. His timing was on point.
This wasn’t an acapella performance, it’s just isolated vocals.
Michael Jackson Smile is THE best I've heard!
@@sk5835 Yeah that’s what I was gonna say

People: Nothing is perfect
Marvin: Hold my instruments
Underrated comment.
Yeah he did that
Right,
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao 😆
One of the best voices I've ever heard in my life. RIP MARVIN
628 people that are tone deaf.
This man was MAGICAL! Period.
656 now
Who is downvoting this? No way anyone listens to this niche video and hates it
They have to be because this man's voice is like butter baby!! lol
Even without all the instruments, this guy still sounds amazing.
No shit it's marvin gaye
it's a vocal track..he's not singing this live

More Marvin.

Play it again
DAMN THAT'S WHAT I CALL REAL TALENT, R.I.P MARVIN
I don’t think even he knew how good he was.
I didn't he was a very tortued soul from childhood traumas. Daddy issues for real. Go to Ashley says so and watch his story.
@@BlaydeAlabama He was also killed by his father iirc.
I agree
He was singing gospel since he was 4. He knew how good he was that's why he could do it. He was also a pianist. Most gospel singers know their ability because they sing acapella during practice not always with an instrument accompanying their vocals. They sing from the soul.

You know you can sing, when you don't need the music, because the voice is the instrument. The incomparable Marvin Gaye.
No mainstream male singer today can touch this.
Prove me wrong
Facts.
Autotune has killed popular music.
You are correct.
Willie Spencer.. Shine bright like a diamond.
The version where he songs with his friends in a PE hall is the closest I've heard in terms of quality.
You can't be proven wrong. This is a fact that's been peer reviewed for many years
This is what we need. 😢 Anyone who got to hear this LIVE, His voice, got blessed. We miss you Marvin. 😢🖤
Marvin Gaye was a masterpiece
No auto tune, just pure raw talent. Definitely a lost art that today’s music definitely needs more of.
My lord!
Thank you for lending
Marvin Gaye to the world for a short while ❤️❤️🌺🌺
Rip Legend 🕊️🙏🏾
I’m 2024 still listening to
Me too
Me too
theres no timing to listen good music. I am f*ckin* from South America (Brazil) and still listening to it.
Same here
Me as well 🙌🏾🙏🏽
He was a gift from God! RIP MARVIN.
Why impugn his talent, which he has achieved through a lifetime of labor, by crediting your magical friend?
Factzzzz
Amen
No matter if this version or the studio version, it doesn't change the fact that this man had (and still has) one of the most powerful and soulful voices in music history.
This is the studio version, with the instruments digitally removed. Well, most of them. You can hear a few sneak through but very muted near the end.
@@PetesGuide Yep, if something seems too good to be true ...
I grew up listening to this man, superb voice, superb songs, we don't have his talent around any more.
The definition of Soul!
The heavy reverb, his quiet foot tapping to keep time, gives it such an ethereal quality: majestic.
Boys II Men: We're doin' some incredible acapella.
Marvin Gaye: Hold my drink.
Anthony Cruz I like that. LOL.
Lol yup
That made my soul jump
Hysterical!
And almost anybody else. Magnificent!!!!
The man is in the stratosphere. Pure voice without any musical background. RIP brother.
This cant be beaten
This voice is really liquid gold
Only one marvin
Incredible.
Concordo PQP
Was the sand which good?
th-cam.com/video/G_hO5uqJy2s/w-d-xo.html
Watching marvin dancing in pure silence kinda make this song hit 10x harder
when you see him sing this in person, it's an entirely situation. You hear his voice directly in your ears.
One of the most gorgeous voices I've ever heard.
You can still hear the SOUL in the music without any backing track! Absolutely amazing voice. RIP Legend.
Legendary!!!
Man I don't know what level
it's above legendary but this is it

I think his voice is a little past legendary, you just got to listen again.
He makes singing sound like anyone can do it until you start signing with him and realize how terrible you sound singing next to this genus!
Too funny!
You made me laugh. Thanks. So true.
Ikr
I started singing and the stopped and said bruh dont ruin it. I said sorry and just watched
😅 Same here, Chris!
Lord have mercy. It doesn't get any better than this. Breathtaking.
Holy mother of all that’s sacred. His albums should be kept in the library of Congress for posterity.
Spectacular gift from God. Rest in Peace Marvin.
That soulful voice!!!
That was so intense , it nearly made me cry . His voice is bursting with emotion , he can really transfer that feeling of torment to the listener. Best isolated track I've ever heard. RIP
He's infinitely cooler than me, even when he's dancing to silence
To be fair he’s cooler that everyone else except Billie D
@@357jp357 You haven't seen me!

Marvin had a vocal range not matched by many if any. Legend Status
Listening to this in 2023. Dear God, what a voice!
You can just Feel the Emotion and the Spirit through his Voice .
Thanks for uploading!
What a blessed voice.
There will never be another Marvin Gaye.
God bless his soul.
We miss him.

Nope live from belguim 1977
This demonstrates how amazing Marvin's voice is, whether a capella or isolated.
Marvin was a talented masterpiece, he didn't need music, the best Acapulco version I've ever heard; I'm blown away
When there’s no need for autotune... Incredible
amazing how you can hear every word so clear with out the music, a true legend with a great voice
Marvin Gaye was just pure genius!
its amazing how his voice is resonating as he sings
I feel like if I could sing this well I’d be randomly singing all day in completely inappropriate situations.
All. Damn. Day.
Same lmao
BillsMafia in the house!!
Easily!
You absolutely SHOULD sing all day in any situation. You will see magic happen before your eyes.
This has to be the greatest a capella ever recorded.
When you listen to this with the instrumental background you don't realise it is one of the greatest vocal performances of all time
I got chills up and down my spine
I can listen to this all day long. Such a beautiful voice my god.
I think I actually prefer this version
Ze Germanz me too lol he killed it not too many ppl can sing acapella this well omg I’m in love😍
Me to.
Me 2
This is better then any song I’ve heard in the last 10 years
It’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Marvin didn’t play, hearing him sing always gives me chills
His music will never die. I still listen all the time. This is when music was music 🦋🦋❤️❤️
Bow down to the King of Soul
Wow. I just heard this for the first time. What have I been listening to all my life? This is awesome.
This still send chills up my spine
I pull this up every few months or so, and it just sends chills over me.
Even without a instrument Marvin Gaye voice is magnificent he is truly talented
Effortless… powerful… the sizzle in Marvin’s voice mostly when he hits high putch is astonishing… hits your soul straight out
My nomination for the best vocal performance of all time.
This man’s voice is everything. Tragic his life was cut short but his music lives on.
I’ve probably played this 100 times today- the version with music is good. But this? This?! Is raw soulful magic 🎯💯❤️ sing on sir sing on!!
Only the most high can make a voice like this 😮
Marvin Gaye Master Great music
PURE VOICE! PURE TALENT!
the band is really there for you this man doesn't need shit
Wishing him nothing but freedom from anything that's holding him from progression. Free his mind body and spirit. Beautiful voice
Voice, melody and rhythm!! Love it!!!
The GOAT🐐
I have come back to this clip for years, every time I want to get chills.
I actually think its better without the instruments. When its stripped down to vocals only you can really tell what an amazing voice he had.
Justin Marlowe. Simply Amazing. Awesome. Truly was a gifted man.
The greatest voice I've ever heard
@@Donalob easy there the Jackson's says other wise
pure Motown Soul -- we need more soul singers today

It's lipsynced.
It's _definitely_ the vocal track from the original recording, not an a capella performance.
My favorite version of Grapevine is so soulful with the acapella voice of the legendary Marvin Gaye.❤️👍👏
His amazing voice will live on forever

No one could hold a candle to Marvin...brings tears to my eyes, so beautiful.
my grandmother used to take care for him, when he lived in Oostende Belgium
I bet she had some stories!
Whenever the topic of "best voice ever" comes up, this is my go to. No instruments. No bs. Just pure gold voice. This wiill forever remain my #1
I do love Marvin Gaye!!! He was such a talented person! God bless his soul!
