Tammi Terrell was such a beauty both inside & out. She unfortunately experienced so much abuse at an early age but continued chasing her dreams till her untimely death. Marvin Gaye adored her & their duets together are classics. Legendary.
She was chronically abused by James Brown and David Ruffin and graped at age 11. Marvin Gaye was the first close male friend who didn't abuse her, was so heartbroken after her death at 24. He never recovered. He stayed high on drugs to avoid his shattered heart.
I remember when there was talk of Jesse L Martin (from the Law & Order tv series) starring in a Marvin Gaye movie/ biography/stage play, but it never came into fruition for some reason.
This song is from 1967 and Marvin Gaye was 28 years old. Marvin Gaye was 44 when he was shot and killed by his father. He is one of the greatest R&B artists of all time with many songs featuring social and anti-war content which Motown didn't want to do originally but acquiesced given Marvin Gaye's talent and promise. Tammi Terrell was a beautiful and gifted singer with a very bright future as a singer. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell had several big hits and were a promising duo when she collapsed into Marvin Gaye's arms as they were performing. She had a brain tumor which killed her at the age of 24. Marvin Gaye never fully recovered from her death. He became depressed and addicted to drugs for some time. He had also attempted suicide. He refused to perform and even tried to be a football player. Eventually, he came back to the studio and recorded the "What's Goin' On" album, partly a reaction to Tammi Terrell's death. Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" album was ranked the #1 greatest album of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
Thanks for your post. Marvin Gaye was one of the most influential singers in American history.. I remember hearing about his death. Father shot him, went back to reading the newspaper when he heard Marvin groan. He went back outside and shot Marvin a second time, killing him. I still play his album with What's Going On, Mercy Mercy me, and more. His Dad was a piece of work. I assume you know he wore women's clothing around the house, was supposed to be a preacher and a lot more! He felt no remorse for killing his son....
As a younger adult growing up in Memphis more than once I found myself still awake from a crazy Saturday night on Sunday morning in Al Greens church cause I just needed more music
As a kid growing up outside of Detroit I was lucky enough to grow up listening to Motown; Marvin Gaye was one of mom’s favs. Now as an adult and back in Detroit; I get the pleasure to go to the Motown Museum; take a step back in time. I’d suggest you guys watch Hitsville:Making of Motown. Very interesting! Seeing what Motown artists went through to be trained and molded into stars. Love Motown!
Born and half raised in Detroit 🙂 SouthWest Detroit off of Lafayette next to Fisher Freeway.. Beard Elementary, Southwestern High School... Clark Park.. Spent most every summer at Grandmas in the D into my teens. Motown 💞
Marvin Gaye was 44 years old when he was killed. The next day would have been his 45th birthday. Such a tragedy. He was one of a kind. Right up there with Al Green, Luther Vandross, Otis Redding. Such amazing music and unique artists. Today you'd be hard pressed to find any resemblance of that.
Perfect song. Period. I am sooooo lucky to have grown up with this music. Motown classic! The songwriting back then, the arrangement, the harmony, and the vocals...just perfect as any song can get.
The reason Marvin Gaye added a E to the back of his name was because he didn’t want to be associated with his father who throughout his life abused him
Marvin was the greatest man! Listen to him solo like inner city blues or the I want you rehearsal, he is layin’ down while singing absolutely killin’ it, total soul!
Rip Marvin, Lord have mercy on his soul. One of the greatest ever. That old school RnB is the best fr. Marvin, Luther, Al Green, Teddy pendergrass, Smokey Robinson, all that if ykyk
My mom and dad wrote each other for 3 1/2 years before meeting face to face. They were married a month after they met and have remained together 50 years later. This was their song. These two were such bright, beautiful talents and were gone too soon.
In 1964, during The Beatles’ first US tour, they were interviewed by phone by a New York radio DJ. He asked the band which song they wanted to hear played on the radio. The band wanted to listen to “Pride And Joy”, by Marvin Gaye. The DJ immediately played his record.
The day Marvin Gaye died was the very first time I ever saw a grown man cry when I told my Uncle Bill (RIP) about his death. He was devastated. Got my hands up for my fellow female Philadelphians, both Miss Tammi Terrell (RIP) & Miss Patti LaBelle. Must be something in the 'wooder' here in Philly😉!Go Birds 💚🦅🏈
I remember when I was a kid discovering “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. Then I found out about Tammy Terrell. It was too sad seeing a vibrant, talented person had a short life.
I met Marvin Gaye in England when he was on his last European tour. He was such a lovely guy . I was completely shocked when we heard of his death at the hand of his own father. So so sad .Bobby Womack...omg you need to play Harry Hippy
Marvin Gaye was 44 for when he died. He had many hits. Let's Get It On, Sexual Healing, What's Going On, Got to Give It Up, I Heard it through the Grapevine, & many more.
Love this song! Tami Terrell died tragically young of a brain tumor I believe. Marvin had a lot of problems with drugs. He and his father got into it and his father shot him on April Fool's Day. I think it was 1985. I had just moved into my new apt in L.A. and was painting my bedroom when the radio DJ said Marvin Gaye had been shot...I thought it was a bad joke. He was so talented. What a waste.
Such an unbelievable tragedy. 😢 Such a loss for the world of music. One of the best voices God ever blessed the earth with. And Luther Vandross was awesome as well. Marvin Gaye and Tammy together were magic.
Hi guys. Happy New Year. Thank you for this classic song that was done great by this Legendary King & Queen. This song was originally written by the legendary team of husband and wife, Nick Ashford And Valerie Simpson. Who has also written so many songs for so many artists. This classic tune was also sung by Diana Ross. And yes you get a chance, check out Luther Vandross, Patti Labelle, The OJAYS, The Stylistics, The Dells, Earth, Wind & Fire, Commodores, and Isley Brothers, just to name a few of the Legends from back in the day. Take care guys and keep reacting to old-school songs that will sound good today. GOD BLESS.
You know how to make me feel old, 66 years. I remember how now how much I loved these two. RIP Marvin and the sweet beautiful Tammi. I wanted what Tammi was wearing, epitome of cool.
I just hit my teenage yrs once the sixties dawned ...I was there when music of this caliber first came out...there was good and bad goin on then just as now,however the spirit of the music helped to ease all that pain...Ty guys
My mom raised me with Motown music as one of the myriad genres she grew up with playing in the background doing house chores. She had some vinyls and one was Tammi Terrell. I remember thinking how strikingly gorgeous she was but then there was that voice too.
Excellent reaction, guys!! Motown is my all time favorite music. If you want some Bobby Womack, reaction to 'Across 110th street.' Song is golden. Keep up the great work!!
Y’all getting all my views. Y’all watching anything and everything I love it. They watch about anything from any genre and don’t care who sings it and if it’s good they put respect on where it is due. Love it boys!
Happy New Year boys! I really enjoyed watching your channel the most on TH-cam in 2022 so thank you for that. Wishing you all health, happiness, and more success in 2023❤🎉
Y'all getting into my mama's stuff now! That woman raised me on Marvin. I grew up on Marvin, some of the greatest music ever. My favorite Marvin Gaye song is Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler).
Dude on the end is trippin’. Nothing wrong with old people. If your fortune enough to live your life all the way through, then you will get old someday too. Just live for today and be grateful and enjoy your youth. 😊
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷💖 my mother always listened to the songs of the singer Marvin gaye and it's a shame to know he died unfortunately until today music is missing great singers good song
More Marvin and don’t forget Sam Cooke.. I know everything you listen to, my enjoyment comes from hearing young People hearing the good things in this world and embarrassing it. And yeah I’m an old Guy that raised three Sons been married for 43 years. Keep listening cause hell nobody ever paid me for listening, get what you can get, ✌🏽Peace from Oregon 🎶🤙🏽👍🏽😎
Oh I just love you guys....it's so much fun to watch you! I'm all about music and have sang in bands and love ALL KINDS of music.... lol. You are so entertaining... I have to be on when you go live sometime..... lol. I just have to. 😂
Marvin was a Premier artist, Male artist, but he was 45 when his Father shot him. Give "What's Going On" a listen. Describes the social dilemma to a tea, problem is nothing has changed.
Tammi Terrell was so legendary she did so much in less than a year. Her entire professional career spanned like 9 or 10 months iirc. Her death really messed Marvin Gaye up, he never did this kinda “happy” music after. He did an introspective album, and was still legendary. 🔥 They don’t make music quite like this anymore!!

When I look at her, she reminds me of Taraji P Henson. I bet Taraji would do a great job portraying her in a movie. I know someone already did. Ijs
I remember when there was talk of Jesse L Martin (from the Law & Order tv series) starring in a Marvin Gaye movie/ biography/stage play, but it never came into fruition for some reason.
In 69" I was 8 years old and remembered having a crush on her and Maralyn McCoo"
Both of them died too early

One of the best duets of all time!
Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Luther Vandross , Teddy Pendergrass, Otis Redding….. there’s some really great music out there! 🤌🏻🇨🇦
100%
Don’t forget Sam Cooke. I LOVE LOVE Otis, his voice is like butter
James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, Barry White, Bobby Womack
As a younger adult growing up in Memphis more than once I found myself still awake from a crazy Saturday night on Sunday morning in Al Greens church cause I just needed more music
@@kikivon3501 folks these days need Sam Cooke in their lives truly a great
Love this collaboration between these two! Tammi died from brain cancer and it was sudden. It really tore Marvin up. 😭 RIP, Marvin and Tammi
Without all these great artists there would not be the artists of today, real talent and they did not need auto tune.
YES
Shame how nowadays what’s considered “talent”
Is auto tune, shaking your rump and talking about murder
Marvin Gaye what a beautiful voice. I'd love to see you guys do more of his songs if you haven't heard them. Great video as always guys!
The oldies but goodies. Soulful and real singing and real lyrics.
Masterpiece by Marvin..RIP Marvin...❤️
One of my favorite songs! No one sings it like Tammi and Marvin!
Guys need to keep digging into the 50’s-80’s… So Much Great Music!!!!
Speaking of which: You liked Bobby Hatfield singing Unchained Melody? Well check out "bobby hatfield-Summertime 1965" - even better!!
Two fantastic voices with such a beautiful, romantic song. 🎶🎶❤️❤️
Marvin, my favourite Motown singer of all time, dude was incredible.
This a beautiful timeless song. Tami and Marvin were gone too soon.
Their voices melded perfectly.
I just love watching you young men!! You make my day! Appreciate great music 🎼🎶 and keep it alive!! Bless all of you.

Marvin Gaye is such a classic voice. His dad is the definition of "I brought you into this world and I can take you out"
true. And sad
React to Eminem - my darling / you’re never over / castle / arose
im sorry i died laughing reading this 💀
Marvin Gaye's dad was a cross dresser!! He use to wear his wives clothes..He and Marvin never got a long 😢😢
The reason Marvin Gaye added a E to the back of his name was because he didn’t want to be associated with his father who throughout his life abused him

LOVE you guys listening to these old 70’s tunes!!! THANK YOU!!! Takes me back and reminds me of times long gone. Keep it up!!!
Al Green is The GOAT!!! "Love and Happiness," "Let's Stay Together " "Take Me To the River." Love you guys! Happy Healthy New Year!

Tami was talented and adorable. Lots of us girls in Philly copied her hat style that she popularized. They were great together!!
So beautiful. I really like this song.
Tammi Terrell died from a brain tumor at the age of 24. She endured 8 surgeries before passing away. Very sad. Beautiful voice, so talented
Brain cancer as a matter of fact 🥹
How cruel is life sometimes
I remember when I was a kid discovering “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. Then I found out about Tammy Terrell. It was too sad seeing a vibrant, talented person had a short life.
These two must be in love
Those looks..
Always evokes strong emotions
Forever in my lexicon
Two talented beautiful people 🙏🏿
Such a great song brings back alot of memories. Marvin Gaye is the sh*t. Another talented young man gone way to soon.
This is one of my all-time favorites.
I met Marvin Gaye in England when he was on his last European tour. He was such a lovely guy . I was completely shocked when we heard of his death at the hand of his own father. So so sad .Bobby Womack...omg you need to play Harry Hippy
I love Al Green! 😅
Your vibe on this one was, as you say, “different” lol I loved it!

It was 1984. Just the day before Gaye's 45th birthday
When I heard about Marvin Gaye was killed, I went into labor with my first born.

Such an unbelievable tragedy. 😢 Such a loss for the world of music. One of the best voices God ever blessed the earth with. And Luther Vandross was awesome as well. Marvin Gaye and Tammy together were magic.
Oh Marvin ,you had soooo much soul, it was CRAZY.......Peace and Love
I’m from Michigan and Motown is so treasured here. I love this!
My childhood was singing this song with my Grams every time it came on the oldies station ❤️❤️

In 1982, Teddy Pendergrast was paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident. He also has a wonderful voice
You know how to make me feel old, 66 years. I remember how now how much I loved these two. RIP Marvin and the sweet beautiful Tammi. I wanted what Tammi was wearing, epitome of cool.
I love music. I look at y’all and your just bobbing your heads and smiling and I realize I’m doing the exact same

I just hit my teenage yrs once the sixties dawned ...I was there when music of this caliber first came out...there was good and bad goin on then just as now,however the spirit of the music helped to ease all that pain...Ty guys
Marvin Gaye was older than 25 when died. Do Diana Ross next. "I'm Coming Out!" The beat on that song is hard ASF! Thats a straight banger!!!!
Awesome duo - back in the day when artists could actually sing...
My mom raised me with Motown music as one of the myriad genres she grew up with playing in the background doing house chores. She had some vinyls and one was Tammi Terrell. I remember thinking how strikingly gorgeous she was but then there was that voice too.
This song is fire!! Thanks guys for the reaction.
Excellent reaction, guys!! Motown is my all time favorite music.

This was performed in Montreal at Expo 1967.

When music was real ..playing real instruments, and real people with really beautiful voices ...NO A.I.!
Whenever I hear this song I feel like watching Sister Act 2❤❤❤.
I loved hearing this in Remember The Titans.
This sure sounded great coming out of my dad's AM car radio back then. The whole radio lit up.

when music was happy and uplifting and made you feel good. No b-words, no n-words, no h-words, and no f-words.
"The correlation is nowhere on the same planet ..." you guys got me rollin
Liked so I can come back when I'm sober. You guys seem to have an interesting a varied library of reactions.
