He made such classic hits, but I can't imagine how many more he would have made had he not been taken away from us so early. Rest in peace Marvin Gaye.
Aretha Franklin is my most favorite female singer of all time...Marvin Gaye is my most favorite male singer of all time. All Hail The Queen and King of Soul! =)
I really love them too. Both of them, alongside Little Richard, Mahalia Jackson and Patti Labelle, their voices and music are all about joy, something divine words cant explain.
That's Sandra Lee Akaka (not Shiela E, as many have guessed). Akaka is living in Hawaii and still playing percussion (facebook.com/photo?fbid=10208763761474226&set=a.1585569401983). Although it appears she's also selling skin care products on the side. On her Facebook page, she says that was her "first big gig out."
Yes, no kidding! I was living in Zurich at the time and I used to go to Montreux every Summer. This was Marvin's only performance in Switzerland ever and as you can see he killed it! They played all his hits and then some..... That same year (1980) I also saw B.B. King, Van Morrison, The Brecker Brothers., James Brown and many more. For 2 and a half weeks it's just one great concert after another, and often the Performers end up jamming together onstage. The best Music Festival I've ever seen!
Of course it did...it was old then. Notice how I said "still funky then"? I know good and well that song was old in 1994. I just remember having it playing on the radio when I was in labor. I've always loved the oldies because they remind me of when I was little and times were much more simple.
This is done RIGHT! If you think otherwise,stop typing and listen again, you might learn something. I think some people are missing the boat on this one.
I would love to know who all is still alive from this band, including back up singers. This was such a great ensemble. I've watched this performance soooo many times and it still makes me smile and dance!!
My man is DOIN' IT in that red jacket!!! Ha haaaaaaaa!! Do it Marvin!!! Makes me wanna write somethin' in this same tempo. Clarence Clemons twin on sax. LOL! Who is that beautiful conga player? Marvin goes to work on his feet at 7 minutes!!! AWESOME!
Back in the late 70's, I worked the 3-11 shift at the factory. We'd head to the bar and play pinball for beers. When this song came on....I was in the GROOVE!! Rackin up the extra balls....I LOVE this song!! RIP Marvin!
The whole band is tight! And I love the male backing singers just giving it their all! Loving their moves too! Thank the Lord for video footage like this, so everyone can enjoy Marvin's legacy!
First listened to this song in 1977 on the radio then my older brothers' 45" LP I was 11 years old I haven't been able to get it out my mind April 2 would have been marvin's 83rd birthday April 1st is the 28th anniversary of marvin's murder Marvin changed soul music forever with his hypnotic voice he really was my generation's legacy of r&be songs r.i.p. Marvin you're still admired & missed very much!😓🙏
Hi everyone from knoxville, Tennessee☺. Marvin Gaye was so sexy .His voice , his talent ...i will always love and appreciate his 🎶 music. I do like the slower recorded version better ; but it is nice, and appreciated to see him live in concert too. I've loved old school; funky music my entire life, and my opion... was the best kind if music. Jam on people , stay safe and have a blessed evening. Sept. 25th. 2020
If I have to try myself, I will, but we need another extremely talented entertainer like Marvin Gaye. That's what the 2000's and 2010's need. Enough yapping aside; Marvin's THE MAN. Wonderful voice, amazing songwriter, and I'll be damned; the Motown girls say he danced like a white boy but I can't say he ain't gettin down as we speak Not to mention he decided one night at a party to record this hit?? 'Nuff said
I love to see the live performances where they have male dancers and background singers instead of how it is now with the half-naked hoochies on the stage. Love this! Old school at it's best!!!!
This is THE song!! This takes me back. This was the kick off song for our summer cookouts that lasted ALL night until the morning. When this song was played the party was about to get CRANKED up!
Marvin is the greatest. How many artists has he inspired? The voice for the people. Still is for me. Pay attention young fools this is what music really is.
Yes Talent speaks Volumes and that is no longer what we get.We are being Ripped off With the constant barrage of Wannabes that get ridiculous cash for Drilling into our 🪥 Teeth!, Or just screeching Nonsensical blobs!😊
awesome voice!!! LUV Marvin Gaye...I am starting to realize that the majority of the great artists and musicians and vocalists have passed on..BUMMER..
Marvin Gaye !!!!!!! The background singers, band of this video are absolutely ELECTRIC. Wished I could've been there !!!! Thanks for this. Also this highlighted Marvin's expertise at the art of singing "falsetto"...Gotta shake your booty to this !
Dedicated to my ex-husband, the father of my two children, now sadly deceased, RIP HP,Jr.! The trumpeter, with the green shirt is now trumpter for the incomparable D'Angelo, working also in the horn-section with Roy Hargrove !
This song is my ringtone on my phone. Marvin Gaye is timeless. I remember dancing to this song while I was laboring with my first child...1994! LOL! It was still funky then and is still funky NOW!
Wow time warp! This awesome, even though this came out 2 years before I was born, I was raised on Marvin. Seeing videos like this makes me miss the original MTV lol. 80's live on!!
I wish I could hear this better - I'm new to UTUBE nation, so there's got to be a way ... I'm so hopped up by all this music I can actually get my hands on, I'm so happy I could just .....whatever, this is one of my favorite jams of his.
This is soooo classic! I love it! The background singers were jamming! I love Marvin Gaye - he was my mom's favorite is this was her favorite song! Makes me dance anytime i hear it!
This was the classic dance song from the late 70's and it still is as far as I'm concerned.If you can dance all the way through,you are really in shape!!!
Oh my gosh I just loved this song. Marvin was the man.He could sang about love like no other and get down like this.Totally an amazing talent who is missed everyday. There will never be another Marvin Gaye.Todays music just doesn't cut it. Pure Garbage. Give me the 50s-80s any day. The best music era there was. RIP Marvin you are still the man and your music lives on through all who loves you. Jam on brother.
Marvin’s music either moved you or made you move ! ( Or Both ) You gotta Love this 70’s song even if you didn’t like Disco “ You’ve Got to Give it up” , for Marvin Gaye for all his great music, and more that he didn’t get to make due to his early death !!! We miss you, We Love you, We remember You !!! We will keep you alive thru your music !!! Never gets old ….p here on July 2021 !!!
He made such classic hits, but I can't imagine how many more he would have made had he not been taken away from us so early. Rest in peace Marvin Gaye.
It’s the thing isn’t it , Lennon, Hendrix , Cooke , redding..
Could go on, what might they have done
The greatest R&B entertainer ever. Unmatched stage presence.
He was holding the 🌎 world.... When MARVIN GAYE passed away the PARTY WAS OVER .. SUCH TALENT AND GREAT MUSIC!
He was one of the few R&B artists in the USA to use CONGAS (Latin Percussion) in his music. Today's artist don't even know what a conga is.
I thought the congas were African.
Amazing, absolutely fantastic, great Legend of soul 💪❤️🌹🙏
Aretha Franklin is my most favorite female singer of all time...Marvin Gaye is my most favorite male singer of all time. All Hail The Queen and King of Soul! =)
I really love them too. Both of them, alongside Little Richard, Mahalia Jackson and Patti Labelle, their voices and music are all about joy, something divine words cant explain.
This performance is one of my favorite and the song was one that I enjoyed ...still listening in 2021
Me too in 2023!!!!
2024
Me too, from the original performance and including today February 2024 until infinity ♾️
Leave out the biased comments and just enjoy the man and his talent! This is the ultimate dance video!
She's really going for it with that Cowbell!
Sheila E I believe.
Sheila E I beleive.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
More Cowbell Please!

I love that everyone on stage looks like they're having the time of their lives! I want to be in a band like that. :)

Can’t stop playing this.
Che si può dire....è stato il migliore di tutti..... he was the simply the best, thanks Marvin.
That bass playing is on fire sahnnnn
Absolutely brilliant ... So funky, what a top groove 👍
Laser voice precision. What a freakin legend
Miss Sandra you are still appreciated!!
This is a concert I wish I was alive to seeing him perform live.. This was a show
Of course it did...it was old then. Notice how I said "still funky then"? I know good and well that song was old in 1994. I just remember having it playing on the radio when I was in labor. I've always loved the oldies because they remind me of when I was little and times were much more simple.
Pure Genius!
Roll the Dice on and on and on So cool and romantic - for all of our days
This is done RIGHT! If you think otherwise,stop typing and listen again, you might learn something. I think some people are missing the boat on this one.
That Red Jacket is Killer!!!
The only fraction of soprano voice and handsome visage that can keep all the neighbors gratefully up all Saturday night!
The one and only Marvin Gaye they’ll never be another RIP, my brother ✊🏾✊🏾
I would love to know who all is still alive from this band, including back up singers. This was such a great ensemble. I've watched this performance soooo many times and it still makes me smile and dance!!
My man is DOIN' IT in that red jacket!!! Ha haaaaaaaa!! Do it Marvin!!! Makes me wanna write somethin' in this same tempo. Clarence Clemons twin on sax. LOL! Who is that beautiful conga player? Marvin goes to work on his feet at 7 minutes!!! AWESOME!
What a terrific song. Thanks for this post.

The very best of the best is Mr. Marvin Gaye! RIP Great man! What a performer.......outstanding....sexy as anything can get!
This MAN was truly a special talent 💯
When I was a kid, my Mom would BLAST this song on the stereo! It reminds me of her! Love-Love-Love Mr. Marvin Gaye!
Put this on at a party and no matter the ages, everybody's going to groove, the cow bell and the walking bass is infectious!
I love to see the live performances where they have male dancers and background singers instead of how it is now with the half-naked hoochies on the stage. Love this! Old school at it's best!!!!
Marvin Gaye - a master ! What a loss.....
AWESOME performance. EVERYONE on the stage is partying. The background singers.....MAAAN!!
The background singers were stepping!!!
One of many greatest of all time gone too soon R.I.P.
Homeboy was getting down with that dancin. Marvin is the Man
The godfather of R&B
I can't stop dancin', I'm on a spell.
This is what Marvin Gaye does to me
Those musicians were fantastic. And they did it without all of the high tech crap we "need" today!!!! That tells you a lot....Were a bunch of wimps.
Impossible to sit still when you hear this!
He was the top man, DON'T FORGET THAT!!
this is the coolest live performance of anything!
This is THE song!! This takes me back. This was the kick off song for our summer cookouts that lasted ALL night until the morning. When this song was played the party was about to get CRANKED up!
You fools betta recognize real music when you hear it. No studios, no computers, just real instruments and a real musician.
The lady on the congas and cowbell is rocking out . . . Mr. Gaye at his best!! Rock on.
really??? i was looking for it too, and finally tonite i found it. it´s been smashing my head since i saw the movie so many years ago
Marvin is the greatest. How many artists has he inspired? The voice for the people. Still is for me. Pay attention young fools this is what music really is.
back when artists had real talent.
Yes Talent speaks Volumes and that is no longer what we get.We are being Ripped off With the constant barrage of Wannabes that get ridiculous cash for Drilling into our 🪥 Teeth!, Or just screeching Nonsensical blobs!😊
