I think I almost cried listening to this. Seriously. It wasn't a cover, it was a tribute that got every nuance, emotion, and meaning of Gaye's original, but yet it wasn't a copy, but an original that is so extraordinary, I can barely describe it, but say you've got it Teddy, there ain't no manufacturing that.
As a 60's guy, and a real Marvin fan, this cover sent shivers down my spine. Teddy feels, lives what he sings. A modern musical genius. There is a swell of admirers sweeping the world for this guy, real talent. God bless him. Marvins applauding.
As one of a generation that grew up with the great soul singers - Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Smokey Robinson and more - you are a refreshing voice in a time where we need voices like yours. I look forward to your growth and music to come.
Yes! I love R&B from the 60’s and 70’s. Today’s music just has no soul. Al Green and Marvin Gaye are some of the very best ever. Teddy is definitely a throw back to those days but with a touch of modernity. For sure my favorite singer and his band is icing on the cake!
{aka} DJ Whisper ~ Agree so very much :) I'm a 60's,70's & 80's girl myself :) In Fact my show is called "Radio Revisited" and those genres are all I play. Teddy's voice is smooth like butter!! So very thankful he chose this sound. Love it!
My mom loved the Lord with all her heart and died early at 51. As a small child I would see her in the kitchen doing dishes and she would be singing this old song. My how I miss her tonight. Hug your living loved ones and tell them how much you love them because when the Lord takes them home it will change you forever. I am 65 now but I still remember her singing this like it was yesterday. May this song bring you hope and comfort!
Isn't it odd how some people just seem to have been 'chosen' to have the most natural ability to sing, with a voice of gold. Teddy is one of those Chosen Ones. 🙏👏😎
Love it when you read the comments and it's all love and inspiration for another persons success. I wish you an amazing life. I wish you good health. I wish you kindness and inner peace.
The terrible thing is that Marvin sang these words way back in 1968...it's taken 50 years to finally wise up. Us human animals are slowwwwww to learn. Ain't that the truth, huh. The fantastic thing is... We got Teddy 🐻 Swims, and he's been worth the wait!!! Man, he is medicine to my soul ❤️. Stay true to yourself Teddy. Peace and Light Bro 🌟
Teddy, it took a lot of guts to sing this song from the master… but man, you knocked it out of the park. The best rendition of this song ever. You were gifted with soul.
I get teary eyed every time I hear this song. Your version rises to the occasion. For those of us who were young in the early seventies it’s our air that we breathe.
One of my daddy’s favorite songs. I grew up with Marvin blasting in the house so this brings tears of joy from memories 💕Thanks for this piece. Nice “WHOA” at the end😂
Damn, Teddy, you badass, bruh! I've heard hundreds of versions but nobody has ever covered this incredible song like Marvin Gaye could sing it. You...wow, that was awesome! Now, you got me looking for other covers you've done.
I have watched all of your vids and you sound like you were the person who was supposed to sing each. I am absolutely astounded. And Marvin?!!! Are you kidding? Nobody has the right to cover this song, and yet, I had tears in my eyes. Thank you luv!
Smooth & flowing!! You delivered this song. You deserve A Standing Ovation 👏 👏 👏 It is hard to sing behind Legends. This young man got what it takes he nailed it!!. A true Fan 🧸🎶
Hauntingly beautiful. Would love to hear an extended version. I always thought the original was too short. Bravo Teddy! Can't wait to see you on The Voice or AGT. Millions need to hear you brother. Your voice pierces the soul.
When I saw that someone was covering Mr. Gaye....I said to myself.....yea...right! After listening...I said...YEA RIGHT!!! You killed it! Beautiful expression and vocals.
This voice & soul- speechless. Then that little dance move at the end sealed the deal for me. That was straight from your beautiful 💜!! TY!!! New fan for sure!
Didd anyone find it impossible to listen to this only once? Teddy Power House Swims. ❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 @TeddySwims. I would love to hear any Tim Buckley cover Please 💋
This one is truly amazing. Seriously, almost no one can cover Marvin Gaye I agree with a lot of the other comments. But I’m just blown away. Teddy Swims is such a breath of fresh air, a true artists amongst a sea of fakers.
I normally hate covers. But Teddy Swims can cover anything. What a voice!
Anyone here because they are binging every video posted by Teddy and his amazing band? Can't get enough!

You gotta be a BAD somebody to even attempt Marvin Gaye!! You sir, NAILED IT!! Loving your artistry!
Isn't that the truth!? His version of Rock With You brought me here LOL.
"Let me see your driver's license. 'Cause it's gotta say 'Bad Motherfucker' on it..."
CKthomas2010 I agree my brother, Teddy is a great talent!
Nobody makes their own music anymore lol
