- On February 13th, 1983 Marvin Gaye sang the National Anthem at the NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles. Gaye's rendition is one of the most legendary performances of The Star Spangled Banner in sports history. The performance unconventionally made use of a drum machine, and Marvin made it work like no one else could have.

Lucky man
I remember watching this as a kid at 11 yrs old. I'm now 51 & to this very day, NO male has EVER did it better!! RIP Sir Gaye ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bet those people can't remember a single thing about the game but they'll never forget Marvin singing the National Anthem
lol. Excellent point. 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The only rendition of this song I've ever heard that had the crowding clapping in unison. Only Marvin could "take you to church" doing this song. Indescribable soul...
amen!
when I first say this.. I immediately said hold up... this is the national anthem... people normally are quiet ir singing along... Marvin had people clapping.. this was a concert lol
To this day nobody sung that like Marvin.
And the thing is they're are so many brainwashed and misconstrued out there in society that need to be refreshed on its value! Let Marvin singing it lead the way like only he could! Wow, he nailed it and I vividly remember his rendition as if it we're yesterday! I was 11 at the time and was watching that live! Oh and btw to all those brainwashed and misconstrued, Marvin Gaye had representation of everyone in the world! He was all about the American people getting along and when he sang the anthem that day you could feel it with each word!
@@davidhuggins3892 Many have tried and failed.
I’ve never closed my eyes to this song, until I heard Marvin Gaye. I’ve heard people cheer for this song as it’s sung but never like this, it’s as if they just heard a new song that caught them by surprise.
I get chills every time I listen to this that man could’ve sang the alphabets and I’d still feel the same way
THE GOAT MARVELOUS MARVIN GAYE. WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID. RIP MY LOVING BROTHER, YOU ARE SO MISSED.BUT YOUR LEGACY AND YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON.😔🙏🙏🎶🎶.
Wow, til this day nobody has ever touched my soul like Marvin did while singing the national anthem. RIP Marvin Gaye
Only one year later, and he was gone.
Babyface tried tonight but Marvin still reign supreme
Only Marvin can sexy up the National Anthem 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥
Georgie tried to in 2018 and she wasn't successful.
The sexiest national anthem I've ever heard
Marvin was always original...this version shows why he was a genius.
Best version of the anthem I've ever heard.
Brad... Mona I have to say Whitney Houston sings a awesome of Star Spangle Banner also Take Care December 19th 2022
Tell them about it Mr Brad the best
Yes I agree... I cannot hold my tears for the second evening in row I'm listening to this performance. And I'm in Holland, not even Americain ;-) So talented, soulfull, moving. Marvin Gay, always touching the heart ❤❤❤
I heard this live 40 years ago and I knew it would make history at that time…Still the greatest version of all time!!!!
Agreed!
Still the best version ever...Marvin was a singer like no other. RIP.
What a stumble on this on the Fourth of July. I never knew this existed. He just ripped a tear in the time space continuum with that version and over a sick Casio beat
Best national anthem performance ever
One of THE great singers America has ever produced. One of a kind.
Marvin proved he could take any song and give it a life only he could give it... RIP Brotha Marvin...
I was at this game, I remember the anthem, lady behind us was screaming, “Watch Larry Bird” most of the game.
The Great western was rockin, Marvin put some Soul in it in 83” !
Thats the Fabulous Forum
The man had a golden voice. The best.
This is the best version with the full intro and no Barry Gordy (?) talking over it. Goose bumps since I first heard it 30 years ago. This is MY National Anthem
I couldn't agree more, happy 4th.
@@1_queen_fan313Happy Belated Fourth! 😢
❗❗❗
This guy is smooth with it. Luv his version. 🎉 😊
Thank You so much Marvin for all you gave to us. I'm still missing you in 2023 & I always will. 😢
THE BEST AND WHITNEY HOUSTON 2ND
Agreed, she ripped it too.
Damn I miss Marvin Gaye!
I miss him too 🪦Marvin Gave I love you 😘❤ 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🦋🦋🦋🦋
I remember watching this game. I was 9 years old. 3rd/4th grade. Snow/blizzard outside. In the living room by myself. Mama and pops in the back in bedroom. Even then I knew it was something different and nothing I had or probably ever would see again. And yes I was a child and still knew that
Kids are very smart. Don’t dimension their perception.
@@summerbabetoowhat are you even talking about
@@jasondawson8938 That as a child you recognized greatness.
Only Marvin could make the Star-Spangled Banner a make-out song. Hell, a baby-making song!
THATS A WHOLE FUCKING FACT
I Have Never Seen Any Artist Perform The US National Anthem Like Marvin Gaye
Til this day the way Marvin Gay sung the National anthem nobody can touch it. Whitney Houston Jasmine Sullivan & recently Fantasia my top tier. ❤
THIS WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The most beautiful version to me.
He tried to get Luther Vandross to do this but Luther said no. I’m sooooo glad.❤❤
He tells the story of America, in all of its triumph and tribulation, in just three minutes.
One of my all-time favorite singers, Extraordinary talent. Glad to find --and savor --this after all these years, RIP, Marvin. Your may be gone, but your voice lives forever.
ONLY TIME I THINK I COULD WALTZ TO THE ANTHEM. Awesomeness ❤❤❤❤❤
40 YEARS. Oh my. The late, great Marvin Gaye! Still and always the greatest rendition in US history
Man, only he can bring me to tears singing The Star Spangled Banner. For Marvin to beautifully sing this song and move people to cheers & tears is still amazing. I wonder what he would think of the country today? What he would think of our hometown Washington DC? He would be singing Mercy, Mercy Me non-stop. 😥
Agree with your last sentence.
I believe he knows
DC is his home
@@corikevin Yes it is we lived in the same neighborhood when I was a child and I attended school with his siblings children. We have a Marvin Gaye Day, street and Park. We Love Marvin in DC🥰
Yes ~ Marvin would be singing
Mercy, Mercy Me
from the rooftops ❗
Marvin's version is the Best Ever Made!!!!
I think this was the best performance ever and second best Whitney 👏
Marvin was "live." Whitney was pre-recorded and lip-synced, so her version could have been tweeked, edited, and/or re-recorded.
No competition here ..."live" is better than pre-recorded.
He and Jimi, the two DEFINITIVE versions of the SSB!
I remember marvin gaye used to sing to me. He had me feeling like black was the thing to be 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man, you could tell the ladies were doing all they could to not throw their drawers and phone numbers on the court during this remix...LMBO!!! Respect and RIP to the Sexual Healer.
This brings tears to my eyes every time... So soulful, so awesome... Rest in power, my man!
Wow!!!! 😍
RIP. What immense and unique talent.
The best one I’ve heard..
Nothing like it Marvin Gaye ❤
i have the ticket stub,, DR. J M.V.P. BUT THIS IS WHY I BOUGHT IT,, MARVIN GAYE,, a true MASTERPC;;;
kevin blanch Best ever in my opinion as I was there too. What a feeling!
Both of you are so blessed. He made everyone change the style of singing this. But in my humbled opinion (bias DC native, besties with his niece) he sang it better than any that followed.
We love and remember you always, our dear Marvin.
O.M.G! crying 😭😭 Awesome redition. 🎶👏👏👏👏👏 Marvin! 🙏💕💔
His music 🎵🎶 is still going strong in 2023 may his soul be resting in 🕊️ Peace with Christ
Today February the 13th 2022 super bowl halftime I'm missing you Marvin I was pregnant with my first son when you performed something so beautiful and until this date I never had the same feelings so I do something is great is about to happen or something horrible but I'm asking to heavenly creator of my being to protect and cover my family my bloodline and all others are in a line with love empathy and compassion peace.
I can't believe it's been 40 years since this happened.
Happy 4th of July from Long Island 2023 at 9:58 P.M. EST!
Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston did it the best!
THIS man was a gift ! ...fantastic version of the anthem..God rest his SOUL!
No doubt the very best
SORRY BUT I MISS WHITNEY AND MARVIN(R.I.P. BOTH) BUT MARVIN'S VERSION JUST TAKES THE TOP WHEN SININGING THIS.WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
This along with Whitney's rendition are iconic. Christina Aguilera, Fergie, Roseanne, Michael Bolton, Steven Tyler, Carl Lewis, R. Kelly, Jesse McCartney and Kat DeLuna, take notes!
Jack black killed it underrated performance imo.
@@LiamKealy But the national anthem should be solemnly sung.
This is awesome unbelievable😍😍😍😍😍
Undeniable the best rendition I have ever heard!!! Along with Whitney Houston
Love Marvin always. Such a tragic loss. ❤
I literally learned every word to this anthem because of this version, btw, I need a pair of those glasses 🕶️
his artistry, his genious, his talent was and quite frankly, still is, phenominal. I remember this like yesterday. My family is a reason why siloque's like "die hard" exisit referencing the Lakers. I mean you can't even come to my Momma's house unless you where of the like. Lakers talk so much shit that we make people physically ill, I've witnessed this throought my life. My motown-grown parents and their sibilings and some oler cousins too all cried when he was killed; and I mean cried, we all did. I was in elementary school in the 5th grade and this was more than a snap shot memory. this all star event was watched; prime time watched and everyone was groven to this. good times. thanks marvin, rest up! and because this historical moment was at the inglewood forum, my beloved lakers, rest up jerry, rest up kobe, rest up Queen Gianna
Marvin is surely looking down on us now!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Beautiful rendition 🎶🙌
Beautiful. He learned from the best José Feliciano in the 1968 World Series
He was dead just over a year later. Such a tragedy.
With only a little over a year to live ... RIP Marvin 😢
Who would know that Marvin Gaye was singing his last ⏲️ on a national front stage 💯 in (1983) and the next year Marvin Gaye would be killed by his own Father 💯
Feel the Gospel in it
Oh Lord!! 👑🌹🙏
THE GOAT AND THE BOAT FOR SURE!
The best ever
1 more thing, for him to have smoked cigarettes and other things. His voice was crystal clear!
Marvin!
Amazing
A wonderful singer takes a banal cultural ritual and turns it into a moving, personal, soulful artistic statement
Wow
chills
❤
Sexy Marvin forever reign
Youngsters wouldnt understand
makes me want to dance instead of salute...one of the best...up there with Whitney's...
was quite a shocker that barely a year later he'd be gone
Jesus himself gave me the blessing to watch this live growing up 😭😭😭🇺🇲 #1 baby.
Wow I love Whitney Houston rendition but this blow that out the water and that’s saying something
Cool beans. I want an America that belongs to EVERYBODY. All welcome, all protected by justice and our mutual care. Is that so much to ask?
Marvin Gaye in Heaven looking at Fergie like....🤦♂️
Waaaaaaaaay better than Chris Stapleton.
Money ....
His daddy must’ve been pissed🤨
say what you want and believe, but I say Whitney Houston's version CAN NOT TOUCH Marvin Gaye's This one to me represents ALL OF US! Black White, Italian, Jewish, Chinese you name them it represents us all. Why you ask? Simple, we know the National Anthem and we all know the magic of Motown and most of all, when he was alive, at one time of another, we damn sure knew the musical beauty of Marvin Gaye. Now if that ain't unification or puts the 'United' in the United States of America, then I don't what, when, where, who, how and especially why the hell it doesn't! It's not like soul don't exist. and nobody every sang it and had the crowd clapping. So to all those before and after that have had the privilege of singing this song and any major event, god bless you all. But strictly speaking on the behalf of those who love this version, Whitney, your was patriotically good and as a an American I can appreciate that. But Marvin gave it soul, and I am just as proud to be a man of color as well as an American.
dawg drugs are awesome
Listen to Gover Washington, Jr.'s sax sing out the anthem from critical Sixers games. I'll take it as the equal of this.
Republicans today would try to put him in jail over this.
@Behind 🤦♂️😆🤣😂😅🥲
Facts 🤣😂😂
No kidding. President Reagan didn't have a complaint Must've been fine with him.
I love to see an artist being themself. 😂
In 2024 Marvin Gaye would get cancelled just for singing the national anthem HIS way. As if he doesn’t have a right as an American and an artist to do it his way 😏
🖕🏾this anthem I'm just here cause this black man sung it better than anybody and this song wasn't made for his skin tone
Would love to see this play behind President Trump as he takes the Presidential stage for a second time in 2024. Ive never not choked up like a baby when watching or hearing this version. I love my country, i love freedom and I love my countrymen. Bless us all, EVERYONE.
Feel like a sappy Little girl trying in vain to choke back a never ending deluge of tears. Beyond words… in sufficient explanation…
Please don't equate that jack ass to Marvin Gaye.
Would Kaepernick still kneel if Marvin Gaye was singing the anthem?
Drum beat is quite annoying..
Stappleton's version outplays this big time.
Sorry, cannot compare with Whitney's 1991 Super Bowl rendition.
Marvin's father's last words to his son were, "Marvin, this is the last 45 you will ever hear."
