Marvin Gaye
Got To Give It Up to Marvin Gaye!
It's April 2nd... his birthday
He was complicated. A talented but a Trouble Man
Left the world tragically by his daddy's hand
The anniversary of his death was yesterday
Make Me Wanna Holler that he was taken away
And that voice! When he sang "Let's Get It On"
It made you call your Distant Lover on the phone
Whether we Heard It Through The Grapevine,
Or saw you in person... Mercy, Mercy Me! The women knew you were fine
Got To Give It Up, though. Even the brothas loved you
Sexual Healing was a major comeback that benefited them, too
Marvin, you left us 24 years ago yesterday
But through your music, you're still with us. Ain't No Mountain
High Enough to keep you away
