Perfect album tbh. It’s crazy to put that many classics on one album
Absoulte banger of an album, nothing comes close. Love it.
A classic of ALL genres.
A classic I fucking love Marvin Gaye, so I was so excited to rate this one This man is so down bad but I am so here for it. Amazing soulful album not one song misses 10/10
A classic for a reason!
this album aint just sexy as fuck, it IS fuck. for real though, every song has this same vibe while being very different from each other on structure, melody and arrangements. shows how marvins music could be as sexy as revolutionary, on the whats going on album
Excellent album, I will have to get it on vinyl. Easy to listen to, can definitely see myself chilling out and putting this one on.
Marvin will make you feel something. Pause. No I meant it. This album is up there right behind Whats Going On for me. Much different vibe (all love songs) but still the same passion. Will never get old
Sexy Album!!!
Such smooth and groovy music. Really enjoyable listen. Marvin has an amazing voice.
A smooth and well crafted album to play over and over again, loved it
This album fucks. Now you may think I mean it's smooth, sexy and full of funk and all that's true. This album evokes that feeling when your on a date and you realise that both of you have decided to sleep with each other and then spend the next 30 minutes sending increasingly provocative signals to each other. 10/10 will be seduced again.
Absolute masterpiece, not a bad song on here and reminded me of how amazing of an artist he was, will be on the rotation in my life for years to come
Non-Christians may have an issue with the God-centric core of the album, but this is a dense soul/jazz mix with one of the greatest singers ever.
Ah, Marvin Gaye. *swoon*
Mauh <3
Such a seminal album. I could listen to this all of the time.
Just fire
Yeah. This is amazing
Tolles Album. Jeder Song erotischer als der Letzte. 5*
For my money this is one of the best "soul" albums of all time. Certainly in the top 10.
I've heard the song, "Let's Get It On," but without the context of the whole album, the classic R&B just doesn't appeal to me. However, listening to the entire album, it really is amazing, flows so well, is performed perfectly, and obviously has had such a huge impact. For me, I'd probably put it at 4 stars, but I have to give it 5 stars for the impact and influence.
loved it
One of the best all time classics...
Smooth
I mean like come on
Music is life. First one, amaizing !!!! Waiting for tomorrow proposal!!!!
Many good memories of my college days.
5 stars!
There's a lot of music I haven't heard, so it's possible that there's a sexier album out there than this. This one's surely up there in the rankings though.
A lot of great songs - I remembered most of the album. Been many years so a delightful reminder of how awesome Marvin Gaye has always been. Many used in movies, so will be familiar to most people.
Crazy to think Marvin Gay single handedly invented sex in 1973 by dropping this, unironically bangin album 🔥 Intro is iconic, love the beanie cover where it looks like he's holding a massive invisible rock Let's get it on is much more interesting and intricate then the memes would have you believe. Best Song: All of them Worst Song: None of them If I should die tonight sax player / 5
Masterpiece album, If I Should Die Tonight gave me chills
9/10 музыка для кайфа и чилла

Marvin Gaye slays
I've listened to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, but this my first time listening to this album. I was immediately blown away by the title track. I've heard "Let's Get It On" countless times, but usually when I hear it, I'm trying to make sex jokes and sing the 'wah-wah' guitar parts. But this song is incredible. The singing is passionate and oozes sex, and the musical arrangements are incredibly rich and full of little details that add to the depth of the sound. The album kept it up on the next track,"Please Don't Stay," with some excellent percussion, and even more fantastic signing. The opening strings on "If I Should Die Tonight" provide a sharp contrast to what the album had sounded like so far, but the song brilliantly shifts into a slower jam. "Keep Gettin' It On" was a brilliant reprise of the title track, and I liked the political lyrics featured in it. I loved the bongos and cymbals on "Come Get To This," and "Distant Lover" had a great bass line and some great distorted guitar sounds as well. To close out the album, there were some great saxophone parts on "You Sure Love To Ball" and the slow "Just To Keep You Satisfied." This album was fantastic from start to finish, and I really loved listening to it. Let's Get It On is a shining example of soul, and shows why Marvin Gaye was of the best singers and songwriters of the seventies.
Perfect Rainy Day mellow chill album gotta play this more
sex album
Love this album, such a chill vibe.
Another classic!
Solid front-to-back
Smoothest
groovy
Another artist I was somewhat familiar with but my expectations were exceeded. Let’s Get It On was better than I had remembered and each song I was nodding my head to. Very soulful and enjoyed thoroughly!
Let's Get It On - oh shit this song 1/5 for eharmony or whatever using it. Please Don't Go Away - okay very chill very music to have lots of sex to. (4/5 for fu(n)ck) If I Should Die Tonight - RnB is literally all just sex music huh. (3/5 sex) Keep Gettin' It On - shout out to HBomberGuy's new video talking about plagiarism having this song in it for three seconds. that's how i know this song now. woo (4/5 it's a more upbeat song for hitting on a lady) Come Get to This - okay. please your woman sex song. (4/5 i think this guy likes sex) Distant Lovers - oh is this a sad love song. yes (3/5 these are slow and kinda boring for me) You Sure Love to Ball - this is just sex again. i have been fooled. (2/5 my ear got fucked i think?) Just To Keep You Satisfied - this definitely puts a cap to the album. this was 40 minutes of fucking. i guess i'm hrony now :/ this is 40 minutes of Aphrodite reincarnate Marvin Gaye talk about how much he loves fuckin. 5/5 the point was made perfectly Marvin Gaye. i get it.
An perfect Soul Album if you ask me Marvin Gaye has a really strong Discography and never does unecessary long albums!
I want some good lovin'
Classic from the first note 🎵🎶🎶
1973 a great year for music. An unparalleled blending of soul, funk, and sex.
Let's Get It On- 5/5 Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away)- 4.7/5 If I Should Die Tonight- 4.8/5 Keep Gettin' It On- 5/5 Come Get to This- 4.9/5 Distant Lover- 5/5 You Sure Love to Ball- 5/5 Just to Keep You Satisfied- 4.3/5 Total- 4.8/5
Brilliant, I give this 5 stars because it really defines a sound..when people think of sexy soul this is basically what you imagine.
What a fantastic album. Soul, funk, R&B, pop...harmonious, sensual, masterpiece
The horniest record of all time.
Ну что за бальзам для моих ушей! Особенно после предыдущего альбома )) Вязкий, сексуальный, лиричный, идеальный для зимнего вечера
Classic and love it!
Great album that starts Strong and keeps evolving throughout the sounds
Too short
I was conceived while this album was playing, I remember it distinctly.
I luv Motown
Smooth and beautifully produced and arranged.
fire
Classic
❤️A sexy time classic!
Sometimes the stupidity of, and lack of creativity by, the human race really disappoints me. All those endangered species??? Simple to fix! Just put them into a room, dim the lights, and then play this record. Problem solved! There will be baby rhinos, pandas, and things running all over the place in a matter of months. In fact, this record is so potent, that as I played it, I felt my vasectomy reverse itself.
A stone cold classic.
Babies were made is what I'm saying.
Lovemaking the album!!
Excellent for what it is. Kinda soft listening, romantic, lots of saxaphone. Classic.
A beautiful bookend to the Stevie Wonder, a pretty much perfect record
I absolutely love it!!!
Phenomenal. Can’t believe I never listened to this before!
Loved it. No comparison.
Clássico demais! Marvin Gaye o maior dos românticos.
This album hit me hard instantly the first time I listened to it. It had so much impact and staying power. One of my absolute favorite Soul/R&B albums! 9 out of 10
So glad we got both of the Marvin Gaye albums, and that they were in the correct timeline order. Both of them are different, yet show the similarity that he knows what he is doing. A brilliant musician, and I can see why these albums stand the test of time and are RIGHTLY included on lists like this.
Just solid all the way through. I’m a fan.
Pretty damn good especially after reading the background for this album. Im between a 4 and 5
“You know how we just made one of the most influential, groundbreaking, and important albums ever?’ ‘Yeah?’ ‘What if we followed it up with one of the sexiest things man has ever created?’
love
It’s a classic. It’s not the best album of all time, that’s a nonsense, but it’s a great album.
Marvellous
Sexy-time!
Beyond criticism. An extremely important album musically politically socially and culturally .
This moves. A change of pace alright. SO DIFFERENT to the turgid stuff in this part of the 1001 list.So slick and lush and almost painfully sensual (this makes the mainstream stuff others were playing feel cold and remote...an aside on album art - fonts aside - the cover photo is modern, still). This album moves... what a voice, and style. tight band. If this is his first attempt at funk, he nails it. ... and he isnt even at "sexual healing" (that was 10 years later!) , but he is on the topic already, as captured on the wikipedia page for this album. ...this deserves to be on the list. and I like it. An easy, so easy, 5 and I am just 3 tracks in.
It's easy to think of the title track as almost a cliché of 70s smooth soul, but listening to it fresh and in context, it's hard to deny how compelling it is. It is the jewel in the crown of this album, which is a sensuous and rapturous template for so much slow jam, lover man soul to come. While the remaining tracks might not rise to the level of the title track, I find is a consistently great album to listen to all the way through. I would listen to Marvin Gaye, here at the height of his powers, sing the telephone book. This album is not quite as great as What's Going On, but this would be a career pinnacle for almost any other artist. 4.5 stars, rounding up.
Incredible album, could argue as one of the best ever. Loved it
Smooth, Jazzy and Funky. Amazing stuff. I loved every second of it.
Classic Motown soul with James Jamerson’s velvety bass lines
Love the funky guitars and string instrumentation, incredible side 2 on this one
Oh man this record is so good
very good music! I like it a lot! Thank you!
Flawless, barely a note out of place. Could listen to it all day (and did!).
Nobody makes albums designed to be good for fucking anymore. 5/5
motown's biggest masterpiece
Rating: 10/10
I’ve probably heard this more than any other album ever. This time through I tried an experiment and listened to it more as a metaphor about bringing more love into our lives in every way. Of course it’s an album about sex and romantic love. But I think Marvin had a much broader version of love in mind too. He’s pretty straightforward about it at times but also I think he just had his love dial turned up. Try walking around with the security of If I Should Die Tonight (if you can manage it), the openness of Let’s Get it On, and the joy of Keep Getting It On, and the world is a beautiful place.
Relaxing, beautiful
Absolute CLASSIC! So much soul in this and it never gets old!
Lovely steamy
Top 50 in music history, though.
Marvin Gaye died years before I was born, but goddamn if he didn't just make sweet sonic love to my ears.
I've heard many Marvin Gaye songs but have never delved into his albums and I regret it. Only 8 songs long and not a single one of them is a dud. As much as Gaye dove into social and political themes on his "What's Going on?" album, he made this a romantic, sexy-time album. It's amazing how he can transition so quickly between what each albums was focused on. This is a must-listen.
Must be the pinnacle of this sub-genre of seduction soul. Perfect craft.
already heard 9/10 (?)
Best easy listen music, super smooth. Super sexy
muy excelente
Fantastic. Love the baseline on “Please Stay.”
I’m a new person now. This album changed me. Possibly the most sensual album I’ve ever listened to. There’s a raw sexuality to it but when the strings or the sax comes in it adds some sort of romance to it. Such a simple thing to base an album off of but it does it so completely. The jazzy and funk inspired tracks blend seamlessly with the ballads. Essential listening!!!
Muito bom.
Damn this album is smooth as hell. Classic, of course. But Marvin was a next level talent. RIP to a legend.
Great album
Un de mes albums préférés ! Tout simplement un classique qu'il faut avoir écouté dans sa vie ! 5
Hadn't heard the album before. It's great
один из лучших соул-альбомов за всю историю. бессмертная классика, которая удивляет и по сей день.
Excellent album all the way through. Amazing vocals, amazing groove, great songwriting, tons of soul, everything just sounds perfect.
Just all so smooth
First time. Very nice. Easy and romantic.
Beautiful, legendary stuff here
This is just so good, damn, what a strong start.
Love this album. The mood is perfect and the singing is too. I don’t have a single problem with the album. I honestly think it’s perfect. 5/5
Classic album, one of the smoothest sounding things you will ever hear. Best song: Distant Lover, Worst song: Can't pick
His voice is the embodiment of smooth.
Smooth
Featuring such songs as "Let's Get it On, "Keep Gettin' It On," and my favorite, "You Sure Love to Ball," this is a steamy album. Its liner notes even refer to "one's genitals." Soulful and sexy, this is fairly perfect.
It did not hurt my feelings at all to listen to these smooth sounds. So sexy!! Honestly, there were a couple of moments in my multiple listens that I had the thought that some of the lyrical content was a little over the top for me, but it didn't stop me from starting the album over again once it finished.
Making us all want to Get It On is what Marvin Gaye does best.
Listened to this all day on repeat… work was never so sexy.
damn dude, I didn’t realize how much of a legend Marvin Gaye was 10/10 - the deluxe edition is awesome
Smooth, sexy and sweet. The music casts an irresistible spell. There’s also an air of melancholy over a lot of these songs. There are a lot of lyrics about wanting a lover back or yearning for a new love who hasn’t quite agreed to “get it on” just yet. The closing track “Just to Keep You Satisfied” captures this romantic sadness exceptionally well. What a voice. Just impossibly, superhumanly beautiful.
Very romantic, and sexy record. Probably the #1 record that most people think of when they think of sexy music. It's in the title. Marvin Gaye has a wonderful, soulful, buttery smooth voice. Easy 5/5
It doesn't get much better than this, because it CAN'T get much better than this.
Absolutely beautiful album from a complete legend of music. I never wanted this album to end. Favorite track (non-Let's Get It On division): Keep Gettin' It On
Classic Marvin, the dude was a genius
Pamaypay!
A masterpiece.
Very good
fav songs: lets get it on you sure love to ball just to keep you satisfied please stay if i should 5.0
I’ve had sex before
👌
One of the most iconic lovesong albums in existence. Very good.
"I've been really tryin', baby.." The album that layed the blueprint for the slow jam.
Love it
A classic. This album helped to move Marvin away from his Motown roots and develop a more soulful sound. His mix of funky beats and sensual lyricism also helped to influence the new wave of funk and R&B music of the 70s and early 80s.
prince of the soul
Jag säger Ja! Bara för smörigt, att jag måste tycka om det. Förför mig med den och jag är din!
sad he didn't get to continue making beautiful, soulful music.
A classic. Perfect vibes for hanging out with alex for the afternoon :'). Listeneed to the deluxe version on spotify which definitely took a minute haha. Highlights: "Distant lover", "lets get it on".... duhh
I feel so HORNY and RESPECTED RN. DAMN. 9.7/10
So gooooooooooooood
One of my favorite albums.
LP
Fabulous album. Still stands up to scrutiny now and a joy to listen to. What a voice
OoOoOoOOOOOOOO. I feel a little uncomfotable listening to this in the morning of a work day. but oooooooo Let's Get It On has gotten countless hopeless fools laid so its irresistable. Marvin's upper register is woah! If I Should Die Tonight is a great song.
What am I gonna do, give this less than five stars or something? C'mon!
this man is so horny!!!!!!!! but he’s nice with it!!!
Someone should try having sex to this album - it's that good.
You already know who it is
Goat
duh
I mean it’s Marvin Gaye
The hype is real, yo.
Following up the most important and powerful album in then-recent memory would be a daunting task but Marvin turned this album into an ode for sexual magnetism and raunchy good times. Yet another step in the right direction in a decade where R&B and Soul found its footing and stamped its legacy. Essential listening.
Motown classic. I think there is not much to say.
Perfect soul album, simple as. Gaye is a master of fitting in just the right number of sounds, and each one seems distinctive on top of it. The runtime makes for an easy fit, but every minute is rich. And there's a slight bend toward tragedy.
Cool!
vibes were impeccable - bonafide classic
Mmm hmmm.
The Prince of Soul! Marvin Gaye will forever be a soul legend. I love the way he combines his passionate singing with so many instruments into one of the most memorable sounds in music. “What’s Going On” is one of my favorite albums, and this comes pretty darn close to matching it. Easiest 5 star I’ve given so far. Favorite: Keep Gettin it On
One of The best all time
I've heard this album plenty of times, and it never fails to surprise and intrigue. An all-time great.
Amazing!
I very good album
OOH ik geniet hier zwaar van
Hot damn, he's got soul.
Precioso
Marvin. Yes. Beautiful.
Comment unnecessary. But I'll say it anyway: utterly brilliant.
Finally mother fuckers. History will eventually come around to realize this or "Here, My Dear" is Marvin's best album. The fact that he was able to take his unprecedented daddy issues and turn them into a joyful document encouraging the world to enjoy sex is something of a marvel. Marvin Gaye was so exceptional he even did all of his own background vocals here.
Come Get To This is my favorite song in the album which as a whole contains great R&B. Reminds me of sitting on a rooftop in the city watching the sunset.
Glorious late night soulful grooves.
Sensual, soulful, funky. This album has it all. Loved every moment of it. My favourite songs were Let's Get It On, Keep Gettin' It On and You Sure Love To Ball.
Great album. Every song is great, a classic. Really hits a groove. So much soul & emotion.
Fantastic from start to end
I've only heard the first song, wasn't expecting a story through the songs
Classic. Always has been.
amazing album..one of the best.
Classic Marvin Gaye album but I think I enjoyed What's Going On more.
Top
Good stuff. Definitely strongly themed around the album title.
This is a blast to listen to. Marvin Gaye, you knocked it out the park. The vocals are sublime and dreamy, the falsetto is incredible. I've enjoyed every song so far, nothing more to say.
The slow music with the great melodic vocal. It's a good combination of listening and relaxation.
Yes please.
So much passion in this music. It’s hard not to move and sway when listening.
Listened to it all the way through, multiple times! So good.
Marvin Gaye is a king and a saint. And I will listen to anything with his name on it.
That'll put ya in the mood.
Great listen Friday morning
Pure sex. The album that is playing in my head whenever SHACK is in smelling distance.
A classic, near-perfect album. The title track alone is worthy of 5 stars.
A classic for a reason
super good all the way through, with such a strong start
Discazo de principio a fin
Un clásico precioso
Álbum reconocido a nivel mundial debido al primer sencillo del álbum. El álbum sigue una línea general de ritmo e instrumentos, pero nunca se vuelve aburrido
Beautiful album all throughout. Excellent voice and songs. 9/10.
10/10 A solid set of tracks all the way through. An old favorite for sure.
Epic
Big sex energy
Never disappoints. I think there are more bangers on this album than pop culture will admit. Let’s get it on is great. But this whole album was great.
Perfect soul.
A classic and always excellent.
MOre singular and personal than what's going on. Sweeping compositions on all the tracks. Super layered sound.
Real love songs that really fit the mood
Stellar
Really dug it.
Tight, very sexual
Simply an incredible album
Excellent R&B (and SBFM) album
This shit a classic. Let's get it on is an ultra classic. The sound is just so perfect. Gaye is just so perfect. I dont know how you make something this smooth. 7/8 favorite song: Distant Lover.
Love love love
Mega lækkert album. Smooth AF. Lutter gode numre
Simple tunes but a stunning voice and style.
Groovy jams, thought provoking lyrics that still resonate today
Loved it. Followed it with Ain't That Good News by Same Cooke
A classic 5/5
he really did get it on
Great album
Mmmmmmm
Horny, and I'm not just talking about the brass section. A deliciously sexy soul album from front to back. 4*
This is probably an objective five star, but it's not what I gravitate to.
I've heard the title track before, but I don't think I've every listened to the whole song, never mind the whole album. I liked it, very smooth. But is this a concept album about sex or just a very repetitive album? It's only a half hour long, but none of the songs really stood out for me. It started, was 30 minutes of very similar music, then ended.
This was really fun. Kind of a long EP, exploring a single motif.
damn i really loved this one 4.5/5 but that moan in "you sure love to ball" caught me off guard tho
I have paintings of three artists hanging in my office. Marvin is one of those. This is a high mark album in his career. Its style, sound, and lyrical content influenced so many.
Yessssss!!
The title track got me pregnant. The fact that it spawned a sequel, "Keep Gettin' It On" three tracks later, shows just how playful Gaye could be. If there's any critique, it's that it's kind of a 1-note album. It's a fun note, but it's still 1-note.
Oh hell yeah, this is an awesome album. It's a great pick-me-up first thing in the morning...(;
very boogie
I don’t love this one. Following up the political masterpiece of What’s Going On with this sexually charged album. There are some great tracks here but it doesn’t always come together for me. I know that it’s not necessarily a popular opinion but I love I Want You after and feel like that really brings it all together.
Every song is a certified jam. The smoothness just lets you glide into whatever you are doing as you listen. A hard 4. Probably 4.5.
Wow, sensual😈
Sexy in a way that is good to listen to. Smooth instrumentals and vocals. Cohesive. I would have liked it to be a bit longer
I only knew Let’s Get It On and no other songs from this album. It was perfect to listen to on a rainy road trip.
really mellow sound. great lyrics. the production too really enjoyed
Really good, some iconic songs and he has such a great sound
Classic soul single Let's Get It On and many good soul tunes.
ts got me feelin romantical
An absolute free-spirited and horny summer vibe. Some songs sound like they were definitely used for the end credits of a romantic comedy.
This is the Abbey Road for monogamist sex albums. It’s important that such work was put towards the bedroom ambience. It shows they had their priorities right. I tagged no skin in my teenage years but I can imagine those that were skinning’, the equivalent to this album was “Views” by Drake. Yuck
If there was any questions about your grandparents’ sex drive, let this album put them to rest. The pheromones are fuming from my speakers. Love this album. It’s smooth, you can sing and dance to it, and you don’t really want to play it around your parents… Unless you’re Oedipus, I guess.
Smoooth
Great album - going to rate it a 4/5. Starts off very well but I thought the last few tracks were slow and a little sad - kinda left me on a downer after the beginning of the album. I’m usually not one for really sexual albums but this one felt slightly better. Old school sexy is way better than modern day sexy. My favourite part about this album was the waa waa effect of the guitar.
Oh I’m excited for this one I feel like Keep Gettin It On is better than Let’s Get It On Solid album all around
This would be top rated just for let's get it on
The most sensual, soulful, groovy-ful Gaye yet. 4/5
Smoooooth
Listened to this on my lunch break. By the time the album finished I had adorned my desk with a velvet table cloth, lit a candle, bought myself a solitary rose and drank half a bottle of Bordeaux. Thinking of asking myself on a second date tomorrow.
I like this album. It's a really nice vibe and Distant Lover is beautiful. But that's just it. I feel this album is great for setting a mood and listening to in the background, with how smooth it flows. But its not really something I would choose a song to listen to, except for maybe distant lover.
James Taylor and then Marvin Gaye. Finally. Overall, this 1001 albums list has been disappointing. And I’m on something like my 900th album.
Album #108: Let’s Get It On - Marvin Gaye Genre (W): Soul, R&B, funk Singles: Let’s Get It On, Come Get to This, You Sure Love to Ball, Distant Lover I have not listened to this album before. Thoughts?: What a beautiful and sexy album. I love the string arrangements and Marvin Gaye’s voice. I also love the theme of the album too. Marvin Gaye is awesome. Favorite songs: Let’s Get It On, Please Don’t Stay (Once You Go Away), If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Distant Lover, You Sure Love to Ball, Just to Keep You Satisfied*
Este Marvin es un tipazo
This is clearly just a vehicle for Let’s get it on. The other tracks are barely even songs.
Horses for courses, and on particular courses this is a 5. However, on a day to day basis its a 3.5 (but im upgrading)
omg it’s That song
it was my first time to listen a full album of marvin gaye. his music is not my kind but i've both enjoyed and appreciated the album.
Bra! Titelspåret är ju episkt förstås. Gayes röst är fantastisk! Jag gillade Come Get to This mycket, en låt jag inte lyssnat på tidigare. Albumet är väldigt sexigt och väldigt smooth. Cool artist med ett tragiskt slut.
Marvin is always interesting to listen to. So musical, and sang his emotions so clearly. The title track is an all timer, and the rest hold their own. Good stuff.
Solid. Most of the weight is in the opening Let's Get it On -- what a banger of an introduction to the album. The rest of the album kinda sags until the end. Was really excited to hear You Sure Love to Ball; never heard it and it was a great way to end the album.
Timeless
Let’s Get It On: 10/10 Please Don’t Say (Once You Go Away): 8/10 If I Should Die Tonight: 7/10 Keep Gettin’ It On: 4/10 Come Get To This: 3/10 Distant Lover: 10/10 You Sure Love To Ball: 2/10 Just To Keep You Satisfied: 10/10
Horniest album of all time
Not his best but that’s a crazy high bar. Great!
“Oh baby, you sure love to ball.” Mr. Gaye ain’t talking bout Abdul-Jabbar, he’s got one thing on his mind throughout this smoldering LP.
cuando cachirula dijo un álbum para hacer el amor se referia esto
Dope
The first song was so random to listen.
Well, it was good for me ... LOL, in fact - it was over way before I wanted it to be. So smooth.
Very well done, with a great bass tone. A little too on the nose at times though. 3.5/5.0: Very Good
incredibly smooth
Man, It's Marvin Gaye, ya know? Not a huge fan of the style, but it certainly doesn't suck. And he is one of the best.
Beautiful mood, great music
Lots of awesome familiar songs on this album. A few average ones. But a good listen.
Fire, classic, sexy, sad.
let's get it on??? whatchu tryna say?
its an album for a date. i can see the candles with wine and a little bit of darkness, very very in love
Vwen alvwm para kojer.
classic rnb
Wooooow the funk and pure lure to this. Marvin gaye after some stevie wonder.. having a blast here
In which our hero waxes poetic about the healing powers of (sexual) love. While understandably lauded as one of the greatest hose albums ever, on closer inspection it is a somewhat quirky beast. The three obvious come-ons (the great title track, “Let’s Get to This” and “You Sure Love to Ball”) are all presumably aimed at then-current love interest Janis Hunter. Then there are three hesitant unsure inconfident tunes (“Please Don’t Stay”, “If I Should Die Tonight” and “Distant Lover”) aimed at God-knows who which completely alter the mood/feeling of the album. The album closer, “Just to Keep You Satisfied” is a cover of an older tune reworked into a lament over the breakup of his marriage to Anna Gordy. Good tune, but a definite downer to end the album. Which leaves the odd side 1 ending of “Keep On Gettin’ It On”. This is in the form of a long outro to the original backing music of the title track. It probably would have worked well as an album ending reprise, but in its current position sounds more like a space filler than anything else. The music is great, the arrangements are great, his voice is amazing. Four stars.
good stuf for starter
Ass a bass player, this album is a wet dream. It's also some of the best R&B/soul/funk I've ever heard. Fantastic album.
Yes, it’s all the same song, but it’s a great song, isn’t it? Best track: “Let’s Get It On”
Made me happy when I saw it. One of my favorite veins of music. He’s a king of music, not just his niche. This album is smooth & full of soul…everything he makes feels like it’s coming from the bottom of his being. A pleasure to listen to over and over again.
Estaba entre 3 y 4 estrellas, pero me gustó bastante, es un 7 puntos.
This is a great album and no album sounds more like love and lust than this but it literally feels invasive listening to it. The start of “You Sure Love to Ball” just makes me uncomfortable, it’s like listening to someone have phone sex. Why would I willingly listen to that?
Great baby making music. My gf's head popped up like she heard a mating call.
favourite - just to keep you satisfied no notes
What a voice. I got a kick out of "Let's Get It On" being followed up a few songs later by "Keep Gettin' It On." "You Sure Love To Ball" is a jam, too.
very smooth, perfect for starting the day
