Let's Get It On

sexiest album ever - an insane collection of amazing tracks. Definitely more of a genre I like. Would def listen to again

jazz isn’t my favorite but this was great favs: you sure love to ball, keep gettin it on

I mean, c’mon!

most powerful opening to an album EVER?! also comedic genius to take an emotional break and then go straight back into gettin it on, obsessed with that narrative actually

Gotta be one of the coolest to ever do it, and also one of the best. I always forget how amazing Marvin Gaye’s music is, his voice has a timbre that is unmatched, it’s so full of feeling. All the tunes are cool, moody, emotional and sexy almost regularly at the same time. 4.5/5.0 Best Song: Keep Gettin’ It On

You'd be hard pressed to find a sexier album. Marvin Gaye is such an unbelievable songwriter, to the point where he is sort of underrated. He should be spoken about more, saying that i don't think this is his best. Nonetheless it still has some bangers. Obviously lets get it on is the best song

Not to be a perv but I’m genuinely curious how many babies were made to this album. Imagine having an impact on the population like that… wild

Hyvää shittiä. 3,75/5.

I love how jazzy it is, not what I normally listen to but I really like it.

Love this album. Great voice, vibes and mood.

Smooth as a babys bottom

Good!

Marvin Gaye is such an iconic artist, certainly top 10 all time for me. His silky smooth vocals combined with his talent for songwriting and influence on the (black) music world makes his early passing such a shame. This album was the start of his more funky works later on and what's a greater way to deal with your stumped sexuality by your father's upbringing than making an album like this. What a legend. I've listened to this album multiple times before and while it obviously isn't as good as 'What's Going On', any song on this album is great for any occasion whether you're relaxed, stressed or feeling frisky of course.

Album review 020 Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye (1973) Rating 4/5 Marvin’s here and he’s all about the get-down, wooo-baaaaby. He’s gonna love you… and he’s gonna make sweeet, sweeet love wit’ you, yeahhh. It’s time to turn the lights down low, and, and, and, and… ooh-wooo-oooooh…

Æ hørte ikke så veldig nøye etter, men det va gøy nok, det.

Despite loving some other Gaye albums, I’d only ever heard the title track on this one before now. Solid overall, not as good as What’s Going On? I did really like You Sure Love to Ball though

What an album. Starting off with the classic “Let’s get it on” and only getting more sensuous as it goes. Smooth R and B for all occasions. Rated 426 on Rolling Stones top 500 albums. Agreed. Going to add a decimal to the star system. 3.8 stars.

3% chance of pregnancy upon finishing this album.

Got me some Marvin! I already had this album on CD, and it's just one love groove all the way through - the title track being the masterpiece and one of the sexiest songs ever recorded. The whole album really is a continuation of that, it's essentially background music to have sex to. Maybe that's why it's only 30 minutes long. It's sweet singing, pianos and saxophone and occasional female panting. Marvin Gaye was REALLY fucking into having sex at this point in his life. Only one great song here and whilst it's probably usually ranked as his #2 album, there may be other better ones with more high points than this. Look, it's really nice throughout, a little short of the full marks, but is definitely up there as a great example of the genre. I just can't rate it the same as the very different 'What's Going On'.

Better than Coldplay

The song is iconic but this album is great. It all has feeling and emotion and sets the mood. I love "Keep Getting It On" as an accompaniment to its famous companion song along with "If I Should Die Tonight".

Short and astounding, an incredible showcase of soul and sexy music. His voice makes it feel personal, loving and filled with intention. No notes, all excellent.

A primeira música já me pegou totalmente desprevenido. Nunca soube o nome, e descobrir foi uma boa surpresa. "Come Get To This" usa um sample ridículo de bateria eletrônica barata que estragou a música. Fora isso, o álbum é todo consistente. Esse cara definitivamente tem um vozerão. Não é um estilo de música que gosto muito, mas a qualidade deve ser reconhecida. Melhor do álbum: "Let's Get It On". Pior do álbum: "Come Get To This".

Sonoridade extremamente agradável e arranjos muito bons. Adorei como keep gettin it on reseta a vibe do album conversando com a música 1. Marvin Gaye foi muito foda!

than fifty years after it's release Marin Gaye is still making sure people just Get It On. A rare album about sex, that actually achieves steaminess.

7/10… motown / soul / *1973

A soul masterpiece with touch of funk and some jazz elements. This is a timeless classic!

Marvin Gaye is a legend of several kinds of music but I'll say, primarily, R&B and soul. I'm an utter novice at both, so let's just say I'm working on better understanding and feeling the grooves he worked with. The title track is a cross-genre classic though. The rest of the record is smooth, infectious and joyful. I think what fails to land for me with R&B is that smoothness often becomes slowness, which bores be. Sexiness becomes a sleepiness (or sometimes a vague threatening-ness). This is none of that: it is interesting, vital -- Gaye pleads with the listener. Anyway, 4/5 and it's not even my jam.

Top notch Marvin Gaye.

great

I wish it was longer. The arrangements are incredible on every single song and the musicianship is great, but the star is definitely Marvin Gaye’s voice. It’s so passionate, but it can be so gentle when he needs it to be. It’s a shame this album is only 30 minutes. 4/5

Whats going on — one of my favorites

Sets a standard for Rhythm and Blues that few other artists can even approach. Influential in that it opened the door to straight talk about sex in pop music. That might have had some unfortunate outcomes (pop lyrics that are basically porn), but the influence is undeniable. I was about to give this a 5, but then changed my mind because some of lesser known tracks sound the same as the better known tracks. It’s a good sound, but there’s not a lot of diversity on this album. A 4.

Hell fuckin yes

Der Sound, den man sich bei Marvin Gaye vorstellt. Ruhig, sexuell geprägt. 4/5

The Let’s Get It On theme permeates the entire album which is, definitely, part of its allure. Gotta love Marvin’s beautiful voice, his soul, songwriting and great mastery of the studio. I especially enjoyed listening to the great bass work of James Jamerson on this recording.

Sure yeah, it's the sex album; I mean, what can you say, it's even got Let's Get It On *twice*. But what fewer people know, is that it's actually also the "lying in bed under a warm blanket with your partner, dozing off while dreaming of all the things you've yet to together" album.

I'm pregnant now Best Song: Let's Get it On Rating: 8/10 Stars: 4

So full of emotion. Gets you in the mood.

Lost in the melodies. Great stuff..

Feeling a little dirty after that.

im pregnant

This is just the most vibes album ever made isn’t it

this album has the exact sound i would expect from a marvin gaye record of the 1970s, the title track is iconic and the rest of the album is also consistently enjoyable

Even this supposed festival-of-horniness album is a window on the troubled life of Marvin. That world famous invitation to get carnal sounds, on closer inspection, like a beautifully framed self-justification that love and sex are wonderful despite what he’d been brought up to believe. Such a shame that so much of the greatest art is born of pain. Anyway I'll stick to the wonderful art itself. The focus is indeed love and sex and how they work well together, but also apart. And the album sounds just like that. I can hardly think of a mis-step in the arrangements or production, nor of course the musicianship (James Jamerson is obviously worth a mention but that is a disservice to every other player here) The music is rarely as upbeat as the title track, but it’s a massage for the brain and soul throughout. Then on top of all that add one of the most beautiful voices the world has known. Sounds like 5 stars…and maybe it should be, but I have a few minor gripes: Firstly, it’s only 8 tracks and just over half an hour and that even includes a 3+min reprise of the title track. Secondly, and I know it’s unfair to make this comparison, but it doesn’t quite reach the high bar he had set with its predecessor What’s Going On. Finally, I'm REALLY tight with maximum scores, so scandalously this is reduced to a 4⭐️

When I think about Smooth Soul, I think of Marvin.

This album is pretty good. It's a very easy listening, but yet really interesting too. I've liked it a lot, even though the last songs started to feel a little less interesting for me.

This is a man who loves getting it on and its hard to argue with his philosophy

A really great soul record from front to back. It's effortlessly cool and sexy, and Marvin Gaye's vocals just sound amazing.

Kinda glad it starts with the big obvious hit, then you get to enjoy all he has to have without the weight of something else lurking. Consistent throughout are these groovy and intimate movements in his music and it's all so interesting. Let's Get it On is an obvious hit, but his other songs hold their own and give this album life. If you need it for mood setting this would definitely deliver if that's what you're going for

I really like this album. Some songs are a bit too much smooooth soul for me but overall it's great.

Amazing

MARVIN 4.1/5

The first few seconds will have you reconsidering listening to this at work

The opening sounds of this album are so tied to the act which the song and album title describes that when I played it not through my bluetooth headphones I was embarrassed and had to look around to see if anyone heard.

Soul in its purest form

I will be fully honest. I’ve never quite understood the amount of love this record receives. I love Gaye’s prior release: the seminal concept album “What’s Going On”. That record is quite literally one of the greatest records of all time and also as an added bonus directly inspired Stevie Won’s artistic expansion during the 70s so that album gets flowers for that. Now to be clear this is not a bad record, it’s very good in that it’s generally good and there’s next to nothing “wrong” with this album but honestly I just don’t fully get it. The opening title track is the embodiment of “romantic soul song” and is an excellent track. “Please Don’t Stay” is also quite good. However the following two tracks on side two are not favorites of mine as they both fall into that slow sound and formula that this album employs for virtually its whole run. The second side opens with my favorite track on the record “Come Get To This” a wonderful song that continues the themes of sexual healing found throughout this record. However I won’t lie the remaining three tracks aren’t favorites of mine. Again, I will make clear this is a good album and a pretty damn good one too but the album feels a little tiring falling into the same formula of slow soul songs that feel repetitive lyrically, outside of a few standouts this album wasn’t my favorite Gaye album

It’s Marvin what’s not to like.

Formative. Sexy. Brilliant.

I wonder how many people are here because of this album. Iconic opening. Feels like a 3 overall, but first track is so iconic, it has to bump it up a little.

Much better than Gaye's post divorce concept album, but still not enough to get a five. A solid four.

A classic. Now my whole office is in the mood....

Sexy

Strong themes, great songwriting, what else is there to say?

Love me some Marvin Gaye. Not as good as what's going on, but still wonderful. 8/10

Amazing album, full of smooth soul

I know there's a double meaning in Keep Gettin' It On, but evoking Jesus's name when saying people need to start getting it on was an awkward choice for the more likely interpretation of the song. This album was way more enjoyable than the other one, really nice jazzy soul. I may not listen to this again, but I liked it

Sadly, I had a great review of this that I didn't save. I continue to think that it's too bad Marvin Gaye is pgeonholed into being "The Sex song guy", but this album is genuinely really inescapably sexy ("What's Going On" is the album that should lead to him having a more nuanced image) Fun story, I walked into my office and immediately started playing this album before making sure my headphones were connected. My officemate fortunately had headphones on (and might not have the cultural context to be offended) but it was almost super embarrassing. Anyway, this is a great album. Good work Marvin. Maybe just a touch more variety next time, but at 31 minutes you can get away with a lot.

This album is smooth as hell and I was deeply concerned with listening to it in the office lest anyone judge me for listening to it. I get why it is understood to be sexy (and it's certainly better than the other sex song we've had (here's looking at you Fred)). With that said, I think my 4-star rating is mostly an acknowledgement of its cultural significance. That's enough for me to round this 3.5 stars up to 4.

OMG. Love this. The perfect sound for a relaxing Sunday in autumn London. Yes, we‘re all sensitive people with so much to give. — How sweet and wonderful life can be!

yeah, i could get pregnant to this

My guy really went from What’s Going On to this horny shit in 2 years. Slaps

How can you not enjoy this album?

Great record, but mood wise not where I’m at this week.

An R&B and Soul standard. Over 50 years later and that hasn't changed at all. Just as vital now as it was when it came out in 1973. Favorites: "Let's Get It On", "Keep Gettin' It On", "Come Get To This", and "Just To Keep You Satisfied"

So good. 8/10

Great, but not his greatest.

I had something pre-written but I didn't save it right so I'll be briefer. Historically important album, Marvin Gaye is a legend although I prefer What's Going On and his more socially conscious stuff. I just prefer soul music sung by women over men as a personal preference.

A masterclass in being smooth.

marvin gay😼

This causes me immense psychic trauma as a man who is simultaneously afraid of intimacy and obsessed with James Jamerson’s basslines.

Sexy time

Like his political songs more, but still great stuff

Another compelling project I found it quite fun with enjoyable rhythms 8 out of 10 for me

let's get it ok halt de schleimig sex shorthand. aber es isch GUET. so seriously sehr sehr guete song. so es isch funky d backings sind sooo geil ufem rechte ohr. drums soooo cool. kenn glaub keis anders lied vo dem album. please stay isch sehr de smoothi marvin gaye womer kennt mit bongos und so sehr sehr geil. das album isch afoch no jamerson. insane. if i should die tonight het au de volli motown sound huuuere schön. und er siiiingt. aber isch halt de schnulze type marvin. keep gettin it on isch afoch e fortsetzig haha. afoch no meh horndawg. come get to this au biiitz horndawg irgendwie au. just to keep you satisfied seehr schnulzig sehr cheminee musig. sehr sehr guets album, find d slow jams sind mir zu slow und d funky tracks sind defür super. title song natürlich hammer.

👽

Unc still got it

Marvin, mon gooner préféré.

Секс. Лучшая песня - Let's Get It On.

superhorny

Title song is the song you think of when someone tries to imitate a porn soundtrack with a "bow chikka bow wow" wah wah sound.... Its sensual, dirty, horny, all them things. lay back and get your post listen cigarette ready, you'll need it.

I think I liked this one more than the 80s album Maybe a 4?

Klassiker! Riktigt mysig tända ljus middag vibe! Köp

Classic gettin it on song album.

this man is amazing! love distant lover!!

So so good and so so sexy, as expected

Great work of art , definitely gonna revisit this one

classic

Very smooth!

Masterclass complète.

Just vibes

It's good isn't it? Not quite as good as What's Going On, for my money but, still ....

good but not What’s Going On level

Best Song: Let's Get it On This is a good album. It is pretty short and almost feels like an EP. The title track is its highlight, after that it kind of all sounds like one long song. 4/5.

Pretty good!

Sexy

Some cool soul, at the start of the album I get another one of those moments where I recognise a melody but never known where it came from until now. Anyway yeah liked this one. 4 stars

I may be reading a bit too much into this, but if I’m picking up on the signals correctly, I think Marvin is interested in getting it on.

pretty good

I need to wait for an evening with an S.O. to listen to this all the way through. It honestly feels ridiculous listening on my own or while working. But that means it nails what it's trying to do.

I'm loving Marvin Gaye. However, I still think that his other album was better than this one.

I heard D'Angelo a little while ago, if that was baby making music, this will rock your world. We start off with the very well known title track, and we can expect that energy all throughout. Well composed, well performed, I would snag the record. I could've given it another listen to start enjoying those subtle background details. 4/5

Beautiful 70s soul, funk. Will never be my genre. Fantastic vocals.

Moins bien que What s going on mais banger quand même

Good

I love this album about as much as I love this album cover. I really like the album cover.

Wonderful album about making love. Specifically getting it on. Instrumentals are lush and perfect, vocal performances are tender and perfect. Great listen for the right mood and time. 3.85/5

This is wonderful. So much packed into just over 30 minutes. Really wonderful.

Love Marvin Gaye, and this albums great. Only wish it was a little bit longer

Sensual soul

Great, more to the artist than I thought.

Be careful with this album. I listened to it while at the grocery store, and now I’m pregnant. And I’m a guy, so…

Beautiful soul music!!! Loved it

A fun little listen. Because “Let’s Get It On” is so well known, it’s a little comical to hear it as track 1. However, it really set the tone for an album that explores love and intimacy on both physical and emotional levels. The influence is obvious- I was constantly reminded of Prince and Thundercat during this listen

It's a great album. But musically too close to "What's going on". Except the 2 last songs - which I enjoyed the most (except the women's moaning - I never understand why someone would add this)

The title track is a classic, and his voice is great. 4 stars

4.5

A classic. I really like his sound.

"Marvin, Marvin, it's Chuck. Your cousin, Chuck Gaye. You know that sexy ass sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!" *Holds out phone as Marty slides up to the mic. Great stuff. Great voice. He finds his way into your soul and stays with you the entire album. The titular track will make the playlist of course.

I mean, for what this is, it's excellent.

sehr schön!, bei arte gibt es gerade die miniserie small axe, daran musste ich denken :) https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/120058-002-A/small-axe-2-5/ e Let’s Get It On! "Außerdem führt dieses Lied die Liste der besten Lieder für ein romantisches Abendessen an. Der Übernachtungsgast, der diesen dezenten Hinweis nicht versteht, kann wohl getrost als uninteressiert aussortiert werden." https://shorturl.at/yaO3U ;) c

Actually nice listen. Classic.

A little too one note for my tastes, but there is no denying the sheer force of nature that is a Marvin Gaye song.

smooth, sexy and emotional. Just how i like it

This is a great album, all bangers. Incredible vibes.

SOUL. Another all-time soul classic from one of the goats, this time bringing us essential babymaking jams.

my clothes flew off as soon as I hit play. I can't believe this album starts with THE babymaking song I will say, it's great when you get an album that really opens your eyes to where modern artists get their inspirations. I swear I could hear some Anderson .Paak on some of these songs. Standouts: Let's Get It On • If I Should Die Tonight • Keep Gettin' It On

man when that first note hits you just know you're in for a great one

I prefer (and assume we'll see?) What's Going On... but this is still a great album.

I've already listened to his album (8). The prime years of Marvin Gaye.

amazing and soulful

Soulful and smooth, his vocals are unbelievable, this is very much an easy listen album

A classic.

Oh yeah, now this is the Marvin we love!

This guy does not know how to make bad music.

Excellent album, though the saxophone solos do get a bit much for me at some point

Music for making babies

very good shit.

Ahhh, lets get it on...

I could feel the 70s shag carpet as I listened to this album. I will never be as smooth or sexy as Marvin Gaye but this album let's me pretend I am.

Surprisingly short! There's a joke in there somewhere...

This album was a great old school r & b album by one of the greats! Very very much what I think of when. I think music for getting it on too haha 😂 but over all good album

not as good as What's Going On but still great. What a voice. I got pregnant listening to it.

A controversial album due to the almost illegal levels of sexiness. Initial measurements with a standard Sex-O-Meter™ immediately pegged the needle, unbelievably more than a full Barry White. Continued measuring caused the meter to explode. Caution is advised while listening. Damn. Excellent album by an amazing artist.

Groovy and brief. 4/5

Zalige stem, goeie band en arrangementen. Mss wat veel van hetzelfde. Toch 4 sterren

Always fun

Música que você escuta na hora do boombayah

Heard of them, never listened to them. It’s ok

romantical marvin gaye

Okay yeah this was sexy, almost cartoonishly so at some points

I'd like to thank this list for helping me discover my love for Soul and Motown Now I can go nick all me Nana's CDs lol

I am somewhat familiar with Marvin Gaye, though the songs I know are not on this album. The only song I knew from this album was Let’s Get It On.

Otro disco que pensé que ya habia registrado acá. Como ya han dicho, este disco es sexo hecho música y no hay nada de malo en eso.

Sweet soul music.

The frustration with Gaye's album is how singles-focused they are -- when they're good, they're GOOD

If sex were music, it would be Marvin Gaye. This is probably him at his sexiest. Also the title track is like a jumpscare if you forget that it's on this album. Solid album, definitely worth a listen.

A good soul record. The title track is legendary but I'm always fond of its sequel that most people don't know. I really like this one. Maybe my favorite Marvin Gaye so far.

Loved it

Perfect album!

I prefer protest Marvin Gaye to sexy Marvin Gaye, But this was a relaxing listen. After having sung all of those songs, I really hope that he did get it on and it was worth it.

To state the obvious Marvin Gaye has a beautiful voice. Hard not to like and a great Sunday album. Only slight reservations about being a bit one pace with 2 tracks ostensibly the same on 30 mins. What a nice sound though. Low 4/5 (7/10)

Play anyone this album and the descriptive word that's likely to come to their head first is "smooth." Damn this is a smooth record. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone with a pulse who finds it objectionable. Marvin Gaye sounds deeply in love and out of that made one of the all time most romantic LPs of all time. Its a shock when it ends after only 30 minutes but I admire Gaye not stretching beyond the hits.

Its a solid to high 4 for me, could have been higher if it covered a bit more ground I find it a bit one note, even though i do enjoy the one very well done note

Not sure why all the hate for this, it’s a landmark album for both funk and soul and explores some complex themes about sex, love and longing, particularly given the context of Marvin’s upbringing and abuse. On the surface, there’s an extremely sensual sound that no doubt influenced more modern R&B, but whereas that took it at face value, running with the sound alone, Marvin’s sincere lyrics give the all important balance and depth that much of that genre lacks. It was also a controversial album given the subject matter and was deemed as a huge risk for Motown to even release it but it gained both critical and commercial success and showed a markedly different side to Marvin following his much more well known and politically themed album _What’s Going On_

Look the guy knew what he wanted

Surprisingly short album but enjoyed & researched about Marvin with Tierney

I enjoyed this album a lot! Classic tracks, well produced. Been getting a few soul records in a row this week, and I think Isaac Haye's Hot Buttered Soul is a better overall album, but Marvin is always great

Not my typical genre but the quality of this album shines through. Hard not to like it.

4.5 stars. The album is well put together. Marvin Gaye is a fantastic artist.

#DÍA 22: 1001 Discos Que Hay Que Escuchar Antes De Morir (English Translation Below) En segundo lugar, un lento y romántico LP del mismísimo Marvin Gaye. De esta leyenda del Soul sólo había escuchado su aclamado What’s Going On, un albumazo en toda regla de Soul Progresivo. Este es su posterior LP y presenta un estilo más directo de Smooth Soul, con perfectos grooves sensuales para bailar con mi amada. Como cantante, Gaye es todo lo que se puede pedir, tenía un rango sublime y una capacidad expresiva que le llevaba de la máxima suavidad a una desgarradora pasión en cuestión de segundos. Por otro lado, no es un proyecto tan ambicioso instrumentalmente como lo es What´s Going On, pero tampoco es lo que necesita, pues son canciones que piden un acompañamiento en su punto y que permita moverse como les salga del cuerpo a los oyentes. El tema de apertura es legendario y creo que prácticamente todo el mundo ha escuchado la intro, no es de extrañar que se haya usado tanto para memes, Don Peake hizo que la guitarra pareciese ligar con nosotros… Es una canción apasionada como poco y un clásico innegable. El resto de la lista de canciones no considero que lleguen al nivel, pero no deben dejarse de lado. Por ejemplo, la letra y la voz de Gaye en If I Should Die Tonight son realmente poderosas y crean una situación cinematográfica, algo que ocurre más de una vez en el LP, como en la triste pero realista canción de clausura: Just To Keep You Satisfied. Pienso que fue un error de mi parte escucharlo de día, considero que son todo canciones que pegarían más fuerte mirando melancólico por la ventana en una noche lluviosa… Pero no tenía otro momento y es verano, no llueve ni patrás. Fuera de bromas el álbum, aunque corto, termina siendo algo monótono, no tiene la versatilidad de su predecesor y no hay tantos momentos memorables al menos tras una primera escucha. Aún así, es un más que sólido disco para Gaye que muestra en nuestras narices su talentazo como cantante. Favoritas: Let’s Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Just To Keep You Satisfied Menos favorita: Distant Lover #DAY 22: 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Secondly, a slow and romantic LP from none other than Marvin Gaye himself. From this soul legend I had only heard his acclaimed What’s Going On, a full-on masterpiece of progressive soul. This is his follow-up LP, and it presents a more straightforward smooth soul style, with perfect sensual grooves for dancing with my beloved. As a singer, Gaye is everything one could ask for — he had a sublime range and an expressive ability that could take him from the utmost softness to raw, heart-wrenching passion in a matter of seconds. On the other hand, it’s not as ambitious instrumentally as What’s Going On, but that’s not what it needs to be, since these are songs that call for just the right accompaniment and allow listeners to move however their bodies feel like moving. The opening track is legendary, and I think practically everyone has heard its intro — no wonder it’s been used so much in memes. Don Peake made the guitar sound as if it were flirting with us… It’s nothing short of a passionate song and an undeniable classic. I don’t think the rest of the tracklist reaches that level, but it shouldn’t be overlooked either. For example, Gaye’s lyrics and vocals on If I Should Die Tonight are truly powerful and create a cinematic scene — something that happens more than once on the LP, such as in the sad yet realistic closing track: Just To Keep You Satisfied. I think it was a mistake on my part to listen to it during the day — I feel these are all songs that would hit harder while staring romantically out the window on a rainy night… But I had no other time, and it’s summer, so it’s not raining at all. Jokes aside, the album, though short, ends up feeling somewhat monotonous; it doesn’t have the versatility of its predecessor, and there aren’t as many memorable moments, at least after a first listen. Even so, it’s a more than solid record for Gaye that puts his immense talent as a singer right in front of our eyes. Favorites: Let’s Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Come Get To This, Just To Keep You Satisfied Least favorite: Distant Lover

Smoooooth

Marvelous stuff from Mr. Gaye.

One of his best albums! Banger songs, get you groooovvvvyyyyyy.

The rhythm section!

top notch.

There aren’t any profound ideas here, I guess. But when an album is this velvety, who needs profundity?

Feels like I've picked up this whole album by cultural osmosis. Good album! Kanye sample jumpscare on Distant Lover. Overall, 4/5

Album art:2

Smooth as silk

Mercy mercy me I need a cigarette after that. Let's Get It On has the wonderful quality of having a beat that makes for steady, purposeful hip thrusting.

Get it on, the quintessential fuck song, puts the album at a 3 by itself (plus have a sequel that's message is "keep fuckin'", pure genius). But I really should say making love, because although the topic is base, Marvin's sultry, emotional voice caresses the topic and the musical composition is such vulvety perfection.

mais calmo que o what’s going on. um pouco menos interessante. mas muito bom, sem duvidas

My favorite one so far! Love Marvin Gaye and will definitely listen to songs from this album again!

Probably too horny to be listening to at 6am at work, but banger after banger still!

Always felt he is overrated but I was wrong tried to listen to most albums and its good but nothing that made my life change. This album specifically has a special groove that lasts the whole album with a vibe thats tough to equal. I dont love the falsetos yet feel this is a top album for that genere

sexy time activated (it's really 4,5 stars)

Freaky mfer

Are you kidding! Let's Get it On. First note grabbed my full attention as it should. Soulful Marvin. Loved it.

Marvin Gaye has really grown as an artist for me through this list. His second album on the list for me, and this is a solid one, though perhaps not absolute stellar. Though 'Let's Get It On' might be one of the most well known and overplayed love songs (along a few other songs from Marvin), it's still one hell of a tune. And his singing really makes it shine! The other songs on the album don't stand out as much, but I have to say I really enjoyed most of them. 'If I Should Die Tonight' for example has such a good melancholic chord progression that just works great with the guitars and Marvin's singing. Though lacking of hits, and certainly an album that lyrically feels quite "thirsty", I liked this a lot. Perhaps not an album that I will come back to instantly or remember as a particularly good one, but I enjoyed listening to it a whole lot more than a many other albums on this list. Think I will let that be the decider for the album rating!

The album is good, but it’s hard to ignore the over saturated love R&B ballads on it. While they sound great (it is MARVIN GAYE), some songs can feel way too overly cheesy and cringey. Other than that, this is a good record.

One of the sexiest and smoothes albums Ive ever listened to.

you hear let’s get it on and it’s great and you wonder if he can keep it up, if he has the stamina to last. he does, and it’s good, but it’s all basically the same song.

Me listening to this sexy album alone.

This is one of the sexiest albums I've ever listened to.

This is soul at its most seductive. Marvin Gaye turns desire into poetry, layering smooth vocals over lush, sensual grooves. It’s a masterclass in restraint and emotion, where every note feels purposeful. Not just a slow jam album — it’s a deeply human record, equal parts vulnerable and confident.

Brilliant soul album

Lugnt o skönt

I really liked the album and was impressed with the vocals and jazziness.

Nice album! 4/5

I like it. Not sure I will ever listen to it again.

Первая песня классная, расслабляет, качает. Ну нормик, но что за стоны вначале одной из песен?

Funky

Love Marvin Gaye. However, this one isn't quite as good as What's Going On? Still solid though. 3.5/5

Horniest album so far - and I have listened to 2 Prince albums

I’m pretty sure a couple of people were conceived because of this album. Just a hunch. Weirdly enough, my man problem with this album is that it’s too, uhm, sexy. As someone who really enjoyed What’s Going On, this one felt less smooth and more groovy. Honestly, at times, this really felt like bedroom music, which makes causal listening feel awkward. God forbid you don’t listen to this while doing it and instead driving home from work. The Gowanus Expressway doesn’t need to hear that woman on You Sure Like To Ball moan. Outside that though, it’s still Marvin Gaye. When Marvin hits, he hits and sets the standard for r&b to come. It’s not as close to perfection as What’s Going On for me, but this one still raises to the occasion… Yeah, that’s a bad joke. Favorite track: Let’s Get It On Other hits: Come Get To This, If I Should Die Tonight, Distant Lover, You Sure Love To Ball

Easy, comfortable music. Nice and slow and sultry.

För typ 6 år sen så spelades lets get it on när jag gick in i ett rum en gång och jag tyckte det var så bra intro-bakgrundsmusik så efter det satte jag den låten på repeat när jag gick hemifrån så jag alltid skulle komma hem med samma vibe och det höll på i typ en månad eller två kanske

7,75

Not much to say about this one other than it’s essential for all fans of soul/r&b.

The OG Baby Maker. The Fire Starter. The Bed Rocker. The Potato Masher. The Bo Jangler. The Clam Shucker. The Meatball Grinder. The Floor Creaker. The Muffin Muncher. The Taffy Puller. The Tongue Twister! I once saw a stat that between the years of 1973-1975, 1 out of every 8 children was conceived to this album. Get freaky, grandma! Of course I just made that statistic up, but I bet you believed it. It doesn’t get much smoother than this, folks. Not something that I’d put on in day-to-day life, but when the mood is right… is there a better choice?

ZERO 808s and and slide notes so had to mark down Aside from this very good

Smooth as silk. What a voice, what a vibe!

very amazing, he has beautiful voice and the bass.... oh honey, so good you you can put it on a hat

Lets Get It On has an amazing vocal performance from Gaye on smooth and satisfying instrumentals. I loved this album, very easy and enjoyable listening. Lyrics are super sex-infused especially in the title track. If I Should Die Tonight and You Sure Love To Ball are personal highlights of the album.

Let's Get It On é um disco muito coeso e uniforme, esbanjando sensualidade, boas melodias e a performance vocal exuberante de Marvin Gaye. É um disco sem nenhum momento ruim, soando redondo durante toda a sua (curta) duração. Os arranjos de metais trazem um ar de sofisticação e a banda ajuda a trazer o groove sem espaço para excessos. É um disco sem dúvida muito bom, mas sinto falta de momentos mais arrebatadores, algo que me cause um arrepio. O destaque fica facilmente com a faixa título, bem como sua reprise.

"Let's Get It On" é um disco bem homogêneo, no sentido que umas músicas se parecem entre si, musicalmente e pelos temas, compartilhando essa vibe sensual e romântica. Como é um álbum curto, consegue manter a atenção e entreter. A faixa título é um clássico e um bom exemplo da entrega vocal do Marvin Gaye.

So many layers of lovely. Big ol' sexy orchestra. Where's my silk robe at

Super funky and chill. Sunday morning jams.

Idk I just enjoyed it tbh overall

Talk about a horny album haha. I love the dichotomy of this and “What’s Going On?”. Scathing social commentary versus ‘hey girl let’s get all the way down’. I know there’s a deeper, catharsis behind the album in reality; but it’s just interesting to me, and speaks to his breath of topics he can be so well versed in. Not to mention the music is perfectly funky and R&B-ey.

What a horn dog. My fave track was Just to Keep You Satisfied

Marvin gets his strange

Man the 70s were sexed up eh. Song after song that will inevitably end up on some poor sod's romance playlist for that first night with someone. Bangers though, all of them, in more ways than 1. 4/5

Right up my alley but nothing extremely noteworthy imo after the single up top

Sexy

Amazing R&B. Marvin’s voice is unbelievable

Let’s Get it On. Enough said. Classic.

would

This one puts me in the mood to make sweet love to my honey and fuck all night!

Marvin! One of the best voices ever! Dug the album. Many a baby made to this record!

I didn’t listen to it all but I do like what I heard

4/5. After reading some context in regards to Marvin's life, these songs are much more powerful. It is a therapeutic process of a man recognizing his worth and that his past trauma does not define him. You almost can hear that he is not talking to anyone in particular, but rather using his voice and music to move through these emotions. As far as the full album goes, it's powerful and he takes his time with each one, but it does slow down way too much at certain times that takes away from the experience. It's a great album but it does not land all the way through. Best Song: Let's Get It On, If I Should Die Tonight, Distant Lover

Not my favorite album from Marvin but still a classic.

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on A short album A sexy album

Well the highlight is certainly the title track, really love that song. Great album overall, and a good 4 stars for me.

Rating: 4/5 | Favorite Track: If I Should Die Tonight --- Marvin Gaye is by far one of the greatest musicians of all time. While I don't love this album nearly as much as What's Going On, this is still a lovely listen with Gaye's excellent vocal performance and lush instrumental arrangements.

I listened to this twice and now I’m pregnant. And I’m a guy.

Yeah, this is a classic. Not much that needs saying here, it's just good. Shrug.

His voice is amazing. the first 3 songs were incredible. But then I think the rest are far weaker. Still a great album 9/10

Thumbs up, thought provoking

Hahahahahhahahhahhahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahaahah

Zeggen dat dit album wat gladjes is, is een aardig understatement. Ik ben hier helemaal niet van, die gladde soul-jazz-rnb haast porno-achtige meuk, maar als je het dan toch moet luisteren is dit wel met uitstek hét album. Met een krappe 32 minuten houdt ome Marvin het ook keurig netjes binnen de lijntjes en dat maakt dat dit zeker een goed album is. Zoals ik vaker zeg is dit dus niet helemaal aan mij besteed, maar voor een keertje helemaal prima. 3,5 tot 4 sterren. En toch voel ik me vies als dit luister.

Enjoyed it 👍

This is now the 3rd album by Marvin Gaye that I've listened to as part of this project. That's all of them from the list. The music is soft and gentle and very soulful. I can't listen to that all the time. Too much of that sweet enamel gives me a toothache. But in the right mood and in between, I really like the music. 4/5

Great album, but I like the soul stuff more than the 80s stuff

Ooohh so sweet. Takes me into a time warp of a mid-70s summer groove. The sound is perfection. Mr. Gaye is buttery smooth and so so horny. I had to laugh when I thought “this one track is beautiful, soulful - what’s it called?” and it was “You Sure Love to Ball.” Yeah you do.

Marvin’s sexual prowess on full display, a full half hour album dedicated to fucking, basically. The funk pops right off the page with this one, and Marvin’s vocal range is incredible. The backing band are on point for the entire album, and it’s a true joy. I wouldn’t say my favorite album of his, but a classic indeed.

10/10

Muzyka do uprawiania seksu, nie ma się co oszukiwać. Gladka i śliska jak olej. Głos sunie po dźwiękach jak wąż. Trochę to dla mnie przytłaczające. 7/10

First song is a classic romance meme. Whole album is calming, mellow, relaxing.

Sploosh

It's the title track and the only Marvin Gaye I know, but Let's Get It On! Gaye's voice is obviously fantastic and this album wraps you up like a warm blanket. It's a little slow for my taste but it's definitely a nice listen. Instrumentally this is a nice album as well. It's got tight drums, funky wah-wah guitar riffs, sax, and piano parts a-plenty. And clocking in at about 32 minutes, it's a perfect taste of everything. Standouts for me were: "Let's Get It On," "Keep Gettin' It On," "Distant Lover," and "You Sure Love To Ball." Honestly, any of the tracks could be standouts on this one with the exception of the final song, which was kind of a slow bummer at the end of a very good album. I went into this listen thinking it would be a straightforward 3 star experience: very likeable with some good fun tracks that I enjoyed but probably wouldn't revisit too much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had with it. Enough that I think it's a clear 4 star album. I would definitely put this whole album on again, but I'd have to be in the right sorta mood...

❤️

An album that's hard not to like — it's just so incredibly easy to listen to and smooth. Maybe it borders on cheesy, but somehow it doesn't put me off; that's how well it's done.

cannot go wrong

Babymakin music…

Good stuff

Marvin Gaye is a national treasure. Let's get it on will forever be a jam -- reminding anyone when it comes on that love is indeed supreme.

Really good

6.5/10 General : chill Favs: Please Don't Stay Once you Go Away; Keep Gettin it On; Distant Lover

A solid and groovy album! I would definitely listen to this album again and recommend it to others!

Porn.

I don’t often listen to soul or Rn’B but I always have time for Marvin Gaye. Fantastic songs & voice

Too many soppy strings for my 2025 ears. Gaye’s voice is perfect though.

Mmhm

Let’s get it on!

Iconic. No notes

It is like an awakening of sexuality and freedom. 4/5

I like my funk a bit funkier, if that makes sense. This is just a bit too smooth for my liking, however that voice is fantastic of course. Plus the oversexed them tips over into cringe at times. Want to give it a 3.5

Great album for some romancing. A classic certainly from the first song and similar theme across the rest to the album.

Another Marvin Gaye album where the title track wipes the rest in quality, but when its that good, does it even matter?

i'm not sure if it's crazier that this guy died because he was shot in the chest by his own father or that in his relatively short time on this earth he was able to release this much awesome music

Mellow, sexy, etc.

freaky on a tuesday morning

Another user wrote "this album oozes soul". I totally agree, but it also oozes sex.

The one-two punch of let's get it on and keep getting it on are almost too much for me. This guy loves to get it on. Great vibe and overall feel of the albums, fun bass, guitar, strings and horns. Really enjoyable album overall. Can definitely see myself getting it on to this. Very classy album given the subject matter.

Get it on, Baby! Probably just liked it for the memes. Smooth and easy bass lines too.

Good

More of a What's Going On fan, but you can't beat Let's Get It On for sexy mood music.

i think i'm finding out from doing this that i actually really like soul

Proper Motown.

By 1973, Marvin Gaye had already proven himself a visionary with What’s Going On, but Let’s Get It On marked a clear shift in focus—from political consciousness to pure, unfiltered sensuality. Where contemporaries like Stevie Wonder and Curtis Mayfield continued tackling social issues, Gaye leaned into something more intimate, turning soul music into an adult experience. This album helped redefine R&B, pulling it away from Motown’s polished pop sound and into a deeper, more expressive realm. The title track? An all-timer. A masterclass in seduction, draped in a warm bed of electric piano, gently weeping guitar licks, and sweeping strings, all locked into a slow, hypnotic groove. And then there’s Marvin—pleading, teasing, pouring every ounce of desire into each note. It’s in the running for the best title track of all time, full stop. Beyond that, Come Get to This delivers an irresistible burst of joy, Distant Lover aches with longing, and You Sure Love to Ball leans fully into the album’s sensual atmosphere. Keep Gettin’ It On circles back to familiar territory—whether as a deliberate continuation or just a little extra insurance that the message was clear. The rest of the album maintains a consistently high bar, even if some tracks don’t stand out as much—not because they aren’t great, but because Gaye’s catalog is so full of moments that are transcendent. The production, led by Gaye and Motown veteran Ed Townsend, plays a crucial role in the album’s impact. The blend of silky smooth instrumentation, airy reverb, and layered vocal harmonies creates a sound that feels intimate yet cinematic—like stepping into a dimly lit room where every sigh and whisper is amplified. Gaye’s vocal delivery shifts between delicate and commanding, setting the gold standard for romantic R&B. Today, Let’s Get It On is an institution, a gold standard, the reason half of the kids born in the ‘70s exist. And while not every track is a peak in his legendary discography, the ones that hit? They don’t just land—they linger.

Solid all the way through. Good for relaxing times

Smooth jams

This will be a breeze to listen to. Marvin Gaye consistently creates pleasant tunes to lay back and just enjoy. Feels like he rarely puts a foot wrong. I have listened to a fair amount of his music before so I know what I'm getting into. Let's Get It On The sex song. Memed to death for its smoothness and cheesy blatant sexuality. Remains memorable in spite of the memes and mockery. And I do think the song is used as a joke simply because it's so good at what it's trying to do. Absolutely iconic from start to finish. A fine performance which enhances what is fairly basic writing. Marvin Gaye's voice just enhances the song so much. Sexy, sensual with the dated production and instrumentation adding charm to the track. One of the great horny songs of all time. 5/5 Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away) The desperate pleading is honestly pretty charming. The background vocals are great. I think the band does a great job creating that unique Marvin Gaye RNB sound. A solid song which puts me in a good move. Love the instrumentation. Enthralling performance. Greatm 4.5/5 If I Should Die Tonight Opens very abruptly after the first track. The transition is not smooth at all. I like the mix. The keys and violin sit just right in the background. Great bass, decent sax. Lush and powerful. Great song structure, keeps me intrigued throughout. Passionate delivery on the chorus. Good. 4/5 Keep Gettin' it On The sex song 2: electric boogaloo. Infectious charisma, can't help but smile at the cheesiness. The control he has of his voice is just unlimited as to how impressive it is. It's so cheesy, but I'm having a great time. 4.5/5 Come Get To This Love the way the song opens. The background harmonies create a delicious atmosphere. A completely different rhythm and tempo. Don't really like the loud sharpness of the drums, might be a fault of the mix. The background sax absolutely shreds. Not his best track, but the quality's still there. 3.5/5 Distant Lover The chimes are fabulous. Meanders a bit, the verse is slightly messy. Not crazy about the background vocals. The strings and brass instruments create a moment of magic in the instrumental. Great singing as always. The song sounds large and grand. Lovely ending. Good. 4/5 You Sure Love To Ball Fantastic bass work. Not a fan of how the vocal melody evolves. The way he resolves the main vocal line is a bit flat and uninteresting. When they play with the vocal layering with the repetitive chorus playing is really good. Decent. 3.5/5 Just Keep You Satisfied. Some of the lyrics are a bit terrible. The performance oozes soul and desire. He sounds like he knows he was born to do this, the confidence in his own ability is admirable. Background harmonies sound fantastic. The sparseness of the instrumental is a bit of a let down, but it does highlight some great bass tones, and is an effective closer. Feels sentimental and sufficiently powerful. Decent. 3.5/5 While never reaching quite the heights of "What's Going On" or "I Want You" I still think this album deserves its plaudits even if it's only based on performances alone. Feels warm and makes me happy in the same ways other projects of his do. I just love how in tune Marvin Gaye is with his band, and how much they do to enhance the sound of his marvelous performances. Sounds blissful. Not something I'd ever need much persuading to listen to again. Great album, would reccommend. Fave track. Let's Get It On Least fave track. Come Get To This

I feel a little weird, listening to this alone, incredible musicianship in chemistry, however. They really managed to create a work ofart.

Classy

I enjoyed this album
