MARV GAYE - I WANT YOU

Marv Gaye. I Want You, while a Top Ten smash for Marv Gaye 1976, is not as generally as well-known as s precsors for several reasons.

Third, Gaye hadn't rerd nearly three years and crics were onto somethg else -- exactly what, retrospect is anybody's gus. From the amazg Ernie Barn ver patg "Back to Sugar Shack" to the Coleridge-Taylor Perkson strg and horn arrangements to Leon Ware's exotic productn that relied on keyboards as well as dms and bass as rhythm stments, I Want You was a giant leap for Gaye. But the most astonishg thgs about I Want You are s timacy ( was dited to and rerd ont of Gaye's future send wife, Jan), silky elegance, and seamls textur.

Gaye worked wh producer Leon Ware, who wrote all of the origal songs on the album and worked wh Gaye to revise them, th lendg Gaye a -wrg cred. The tle track is a monster two-step groover wh hand percsn playg unterpot to the strgs and horns layered agast a spare electric guar solo, all before Gaye begs to sg on top of the funky backbeat.

Art Stewart's engeerg rounds off all the edg and mak Gaye's already sweet croong stment to the te gra the voice of sctive need.

"Feel All My Love Insi" and "I Want to Be Where You Are" are anthems to sensualy wh strgs creepg up unr Gaye's voice as the guars move through a seri of chunky chang and dms punctuate his every syllable.

I Want You is as necsary as anythg Gaye ever rerd. After pretty much releasg an album a year sce 1961, Marv Gaye slowed down the mid-70s.

Followg his stylistic rebirth at the start of the , the once prolific Gaye creasgly began to agonize over new material. After a three-year gap, Gaye emerged 1976 wh his 14th solo album, releasg at a time when the clubs were eher mblg to the sounds of punk or shakg unr the weight of bodi on the dis dancefloor. Not that Gaye red.

As s ver art, a 1971 patg by Ernie Barn, entled Sugar Shack, ma abundantly clear, there was no room for manver between Gaye’s erotic fantasi and the barely supprsed mands of his urg.

Gaye had stggled to rerd a follow-up to Let’s Get It On, but then he met Leon Ware, songwrer for Michael Jackson, The Miracl, and Mnie Riperton, among many others, and a man who was then workg on his own sexually-charged excursns. Fdg that Ware’s visn was the perfect channel for his own obssn wh Janis Hunter – spiratn for “Let’s Get It On” and, subsequently, the woman wh whom Gaye embarked on a long-term affair – the pair worked on the songs together, Gaye pourg his most tense sir to every groove.

‘I WANT YOU’: MARV GAYE’S CARNAL CLASSIC

Dmmer Jam Gadson is as laidback and the pocket as ever, workg up effortls groov for percsn duo Bobbye Hall Porter and Eddie “Bongo” Brown to fl and out of; sumptuo strgs take proceedgs om the sweat shack to the dis and back aga, unrsrg Gaye’s sensual flights of fancy.

It’s all so perfect that Gaye himself steps asi on several ocsns, allowg the band to riff on an “After The Dance” stmental and stoke the flam wh reprisals of the “I Want You” theme. 4 the US but baffled many: this wasn’t a llectn of songs, was a symphony, which, like the very sir that drove Gaye forward, had ebbs and flows, light and sha.

Yet s mix of quiet-storm soul, terstellar dis, and Gaye’s tritely multi-tracked, doo-wop-bted vols, laid the blueprt for the R&B and neo-soul stars of the 90s and 00s, among them D’Angelo, whose update on I Want You rulted the lennial masterpiece Voodoo.
