MARV GAYE – “GOT TO GIVE IT UP (PT.1)”
Marv Gaye didn't tend "Got to Give It Up" to be a dis h. Gaye felt the same way about "Got to Give It Up" until engeer/producer Art Stewart sistently tervened. At almost 15 mut, the track has a laid-back feel due part to Gaye's rerdg technique of loungg behd the rerdg nsole sgg to a mic that was hung above was so nonchalant that he sually banged out a rhythm part on a half-empty bottle of grapeu.
Listed on his number one R&B/number three pop album Marv Gaye Live at the London Palladium, "Got to Give It Up" held the number one R&B spot for five weeks while gog to number one pop sprg 1977. SONGWRITER: Marv Gaye. BACKSTORY: If “Got To Give It Up” isn’t the most celebrated h by Marv Gaye – that honour mt surely go to “I Heard It Through The Grapeve” – then certaly is the most ntent.
The irony is that, 1976, Gaye was not enthiastic about makg such a piece of mic the first place. Gaye sisted that this was to be a double album – but there wasn’t enough live material om the Palladium ncert for that.
