Marv Gaye – I Want You Lyrics | Geni Lyrics

Marv Gaye. This is the third tle Marv Gaye's talog to appear Universal's Deluxe Edn seri, followg What's Gog On and Let's Get It On.

I Want You, while was a Top Ten smash for Gaye 1976, is not as generally well-known as s precsors for a number of reasons. Third, Gaye hadn't rerd nearly three years and crics were onto somethg else -- exactly what is now 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. As if the mic weren't enough, the package, a stunng foldout prentatn, clus a booklet wh rare photos, mentari by Ware, Jan Gaye, and Art Stewart, among others, wh ptivatg and plete ssn not by Richard Torr -- cludg says on Barn' ver patg and Perkson's strg and horn arrangements. I Want You is as necsary as anythg Gaye ever rerd, and is as pellg the 21st century as when was first issued.

“I Want You” is the lead sgle off of the 1976 album of the same name that would go on to bee one of Marv Gaye’s most succsful rerds.

As thor Michael Eric Dyson wrote his book, Mercy, Mercy Me: The Art, Lov, and Demons of Marv Gaye:. Gaye’s obssn wh the woman her late teens is nearly palpable the sensual textur that are the album’s ral and lyril signature.
