NUMBER 1'SMARV GAYE

Download Got to Give Up by Marv Gaye Gaye Got to Give Up lyrics. That means you probably lived through the dis era and are noticg the same thgs that the Marv Gaye tate is ntendg an ugly lawsu: That “Blurred L” sounds an awful lot like Gaye’s 1977 #1 smash “Got To Give It Up. The ironic thg is that all this fs over a song that rerd execs had to twist Gaye’s arm to wre.

MARV GAYE, “GOT TO GIVE IT UP”

It seems that Gaye wasn’t too fond of the dis genre, but eventually bowed to prsure to jo the trend.

Wh the help of producer Art Stewart, Gaye built the track anilly om a relentlsly percsive foundatn, thereby avoidg the soullsns that plagued some popular dis at the time. Wh that mic place and his credible vols, Gaye probably uld have sung the ntents of a reigerator manual and still would have sound soulful. (And if we’re talkg about theft, what about Mick Jagger nickg Gaye’s falsetto for “Emotnal Rcue?

As the song progrs, Gaye slips some not-so-subtle nuendo before eventually gettg right to the pot: “Let me step to your erotic zone. Those l are a b blurry, but ’s disputably clear that Marv Gaye was a geni any genre. 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. ” Stewart was termed, however, and even vised Gaye at home on Christmas Day 1976 wh a track for what was to bee “Got To Give It Up, ” to enurage and spire the artist to fish . On background vols were Gaye’s wife Jan and brother Frankie.

The rult was a Number One crossover h – Gaye’s third to top the Billboard Hot 100 – eded down om the album’s 11 mut-pl versn. “I stuck my nose the air, ” relled Gaye, “and said, ‘Fuck , ’ but don’t you know that the end, I did what [Motown] wanted – my way.

REMAKES: Whether or not listeners nsir “Blurred L” to be a remake of “Got To Give It Up, ” as the jury cid, the Gaye smash spired many other piec of mic.

FOOTNOTE: In Divid Soul, David Rz relled a night two years after the release of “Got To Give It Up” when he, Gaye and several iends were at a San Francis dis. It was particularly strange watchg him mouth the words of the song which is the story – Gaye’s story – of a wallflower.
