When a cover utterly exceeds the original...

What a transcendent rendition of this classic!

I’ve been learning about triads (135=major chord) on guitar … it kind of shattered how I ‘see’ the fretboard, after a bit of confusion made things much more free.  Anyway, now I’m reworking every song I’d played before. Taking another look at “Let’s Get it On” … and read up that Marvin Gaye’s future wife (who he’d not yet dated) was in the recording booth during that session.  Ooooh, *now* THAT makes more sense.

The power behind this wasn’t merely, “we resonate, it feels natural good real - we should have a romantic evening and enjoy” …  (and maybe they didn’t know it at the time) the *power* behind it was much bigger “we’re going to get married and have two children” was in their future.  Wow.

ain't that always the way?

p.s.

Song was co-written prior, and revised, among 3 people (so it's origination is more complex than that one relationship).

 

 

Jack Black’s debut, before anyone knew that he could sing.

Such wonderful playfulness and sincerity/focus.

The reaction of doggo in the first couple minutes pretty much mirrors mine.
