Play UHS back to back with Marv's and then you can see.

Afronomical said:

Now that's a thought.

No contest:

Let's me and you do that, Missy. Ok? We'll fuck until the sun calls or whenever the 2 CDs stop.

Hmmm Sounds good. Rendezvous along with the groove then, make way for Round 2.

Every man I know owns a Sade album for one purpose and one purpose only.

Tappin that ass!! A Sade record just works ... it dissolves women's drawers in 15 minutes or less.

Marvin "I Want You" fans, let's go song for song vs UHS, shall we? Maybe we can settle it there. I'll fire off the 1st salvo:

UHS = "Welcome": He introduces the vibe of his set by "welcoming" everyone to his journey as well as welcoming a lost love to come back anytime she wants. Schweeeeet!

"Welcome"

I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love
I guess it wasn't so
Guess that's how the story goes
You didn't dig my flow
You didn't dig my flow

[1] - But you're still welcome,welcome
Anytime you want some
Make yourself at home cause you're
Welcome

Tonight will make one week
Tonight's the anniversary
And if you don't talk to me
Tomorrow will never be

[Repeat 1]

Six in the morning everything's nothing
Six in the eve everything's still the same
Wish you knew I just wish that you knew that
I really love you deep like a mother loves a child
I wanna love you like hot water running wild
Inside you momma sophisticated style
Check my dictionary

I guess it never was the way I thought it was
I say this only because
You never came to love
Welcome

Tell her, Maxy!

Ok, "I Want You" fans, your serve!

Ok, now it's time for this classic off of the I Want You album:

Come Live With Me Angel:

Come live with me angel
Come live with me in comfort

I wanna be your lover
I don’t understand your mood baby
I wanna be your lover
I really really
wanna be your lover
When you want some solitude
I wanna be your lover
You can’t have it
Ooh yeah baby
I wanna be your lover

Darling please walk around me (at least) three times a day
So I can get cha baby
I want to get true at least three times a day
In all the ways baby - whoo
You can have your way if you decide to stay

so

Come live with me angel woooo
Come live with me in comfort
Come chill with me angel
Come live with me in comfort

ooh ooh ooh this is where all your fantasies end
Let me explore all your treasures
I'll turn you on to all of those freakish pleasures
Good experienced company
Like me who knows all the ways
Is what you need baby
Just you and me locked up for days
After we eat breakfast in bed
Turn on the music for our head

Come live with me angel
Papas the sweet angel
Come live with me in comfort whoo ooo

Come live with me angel
Come live with me in comfort
Come live with me my beautiful angel
Come live with me in comfort
Come live with me darling angel
Come live with me in comfort

(Repeat baby sock it to me 22X)

Woo ooo
Woo ooo ooo
Woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo ooo
Woo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Woo ooo woo ooo
Woo wooooo

Come on angel
Come on and go with me ah woo
Please come on go with me I said please woo
Sweet little baby
It's no mystery on how much I want you

I want you baby
I want you
I want you can't you see

Baby have everything
Sweet little sexy thing
I want you to live with me woo

Come on sweet lady
Come on live with me yeah
Come on now baby woo


This steamy and sensual cut has Mr. Gaye wooing as he badly declares his wish: "I Wanna Be Your Lover". Marvin assures his lover a pleading return on her erotic investment: "Three times a day in all the ways , baby!" The music is relaxed and the sensual moans and orgasmic sounds gives the song its central atmosphere and where do you think Maxwell got the line "locked up for days" from?

Ok ok, not bad. I can feel that one. And yes, Maxy borrows a lot from Marv (Didn't he even borrow some of Marv's musicians or arranger or engineer?).

I especially like the whole "angel" thang. Ok, now I need to fire back with "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" - His first hit off the album. Speaking of "angels", here Maxy comes telling us how high his love's love is:

"Ascension"

Oooooh...

It happened the moment, when you were revealed
'Cause you were a dream that you should not have been
A fantasy real
You gave me this beating baby
This rhythm inside
And you made me feel good and feel nice and feel loved
Give me paradise

[1] - So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder
[repeat 1]

So tell me how long
How long it's gonna take until you speak, babe
'Cause I can't live my life
Without you here by my side
Ooh...
You gave me the feelin', feelin' in my life
[rpt 1]

That was one of my fave cuts from the summer of '96! It was one of those feel-good club bangers that DJ's fell in love with even before Maxy came out with the Urban Hang Suite joint. But now here's another one of those upbeat, late night dancing gems from Marvin Gaye's 1976 landmark, I Want You:

All The Way Around

Do you wanna do it lets it get it on
but how you gonna act this time around
before I take it off down to the skin
lets get an understanding
Girl you didn't understand my philosophy
you did not understand
you just ran away from me
Oh I miss you baby
ohh I miss you baby, I miss you
you're the best I ever had
You're so bad baby
but I must like you like that
although you won't let me control this or that
contantly playing this tit for tat
Ah now I see you're coming straight to the point
you say the more you get baby
ah the more you want me
yeah darling you're not waisting my time
what I see baby is so hard to find
although you've been all over town baby
having your affairs I still have to accept you back
angel though you're promiscuious I don't mind a bit cause you're still the greatest lay even when you're miles away
Girl if you run away again
surely my heart would never mend
don't tell me the love we made
was just for old times sake
staying up waiting for you to come home at night
was just so hard to take
she said that pain might never mend
so let's be sometime lovers
oh baby that's when my poor heart broke up
(Chorus) Well if you got a girl and you want her for your wife you got to treat her good and love her all your life.

Here, Gaye is actually telling his ol' girl that if she ever leaves him, he will eagerly die. He knows that the love she is hiding from him will always be eternal and begs her to make their relationship live on forever. Wow, Marv was a magician with words back in the day!
