Marvin Gaye - Please Stay (Once You Go Away)

A very rarely talked about track on one of the greatest albums ever. Ever. I mean it starts off with a very tight groove and then goes all lush like with those butter vocals. I know on an album like 'Let's Get It On' it's impossible for this to be a completely slept-on track, but I would still say it's underappreciated, considering.

I've always loved Marvin's voice on this track. He just flirts in and out of falsetto, gospel growl, and tenor almost as easy as it looks. biggrin A nice lead-up to "If I Should Die Tonight" too.
