I bet that,if Marvin had lived,he would have worked with Rick James on a project.Imagine if Rick had produced a Marvin Gaye album! It would have been a funky,freaky collaboration with some hot jams. | |

Apparently, it was just a song he did that was meant to shock folks, and he had no intention of actually putting it out. | |

Gordon Banks, his musical director and collaborator, commented that it was just a fun record to do. I think they both wrote this, they also co-wrote "Sanctified (Pussy) Lady". | |

I heard that,when the album was being put together,they removed the word "pussy" from the song and brought in a relative of Marvin's to sing the word "lady".Thus,the song became "Sanctified Lady"
Imo,posthumous albums are always a mixed bag.Many times,it's just a collection of songs that don't fit together on the same album.You never know if the artist truly wanted certain songs to be released. | |

Wrong....on so many levels. 
Was it was his brother Frankie who sang the word "Lady"? Cuz he sounded JUST like Marvin. | |

I've got this 4CD compilation where he covers some of Marvin's songs...and I couldn't get over how much he sounded like his brother.  | |

I haven't listened to the unreleased 'Love Man' album yet.To those of you who have heard it,how is it? Do you think Marvin did the right thing by cancelling its release in 1979? How do you think it would have been accepted by fans back then? I can't wait to listen to it.

 I found this album on some guy's blog about a month ago.
Never downloaded it though. I think I might do it some time this month....it's either that or fork out fifty bucks for the remastered edition of "In Our Lifetime." | |

Timmy84 said: SoulAlive said: I haven't played that album in years,but I remember that I wasn't crazy about it.I'll have to give it another listen. It has some good songs on there. My favorites are, besides the obvious single, "Rockin' After Midnight", "'Til Tomorrow", "Joy" and "My Love is Waiting". "My Love Is Waiting" and "Til Tomorrow" are sheer genius. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I got the album with the "Love Man" tracks on it, the tracks are actually probably what you would consider a rough draft of what became "In Our Lifetime" musical wise: "Life's a Game of Give and Take" - "Heavy Love Affair" "Life Is Now in Session" - "Life is For Learning" "I Offer You Nothing But Love" - "In Our Lifetime" "Just Because You're So Pretty" - "Love Me Now or Love Me Later" "Dance 'N' Be Happy" - "Love Party" "Funk Me, Funk Me, Funk Me" - "Funk Me" "A Lover's Plea" - "Praise" | |

See the thing is...I already have "In our lifetime" on LP and I've even converted it to CDR. I dunno, I'm still undecided.  | |

So guys...how do we feel about 'In Our Lifetime'? I have the previous CD remaster that came out in the 90s.I know that Marvin wasn't pleased with this album.He claims that Motown released it before it was finished,right? .I'm sure that Timmy84 has the details | |

Marvin was right. "Far Cry" was unfinished, and the title track ended kinda weird. It was a party jam up until the last minute. Motown fucked it up and Marvin vowed NEVER to record for the label again and he never did. | |

SoulAlive said: It's a trip how Marvin cancelled the 'Love Man' album,even though the album cover artwork was completed and a first single was released ("Ego Trippin Out").In the fall of '79,fans must have been confused when they heard that song on the radio but didn't see the album's release.I guess it's sorta like what we went through with Prince's 'Black Album' in 1987 (even though no single was released from that).
Can you explain how word got out about the black album? I always thought Prince wanted people to find it, no promotion, nothing people were expecting it? "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

It was shipped to stores and distributors. Then ordered back a few days before the official release. All copies weren't returned and that's how we go all of the bootlegs. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

It was definitely a machine in the 70s and 80s. By the mid-80s, the pace had changed and you were getting albums every 2 or 3 years, but before they kept ur ass in the studio. Berry wanted his money. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Oh yeah  Berry was extremely anxious for Stevie to finish 'SITKOL' but Stevie took his time.At one point in 1975,Motown even distributed some T-shirts that said "We're Almost Finished" I bet Berry was was losing his mind,lol.
Damn! when is Stevie gonna finish that album?! | |

Damn! when is Stevie gonna finish that album?! Berry even talked about that in his book. He wanted Stevie to hurry with that album because he had just given him that HUGE record deal for like 3mil. HE wanted a return on his investment...fast! **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-
