Any1 know who or if Marvin wrote this for anybody? It sounded like it's a prelude to "Just To Keep You Satisfied"..... | |

It's not clear but it was probably about Tammi Terrell.  | |

Okay,here's my funny childhood story regarding this song 
Back in 1974,my parents had the 'Let's Get It On' album.I was a little kid so I was just learning how to read.I would always look at album covers,read the song titles and try to figure out what it was called.Being a silly kid,I assumed that this song was titled "Dristan Lover"...lol...in the 70s,Dristan was a popular over-the-counter nasal spray.I was wondering why Marvin would do a song about it,lol.  | |

Love this I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life. | |

Yeah, and you can argue that 'Just To Keep You Satisfied' was a prelude to the Here, My Dear album, which was released 5 years later. Check me out and add me on:

It's not clear but it was probably about Tammi Terrell. Wasn't the whole album about Janice,,,or was I Want You about her? The only thing I know is when Ed Townsend wanted him to sing "If I Should Die Tonight" to HER in person,,,,I know you know the rest because I seem like I forgot it | |

"Let's Get It On" wasn't really about her, Marvin was experiencing one night stands before he dated JANIS (Marvin hated it when they called her Jan or Janice, lol). I think "If I Should Die Tonight" was the only song where he was INSPIRED about Janis. I Want You was about Janis tho. | |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

The live recording of this is one of my favourites of all-time. I love the way the crowd reacts to the lyrics. | |

One of my favorite Marvin cuts  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
