In terms of international chart status, "Sexual Healing" was Marvin's most successful single and the only song where he won American Music Awards and Grammy Awards. I'm still upset it took that long to get him a Grammy. But I love the song tho. A classic among many in the great man's catalog.

This song sounded so good to me in the fall of 1982,when it was first released music I still love it,but I'm a little tired of it.This has got to be his most overplayed song.

Yeah it is overplayed that I believe.

This was my favorite records from Midnight Love:

Midnight Lady:



"Did you save a line for the ladies/we're not into that are you crazy?!" lol

Rockin' After Midnight:



'Til Tomorrow:



Joy:



Third World Girl:



The ORIGINAL version of I've Got My Music:



My Love is Waiting:

This song might b overplayed and maybe overrated, but there's a good reason- great vocal, with a melody straight outta motown; a shining example of a great pop song

Yep, mixture of Motown, electro funk and reggae. And still one of the greatest pop songs of all time. Most great pop songs are "overplayed" (*coughBillie Jean* *coughWhen Doves Cry) but I still love this song.

Gawd, how I hate this song!!! Radio stations are still playing it like it was just released last week! One of the most over-exposed songs of all times!!!

I know what you mean! Our oldies R&B station has worn this song OUT,to the point that I can't stand to hear it anymore.Meanwhile,they ignore stuff like "You Sure Love To Ball",which I consider the sexiest song of all time.
