Marvin Gaye – I Want You (1976)
This has been posted before but I noticed many of the rips available were low bit rates or the link was dead. So I reuploaded a copy of a 320 rip by DJ Uilson. His blog is here, thanks goes out to him/her.
Released on Motown’s Tamia Records in 1976. Marvin had not recorded an album since 1973′s Let’s Get It On. Produced by Leon Ware, I Want You departs from the R&B style of previous records to “funky light disco.” Gaye used some of the same musicians as in the past (The Funk Brothers) but used more multi tracking for vocals and relied on synthesizers often. The horns and strings are arranged by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson. The cover is of Ernie Barne’s painting The Sugar Shack. Many of the songs were about a girlfriend of Marvin’s, Jan Hunter. The record topped the soul charts and It has been sampled throughout the decades.
