Re: Battle of the Solo Artist - Marvin Gaye Vs James Brown

To be honest I don't listen to anything like Marvin Gaye. Too soft, too predictable (he's either in love or had his geart broken), too slow.
.

"What's going on, Mercy Mercy Me, Save the Children, Inner city blues'

Not much love going on there!

But I think they had two seperate styles, Marvin wanted to be Nat King Cole really, more of a Jazz singer and crooner.
JB was unique, no one had really done anything like that before.
JB was a showman, Marvin hated being on stage, having to Lipsync and dance.

For me Marvin, all day long!

Marvin's "what's Goin on" is probably the greatest soul album of all time. Deep social messages still relevant today wrapped up in dense, multi layered honey dripping soul. A beautiful piece of work.

Is that a vote?

Marvin Gaye was a better drummer than JB was a singer.


Marvin Gaye every day of the week.
