Because everything is just so well done- the bass, the horns, vocal harmonies, and the songwriting. It's all just great and funky and soulful.

Real live talented human musicians all playing great music in the same room at the same time, with a tape recorder running.

So crazy, it just might work.

I cramp up too. It happens with most of his songs. I'm trying to sing and play "For Once In My Life" at the same time, which I'm beginning to think is impossible to do.

I think the OP just has a man-crush on Marvin Gaye.

Anyone who DOESN'T have a man-crush on Marvin is in need of soul therapy.

So far out of the songs of his that i've played (i only know how to play 5 at the moment) thats the only one i cramp up on

right now i'm trying to do "This Old Heart" (I think thats the name of it i don't have the music in front of me and i'm not good with song names so i'm not sure)

Jamerson's a beast.
