2. And Tammi Terrell is missed, too

His inimitable singing parter (there was no better duo, ever), who succumbed to a brain tumor on March 16, 1970, at the tender age of 24. Here is one of my favorite songs of theirs (with my favorite line of all time (!!): "I know you can / make a man / out of a soul / that didn't have a goal&quot :

As with John Lennon, I remember where I was when I found out about his death.

8. Marvin Gaye b. 1939 and raised in Washington, D.C. What a talent & so many gifts he gave us.

There is a very popular restaurant downtown WDC named for the musical star, 'MARVIN'S'

9. Absolutely beautiful...

What a great video of this song's performance, indeed, what a great talent we lost in Marvin Gaye. I didn't realize his piano skills but rather knew him as the great singer that he was and that he was one of the initial Funk Brothers of MoTown as a drummer but that didn't last long and he got kicked up to being singer etc. as I understand. But what an awesome performance that you, Faygo Kid, has shared with us. Nice, nice groove, great musicianship (love that bass and rythmn section in general). My wife and I can't thank you enough!
