Here are some customer reviews of
I Want You
: from the title cut thru since i had you&after the dance.it's a story within a story.the voice,words&music sound better than anything that's out now.this man has so much soul&feeling in his words&music that it seems endless.another brillant album from the genius mind of marvin gaye.
THE BEST OF ALL TIMES (AND TO THINK THIS WAS RELEASED JUST 7 DAYS AFTER I WAS BORN)! THE ALBUM COVER SAYS IT ALL.
this album is good after all these years.and i agree with the writer that said D'angelo,maxwell and i'll throw in r.kelly among many that don't write songs that are a story and have many plots.he pleads his case as if it could be his last time telling his woman how he feels.it's a courting that blows the mind when today the bag is all ready open before you try to figure what's in it. it's called leaving mystery for the eyes and ears. something that Marvin could say and do without saying much.that's genius.
Although I have had to defend my opinion about this on numerous occasions, 'I Want You' is Marvin's best album. Don't get me wrong, I think that "What's Going On" is a masterpiece, and I loved "Let's Get It On", but there's something about this particular album (CD), that I can't take it out of the CD player. The melodies are almost angelic, and he sings the lyrics to songs like "Since I Had You", and "Come Live With Me Angel" with such passion and emotion. You can feel what he's saying, and the music is timeless. He mixes fantasy with love, even suggests to his lover that he wants to try something he's never tried before; as he puts it, 'head'. The cover may remind you of the TV show, "Good Times", but the CD inside will make you want to have nothing but a "good time". This CD plays like a verbal orgasm between Marvin and the music. Guaranteed eargasm....... It is the soundtrack for lovers.
On the recording, the Marvelous One is at his most romantic. "Come Live With Me Angel" is a slice of heaven.
