(You)



Here is a free song for you that is really special to me: (You) Got What I Need by Freddie Scott. You may recognize it as the inspiration to Biz Markie's Just A Friend or the sample source for Save Me Dear by Ghostface. This song is so sweet and heartfelt it just makes a guy wanna hug a stranger. Or make some sweet love to a sweet lover. Or a stranger. Recorded in 1968, ya'll. God damn... this beats the crap out of the Summer of Love.

Song of the Day #12


Marvin Gaye gives us the song for today, After the Dance (Instrumental) off of the I Want You album. This is my junk right here. I would really like to know how many babies have been made to this song. When that synth bass kicks in, the drawls come down. For real... the boy knew how to write a sex number.


After the Dance (Instrumental)



While you're at it, go ahead and peep this video of Marvin singing The National Anthem. I don't think there are many singers that could bring tears to my eyes with this song, but he managed to.
