Songs which mention Marvin Gaye

Some artists paid tribute to Marvin by mentioning his name in their songs. Let's list a few ones that come into your mind.

I'll start with: "True" by Spandau Ballet

"Listenting to Marvin - all night long - this is the sound of my soul."

More please.

Huey Lewis and the News
Albu5b4m: Plan B
Song "Thank you #19"

"I heard the music of marvin gaye
But I finally understood it today
I heard the record like I never had before
And I just want to say thank you"

Re: Songs which mention Marvin Gaye

By the way, I like Elton John's "Club at the end of the street", a real good-mood-song and unfortunately quite underrated.

I just discovered another song which mentions Marvin Gaye:

Robert Cray - "Don't be afraid of the dark"

"Put on some music
Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled
I'll turn off the lights"

The Commodores-"Nightshift"


"Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds
And I can still hear him say
Aw talk to me so you can see
What's going on
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore (evermore)"

Here's a great song that I'd be surprised if anyone remembers: "Tribute (Right On)" by the Pasadenas:

"Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing ta me
He had me feelin like black was tha thing to be
And suddenly tha ghetto didn't seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough"

Re: Songs which mention Marvin Gaye

Hey WarpedRecord, be surprised: I remember the Pasadenas. And also "Tribute". Weren't they dancing in some kind of warehouse? I remember lots of cartons in the background. And one of the guys had an Elvis - haircut.

Re: Songs which mention Marvin Gaye

Pasadenas did a song called "Right On" in 1989 (which was the jam). George Benson recorded a song called "Marvin Said".and the Whispers mention Marvin Gaye on their song "In The Mood".

Hi, warstrikesback! Sorry for the delayed reply I just noticed your message, more than a year later.

You have a great memory about the Pasadenas. They wore leather jackets, danced in a warehouse in the video, and one of the guys had a duck tail hairdo like Elvis. I have the 12-inch single of "Tribute," but I actually had never seen the video until I looked them up on YouTube just now. Check it out!
