GOTDAMN!
Yes.
But I always feel like Marvin just got over some shit there. It's as bleak-saddenly positive as anything I can think of.

Check out the original song/track by The Originals who also sang backup.
Originally penned by Gaye as a song about a husband's devotion to his wife, Gaye produced versions with The Miracles, The Monitors and The Originals, who later supplied background vocals for Gaye's version.
I didnt know about The Miracles & Monitors versions.
Kenny Lattimore - nice & smooth version
Lisa Stansfield - from the MG dedication/covers album
Howard Hewitt - Best version - after he broke up w/ Nia Peoples
And Im pretty sure there some alternatives on the Deluxe album.
And I agree - the song is a gut punch. Totally sets up "Here, My Dear."
