View More By Marvin Gaye Our ReviewLet’s Get It On had been lush and hypnotic, but with I Want You Marvin Gaye took his audience to an even more rapturous place. Written and orchestrated in collaboration with Leon Ware, the album generates a vortex of sound. This is a work of great texture and atmosphere. At times the band and orchestra appear to shake and flutter, as if animated by a rising hot wind. Gaye doesn’t so much lead the music with his vocals as he lets the music lead his voice. At the points where we would expect his voice to rise up, it holds at a murmur, allowing the orchestra swells in illustration of the singer’s inner torment. The music is immaculate and intoxicating, but at the time of release some stodgy critics and fans felt that Gaye had traded the social conscience of What’s Going On to revel in carnal pleasure. In retrospect, I Want You feels bolder and more personal than the works that preceded it. It represents a transformative moment in Gaye’s career, and remains a paragon for musicians who want to expand and articulate the vistas of their inner lives..

It was a pioneer of its time. It can wind you down after a hard day's work or it can gear you up for that clandestine encounter with your significant other. This album is more than just an album. It's a work of elegant beauty. It is music from the soul. I Make you long for more (5 stars) This body of work helps you to understand some of the work of the younger players out there now Mary J's work Dwell's, Maxwell and you hear what Janet was getting at on her "Janet" cd. No one will be able to touch this work.
