MARVIN GAYE: SAY YEAH

Stubborn

Marvin Gaye: Stubborn Type of Fellow (Tamla, 1962, 7″)

Don’t tell anyone this but I’ve never spent much quality time with Marvin’s ’60s catalog. Even this, Marvin’s first chart-topper, is one that I’ve always heard somewhere in the middle distance but I’ve never owned it nor sat with it as a song until this past week (see the last post) and those “say ‘yeah yeah yeahs'” are now pretty much my favorite thing ever.
