If Marvin Gaye thinks something is peculiar, it is. 'Ain't that Peculiar' getting you up out of your seat tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS!

Marvin Gaye lovers don't take this wrong, you know Johnny holds the man and that angelic voice in the highest regard. Temptations fans, those fabulous harmonies lift Johnny's soul.....BUT...This is his favorite version of 'Heard It Through The Grapevine' for a couple reasons. First, The Pips pop so hard on this. The sax, that classic Motown sound, it's all here and yes, Johnny favors it.

Long time fans of the Music Series here and back in New Jersey and before that Ypsilanti know Johnny loves him some Marvin Gaye. So many many songs by him in the iTunes vault. Always hard to choose just one but here goes. 'Ain't That Peculiar' stepping us off tonight.

Marvin Gaye sounding good over coffee

Of course Marvin Gaye sounds good over any tasty beverage. Especially if you're Robin Thicke looking for new songs. 'Got to Give it Up' making mornings better...
