Hit: 4 Stars
MY GRANDMOTHER INTRODUCED ME TO MARVIN GAYE AS A KID & THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RECORDS I HEARD BY HIM (BESIDES "WHAT'S GOING ON"). THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM (BY THE TERRIBLY UNDERRATED LEON WARE) WAS LAYERED WITH BEAUTIFUL WARM STRING ARRANGMENTS & MOOG SYNTHESIZERS. "I WANT YOU" THE TITLE TRACK WAS GOOD, BUT "COME LIVE WITH ME, ANGEL" & "FEEL ALL MY LOVE INSIDE" STEAL THE SHOW HERE! ALONG WITH THE "AFTER THE DANCE (INSTRUMENTAL)", MARVIN'S SMOOTH VOCALS RIDE THE HECK OUT OF THESE SONGS! IT'S A MUST BUY FOR A TRUE MARVIN GAYE FAN, NOT FOR THE FAIRWEATHER FAN!!! ALSO CHECK OUT "DREAM OF A LIFETIME" & "HERE, MY DEAR"..... Free Music Review: THE BEST R&B ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 5 Stars
`I want you' is my all time favourite Marvin Gaye song and one listen is enough to tell you why; atmospheric with lilting percussion, pulsing but hesitant sounding bassline, and a soothing multi-layered wall of backing vocals, this song is a masterpiece! Covered by artists like Massive Attack featuring Madonna, and Robert Palmer, the song gets reprised twice, especially as a horn laden instrumental near the end of the album.
This #15 US pop hit (#1 R&B) sets the tone for the rest of this album; soothing sensual music with lush orchestration and jazz leanings with lyrics about yearning and desire. The cover art is a painting depicting people dancing at a club to a live band, and this was stunningly recreated at the Motown 25th show in 1983.
All the tracks flow into one another with ease, from the soothing horn drenched `Come live with me angel', the downtempo haunting instrumental piece `After the dance' (reprised in a percussion filled vocal version at the end which has an entirely different feel), the ethereal sound of `Feel all my love inside', the too brief `I wanna be where you are', the silky smooth `All the way round', the ballad `Since I had you', and `Soon I'll be loving you again', a lush ballad introduced by delicate rolling percussion and filled with awesome backing vocals, awesome!
The album made #4 pop US and #1 R&B.
There's nothing more I can say about this work of art. Marvin was on an artistic roll in the 70s (that's not to say his other work wasn't great, mind you) and set the pace for today's R&B and Neo Soul crooners.
