IMO, Tammi Terrell’s voice is bar none the best of the Motown era. Beautiful vocals belied a not-so-beautiful personal life, and of course, she (and Gaye) left us way too soon.
Great essay 👏 I love Marvin Gaye's music! It always makes me dance and sing around 💃🎶 My faves by him are: "‘Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)", "You're All I Need" with Tammy Terrell and "Trouble Man" 🔥
I think so too. Cooke was a pioneer in so many ways, including owning a record company, a singer who also wrote his own songs and tilting the balance between artist and management to the artist.

Indeed, Terrell's story is tragic on many levels.

Thanks Stygi! 'Trouble Man' is such a groove!
Marvin was great. I love Sam Cooke, who I believe is underrated.

Great music. Thanks for the story!
Thanks so much for reading and enjoying!
There is a deep bond between Gaye and the audience, and it comes through loud and clear on the recording.
