One mic, one moment, one legend. Marvin Gaye didn’t just sing it, he made history with it.

I typically don’t like too much tampering with the anthem but this one hits differently – well done 👍

I love the backstory to this. When the intro beat hit, the Lakers PA announcer thought, “Shit, they brought the wrong tape. He’s going to sing Sexual Healing.”
This was a lightning in a bottle moment that won’t happen again.

My Dad was watching and caught it on video tape. We watched that thing about fifty eleven times through the years. He absolutely ROCKED the anthem. It was my favorite version until Whitney came and blew it out of the water. “Oh lawd”

Damn. Only Marvin could have taken the Anthem and turned it into a solid groove. Definitely the best creative interpretation of the song.

It was amazing when Nike used this for the Olympic team commercial
