MG: I used to go my way all by myself, me, my shadow & I
Happy-go-lucky, nobody else but me, my shadow & I
One day out of the clear blue skies
I dared to look in your eyes
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me, yes indeed
KW: I used to laugh at all my friends
Gettin' ready for Valentines Day
Givin' candy & kisses & friendship rings
"Sweets for the sweet," they say
One day when the sun was warm
I couldn't help but take you in my arms
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
MG: Listen, Kim: it didn't hit me like a ton of bricks
But I felt it just the same
KW: Marvin, love came creepin' right into my heart
When you whispered my name
So sweet & tender, I had to surrender
I knew I had really been hit
BOTH: So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
MG: I couldn't help myself at all
KW: You know, you came along & I had to fall
(repeat & fade):
BOTH: So tenderly, that's how love fell on me
The lyrics LOVE FELL ON ME of MARVIN GAYE is also present in the album Take two [with kim weston] (1966)
Marvin Gaye, nato Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. (Washington D.C., 2 aprile 1939 – Los Angeles, 1 aprile 1984), è stato un cantautore, produttore discografico e arrangiatore statunitense considerato uno dei più grandi artisti della musica soul e R and B. Iniziò la sua carriera come cantante gospel negli anni '50, per poi passare alla Motown nel 1961. Con il suo stile vocale morbido e melodico, le sue canzoni spesso incentrate su temi sociali e personali come l'amore, la guerra e la giustizia sociale, Gaye conquistò un pubblico internazionale. Tra i suoi successi più famosi figurano "Let's Get It On", "Sexual Healing", "What's Going On" e "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Quest'ultimo brano, realizzato in duetto con Tammi Terrell, divenne un inno di speranza e unità. Gaye ricevette numerosi premi, tra cui sei Grammy Awards, e il suo album "What's Going On" è considerato un capolavoro della musica soul. La sua vita fu segnata da problemi personali e dipendenze, che culminarono nel tragico omicidio del padre da parte di Marvin stesso nel 1984.
