Wow...very obvious references but didn't hear any actual samples.
I have to admit I bought a Robin Thicke album for the high price of $1 at a CD bin sale. Every single song I was thinking "This guy has sure listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye albums." Each track was sung in a breathy falsetto and the songs, to me at least, all blended together as one very long [[and not very good) song. The album was "Evolution of Robin Thicke" which I actually think is considered one of his best [[!).
