I can't tell if you're being serious or just poking fun.

I agree. Marvin was tired of the recording business afterwards. I remember after Tammi's death he told David Ritz he wanted to actually quit the business and go into another field [[this was around the time he tried to have a tryout with the Detroit Lions and we know how that went). Marvin didn't like being "phony". I think the situation with Tammi forced him to look into himself but he seemed to have a hard time coping with it. The thing with Marvin was he didn't lie about Gordy in this particular incident. "It was all a part of BG's moneymaking scheme..." I think there's truth to that.
With respect to YAINTGB, you can clearly hear Marvin say "Tammi listen" in the background which easier to hear on the stereo mix. On the basis that he never "spoke or sung" to Tammi, using her name, on any of the Easy recordings I think that it is Tammi on YAINTGB.
It's not really proof of anything. I think that most people were really surprised to learn [[years, if not decades later) that Marvin and Tammi were not in the studio singing Ain't No Mountain High Enough together, much less that it started off as a solo recording done months before Marvin added his vocals.
Has anyone offerred actual proof here so far?
Although it's been interesting, here's what I've read to this point:
-- Opinion
-- Conjecture
-- Speculation
-- Guesses
As SDF members, what you have to say has my attention.
As potential members of a jury, I'm already planning my escape.
If the recording of "Good Lovin Ain't Easy To Come By" took place from 27/9/68 to 7/11/68 and was released on 14/1/69 and
If the Ebony article is correct that at the time of travelling to Motown in Spring 1969 Tammi had not recorded for up to 2 years
Then how could Tammi have been on "Good Lovin Ain't Easy To Come By"?
