This is Diana Ross' brother. He co-wrote this song for Marvin Gaye. They gave me this album for free at a record store back then:

@Marv2, do you like the album? I played it once not that long ago but it didn't have much of an impression on me, I don't think.
I've never heard this rendition until now. What stuck out to me as being the most captivating is the piano in the background. It's wonderfully played and placed just right in the mix to give the song a jazzy/churchy feel. Thanks for sharing it.
I did not care for it and I am sure it only got one play here.Quote:

He's not a really good musician IMHO
They wouldn't have sold if they went with T Boy.
Thank God for Marvin!

I bought T-Boy's LP when it first came out and hated it -- his voice, the music, everything. When it got released on CD a few years back, I bought it because it's Motown. This time, I liked it a bit better, but played it only once and haven't played it again since. I must admit, I do like the back-up girls on T-Boy's version of "I Want You", but, vocally Marvin's lead vocals are much better -- by far!
Not bad! :)
i love the song. T-boys vocals are horrible. He sounds a bit like Evan Ross.
I checked out a few other tracks from Changes and have to say, wasn't massively keen on T-Boy's singing.
