Great tune by Marvin Gaye and (maybe) Tammi Terrell. Their version was recorded in 1967 during Terrells physical decline (she was suffering from a brain tumor) and released after her death, on their last duet LP Easy.

The rumor has always been (thanks to claims by Gaye himself) that the vocals on this tune (and many tunes recorded during this period) were not in fact Terrell, but actually Valerie Simpson (something that Simpson herself has denied).

According to Marvin's biography, Valerie Simpson did the vocals on the last album that was credited to Marvin and Tammi.

Dedicated to Algene "Chico" Roberts, R.I.P. brother. This song made him want to move and live in California. It was Marvin's and Tammi's last single together when released in early 1970.

Oh, yes. I'm biased, though, as they were my favourite group (still are), but this Marvin & Tammy version is very nice, too.

Got endless love and respect for Gaye/Terrell, but the Marlena Shaw version just packs a greater punch.

The Marlena Shaw is better in my opinion. The original is more hard hitting just like Cali

I love this song and have alot of sentimantality when it comes to tammi. She suffered assault as a child beatings from David Ruffin had 8 brain operations and died at 24. Life was cruel to her and she still managed to create beauty. Tammi...never forgotten by this musical heart...
