- "Distant Lover" is the sixth song issued on singer Marvin Gaye's 1973 album, Let's Get It On and was later issued as a live recording in 1974. The live version of the song was Gaye's most successful single during the three-year gap between Let's Get It On and his following 1976 album, I Want You.
Marvin composed the melody of the song with songwriter Sandra Greene during a 1970 recording session while Gaye was finishing edits of his song, "What's Going On". Recorded on November 3, 1970, Gaye first recorded a rough version simply titled "Head Title". Later in the same recording sessions, with help from his sister-in-law, Gwen Gordy Fuqua, Gaye composed more lyrics and gave it its title, "Distant Lover". Gaye would rework the song several times during the 1970 recording sessions. In the "Head Title" version, Gaye began singing his lyrics "right off the top of my head" and performed in a rasp-influenced growl. Two mixes of the "Head Title" version was released posthumously on reissues of Gaye's What's Going On album.
Marvin Gaye (April 2, 1939 -- April 1, 1984), born Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., was an American singer-songwriter and musician.
Gaye helped to shape the sound of Motown Records in the 1960s with a string of hits, including "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", and duet recordings with Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, later earning the titles "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul". During the 1970s, he recorded the concept albums What's Going On and Let's Get It On and became one of the first artists in Motown to break away from the reins of its production company. Gaye's later recordings influenced several R&B subgenres, such as quiet storm and neo-soul.
Following a period in Europe as a tax exile in the early 1980s, Gaye released the 1982 Grammy Award-winning hit "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album. Since his death in 1984, Gaye has been posthumously honored by many institutions, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
At around 11:38 am on April 1, 1984, as Marvin was seated on his bed talking to his mother, Gaye's father shot at Marvin twice. The first shot, which entered the right side of Gaye's chest, was fatal, having perforated his vital organs. Gaye was taken to the emergency room of the California Hospital Medical Center and was pronounced dead on arrival at 1:01 pm. Gaye died a day before turning 45. The gun with which Marvin Gaye, Sr. shot his son was given to him by Marvin as a Christmas present.
Following his funeral, Marvin was cremated with part of his ashes spread near the Pacific Ocean. Gaye did not leave behind a will or an insurance policy at the time of his death. Gaye's father pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge and was sentenced to probation. He later died of pneumonia in 1998. Marvin's fans have held vigils for the singer at the final residence to celebrate the day of his birth.

Yessss Mr. MARVIN GAYE❤❤❤❤
'You should think about me and say a prayer for me'
My youth summed up in one sentence
Man, you will never find another singer who sings from his soul with passion...
yes there is
Yes Sir.....he has many many wonderful songs.......but this one is in a class by itself and one of the Best!!
Definitly !!!
It's easy; when you've got the right lyrics to work with???
I love Marvin. But Teddy is also amazing
The way that “please” came out at the end 😮💨 he was masterful at transmitting whatever the feeling of the song was out to the listener. Hits every time.
I’ve been trying to hear it live but I can’t find it. That’s my favorite part
Marvin Gaye had it all ! The voice, the feeling ., the look ... 👌❤️
Yes he did! Wish I had been alive to see him in concert
We will never have singers like him again
color blind-october london
You do have a point there
@geneva
You can say that again
D’Angelo
Voice like butter
I can feel his pain...I know how it feels to lose someone or somebody that is so dear to you...
Man, Marvin hit this one out of the park. Oozes a softness and sensuality that just chills you out....
Raw emotion meets pure talent! Bliss!
And oozes sex appeal on top all that!!!
Gifted at the highest level!
This World has Not been the same place since Marvin left us. But, we still have him "in his music"! What a wonderful feeling he's given to us!!
Lord have mercy
Marvin crooning ain't he baby?
Listen it for 10 times in a row and can't get enough !!
Me too!

Sometimes you forget what it feels like to be alive and you need Marvin to remind you.
I get the chills. His music is so heartfelt ❤️
"When you left, you took all of me with you" ... "oh please baby, come back home to me girl" those are my favorite parts
I told my husband that when he left , and when he came back we got married.❤❤

Mavin was a masterpiece
Rebirth of marvin, October London, just listen to it, back to your place, you'll be stunned.
this was the first song that came to mind when I heard back to your place
This ia Absolutely a beautiful song. He had a way of putting his all into his songs.
Myree Williams love him
Being young and poor , living in Flint Michigan in the mid 70s this song made us all happy and at peace with a changing world…..
Marvin was my man. Loved all his music. But, this one here, blows my mind. Used to play the 45rpm over & over, until I had to buy a new one. I can relate to all his music. And the meanings of his songs have stood the test of time. For instance, you can play this tune 50 years from now. And people could still relate to it. Timless music and soul. Bless you Marvin, for having the knowledge and skills to made your music everlasting.
Exactly,
A real man will do anything for his love not only hiding ....
It's 2021 and this song's still better than any love song out today 👌🏾
The artists today could never write like this 🎶💯💖
He is telling a story if you really listen carefully 😊
BACK WHEN PEOPLE SANG
ironically, hes lip-syncing

If Marvin had met you, he'd be singing you a song too. As beautiful as you are.
Marvin gaye is the epitome of real love music and enduring obstacles in life to never give up and keep fighting and to love every one no matter what nationality or ethnicity you are
I Love you, MARVIN, FOREVER.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ This song, and If I Should Die Tonight, are So Beautiful, and tear at your heart!! MARVIN'S Voice is Once in a LIFETIME!! I'M So Thankful we are able to hear him, even though even gone. Rest in Peace, MARVIN 💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️♥️♥️♥️
