Since I Had You
"Since I Had You" is a quiet storm-styled soul song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye for the '' I Want You'' album. The song was co-written by Gaye and the album's producer, Leon Ware. Background The song was initially conceived by Ware and lyricist Pam Sawyer with the title, "Long Time No See". One day, outside Marvin's Room, Gaye told Ware that he liked the melody, but he wanted to rewrite the lyrics. Ware approved Gaye's suggestion and they immediately went back in the studio. Sawyer arrived when Gaye was halfway through the song and she was not happy with the new lyrics. Sawyer then pulled Ware to the side of the studio and they started to argue about the lyric change. Ware pointed out that it would be hard to convince Gaye to sing the original lyrics because according to Ware, Gaye had a known reputation of leaving the studio if anyone criticized him in the process of recording. Ware then told her, “You’ll have to tell Marvin yourself.” Sawyer left afterward. As time ...

Song Recordings Produced By Marvin Gaye
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...

I Want You (Marvin Gaye Song)
"I Want You" is a song written by songwriters Leon Ware and Arthur "T-Boy" Ross and performed by singer Marvin Gaye. It was released as a single in 1976 on his fourteenth studio album of the same name on the Tamla label. The song introduced a change in musical styles for Gaye, who before then had been recording songs with a funk edge. Songs such as this gave him a disco audience thanks to Ware, who produced the song alongside Gaye. The song also stood to be one of Marvin's most popular singles during his later Motown period followed by his sabbatical following the release of 1973's ''Let's Get It On''. The song eventually reached number fifteen on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart. It also became a disco hit, reaching number ten on the Disco Singles Chart alongside " After the Dance".

Feel All My Love Inside
''I Want You'' is the fourteenth studio album by American soul singer and songwriter Marvin Gaye. It was released on March 16, 1976, by the Motown Records-subsidiary label Tamla. Gaye recorded the album during 1975 and 1976 at his studio Marvin's Room in Los Angeles and at Motown's Detroit-based Hitsville West studio. The album has often been noted by critics for producer Leon Ware's cinematic, downtempo sound, the erotic themes in his and Gaye's songwriting, and the singer's prominent use of the synthesizer. The album's cover artwork adapts neo-mannerist artist Ernie Barnes's famous painting ''The Sugar Shack'' (1971). ''I Want You'' consisted of Gaye's first recorded studio material since his highly successful and well-received album '' Let's Get It On'' (1973). While it marked a change in musical direction for Gaye, departing from his trademark Motown and doo-wop-influenced sound for funky, light-disco soul, the album maintained and expanded on his previous work's sexual ...

Marvin's Room (studio)
Marvin's Room (originally named ''Marvin Gaye Studios'') is a recording studio founded by American recording artist Marvin Gaye in Los Angeles. Created by the singer in 1975 soon after re-negotiating his deal with Motown, the singer built the studios on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood as a spacious apartment-like complex, big enough to be a studio, home and, for a time, a dance club. It was once called "the Studio 54 of the West Coast". There, Gaye recorded his late-1970s material including '' I Want You'', ''Here, My Dear'', the hit single "Got to Give It Up", his shelved ''Ballads'' album (later released as the ''Vulnerable'' album in 1997), and a shelved disco-styled album, ''Love Man'', which was later re-worked and released in 1981 as '' In Our Lifetime''. Gaye's studio would often run parties where many of the Hollywood elite including Diana Ross and Muhammad Ali and other musicians and even politicians would be spotted.
