Written by Ashford and Simpson, this song is credited to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell but Tammi is seriously ill with cancer and is almost certain to die soon. She was too sick to actually record this so Marvin recorded it with Valerie Simpson providing the female vocals in the studio, with a plan to edit in Tammi Terrell's vocals once she was able to record them. It is uncertain whether that ever happened, so this could well be Marvin Gaye & Valerie Simpson, but Tammi is credited.

With all that, it is very clear there is no video of them singing it together and therefore for once I will have to post an audio.

8th November 2019

It's 2 weeks on top for Archie Bell & The Drells' Northern Soul fab dance track, with only Lee Marvin entering the top 10, taking the number of Paint Your Wagon tracks in the top 10 to 2. Junior Walker and The Jackson 5 take Motown's presence up to 4 in the 20, and the biggest climber is Roger Whittaker's Durham Town to 31 with Lulu not far behind up to 38, and Neil Diamond joining them along with Led Zep's first and Shocking Blue's only top 40 tracks. 

Highest new entry is the Rolling Stones new album track Gimme Shelter at 61, with Bobbie Gentry Fancy-ing her 3rd of 1969 this time back in Country mode, and she's not even started on the Glen Campbell duets yet. The Manhattans debut with a classy flop some 7 years ahead of their classy hits in the UK, Engelbert keeps the entries coming - and he's notched up quite the run so far given how much I'd poo-poo him in my teen 70's years - and The Archies have a bonafide non-album new follow-up to the still chart-topping Sugar Sugar in Jingle Jangle, a pleasant choice but I'd still have gone with You Little Angel You.

Otis Leavill brings some cool Atlantic soul, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell take their last recorded track The Onion Song in ahead of Tammi's death (Valerie Simpson claims she helped on the vocals but Tammi went through it line by line while terminally ill and they "tweaked" the vocals where needed - so both of them contributing). Not one of my faves of their duets, though, and her passing had a profound impact on Gaye and his career. Nancy Sinatra pops in with a minor pop ditty as her chart career starts to wind down without Lee Hazelwood (as does his without her) so just as well they get it together again in 2 years time. Finally Gene Pitney pops in with a popular US hair advert song of the time - a rival version by The Tokens was more orchestral and harmony-based.
