The Shirelles do Marvin Gaye




I posted up a Shirelles cover of “Ain’t No Sunshine” last week. To my surprise, the track got 300+ plays on YouTube in 1 day. I decided to post a few more of the choice cuts from the album since it seems the people like it. For in-depth info on the Shirelles album and the group, check out the previous post.

In this track, The Shirelles take on the master, Marvin Gaye – medley style. In a pure funky and soulful 6 minute groove, they take on the hits from Gaye’s landmark album “What’s Going On?” including Mercy Mercy Me“, “Inner City Blues“, and “What’s Going On?. The sweet harmonies do justice to the Marvin Gaye classics, giving them a much different feel than the originals.
