| Description: | â??I Want Youâ??, while it a Top Ten smash for Marvin Gaye in 1976, is not as generally as well-known as its predecessors. From the amazing Ernie Barnes cover painting â??Back to Sugar Shackâ?? to the Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson string and horn arrangements to Leon Ware's exotic production that relied on keyboards as well as drums and basses as rhythm instruments, â??I Want Youâ?? was a giant leap for Gaye. Itâ??s an adult album about intimacy, sensuality, and commitment, and decades later they still reverberate with class, sincerity, grace, intense focus, and astonishingly good taste. â??I Want Youâ?? is as necessary as anything Gaye ever recorded. - REMASTEREDFirst released in 1976, the sensual I Want You album continues to grow in stature and influence. Highlights include the #1 R&B chart smash "I Want You" and the classic slow jam "After the Dance." the cover art features a legendary painting by Ernie Barnes, recreated faithfully for the CD.Similar to: [r=10385218] only with alternate Matrix/Runout info.

"I Want You" is a landmark soul and R&B album by Marvin Gaye, presented here in its CD format and produced under the legendary Motown label. Originally released in the mid-1970s, the record stands out for its sensual atmosphere, lush arrangements and seamless blend of soul, funk and quiet-storm elements. The title track "I Want You" became one of Gaye's signature songs, characterized by its hypnotic groove, yearning vocals and sophisticated production. Across the album, flowing song transitions and layered instrumentation create an intimate, cohesive listening experience that feels like a single, continuous suite of emotion.
On this CD edition, listeners can rediscover the warm, detailed sound design that helped redefine romantic soul. The tracks are built around deep basslines, delicate keyboards, strings and subtle percussion, while Gaye's voice moves from tender whispers to impassioned pleas. Lyrically, "I Want You" focuses on desire, vulnerability and the complexity of relationships, giving the album an intensely personal tone. Even decades after its first release, it remains influential for contemporary R&B and neo-soul artists who draw on its sophisticated blend of groove and introspection.
Marvin Gaye is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in soul music history. Rising to fame in the 1960s with Motown, he became known for both romantic hits and socially conscious works. Among his greatest successes are albums such as "What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On", as well as timeless singles like "Sexual Healing". His ability to merge emotional depth with musical innovation has made him a reference point for generations of singers, producers and songwriters.
Motown, the manufacturer and label behind this release, is one of the most iconic names in popular music. Founded in Detroit, the company played a central role in bringing African-American music to a global audience and shaping the sound of 1960s and 1970s pop and soul. With a catalog that includes countless classics, Motown is synonymous with quality songwriting, tight production and charismatic performers.
