1. Great song I haven't heard in too many years!

[mr_lebowski]

2. Me neither ... Spotify spun it up for me randomly and I was like DAMN!

Been way too long! I'm sharing this!

Of course, it's about as 'Marvin Gaye' as you can possibly get without being Marvin Gaye ... but still great!

3. I despise his superstar 80s stuff, but man his 70s stuff was great

The stuff w/ Touissaint, the Meters, Little Feat. Dude was funky.

5. Ignore the video if you don't like sexy girls on skateboards ...

But this remix of this song is pretty damn badass ... give it a minute ... it gets good!

4. Good one!

6. lyrics

Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man up on his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life
There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black, or white
Each and every man's the same inside
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
D-doo, doo, doo, doo, dum, dum, dum, ooh-ooh
You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul, ooh
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go 'round
Mmm, every kinda people
To make what life's about
