[Daddy]

I always knew we would see this come back. It's just too strong of a song to not be revived

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

907K daily streams for a song released in 1966, in 2023?

 

Oh, Marvin Gaye you will always be famous for this classic alone. 
 

Poor Diana Ross though. 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Diana's version is superior honey

As a Diana Ross fan, I agree, but I honestly feel the song is overrated. This already had a resurrection in 2003. We don't need to do this every 20 years or so.

[Bacardo Royale]

That was a classic, that was a classic

[JoAddams]

I'm here for only Diana's version

Ross’ version is more charming, whimsical and idiosyncratic, especially with the delicate, spoken-word verses. It’s a fantastic Pop rendition. 
 

Gaye and Terrell‘s version is more soulful, upbeat and a perfect sing-a-long. 
 

I also go back and forth between both often but the original is clearly what has connected more strongly with the GP over the decades. 
 

It’s different with, let’s say, “Lady Marmalade”. The remake is just better in every way. Labelle’s original is fun but not as pleasant in my opinion.

Amazing. 
 

Poor Tammi Tarrell though. She deserved more.

 

Was she really physically and domestically abused by James Brown?

[GreatestLoveofAll]

Diana's version is superior but thats nice for Tami and Marvin!

[lonnie]

I didn't know it was this close to a billion

Tammi deserved so much more than she got from this world so this is really nice
