stipidstid Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 VERY well deserved. A certified classic that maintains its intricacy and impact 56 years removed from the initial inception. Marvin Gaye is a definitive legend, and Tammi Terrell deserved SO much more than what this cruel existence forced upon her. 1
blown away Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 This song is so good. It more than deserves the 1B streams. 1
Blade Runner Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 It's so funny how these old songs are SO short considering what stans and experts say about the Spotify/TikTok effect over songs' lenght lately. OT: Deserved.
Armani? Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 The 3rd female R&B song to reach 1 Billion on Spotify other than Rihanna & H.E.R. Rihanna - Needed Me H.E.R. - Best Part Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
pride4jc1222 Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 I prefer the Diana Ross version over this, but the song itself is way overhyped/overrated. I don't get the appeal of the song. This song was overplayed during the summer of 2003, and I got sick of it very quickly. Fortunate Son should reach 1 billion streams soon. Once it does, here is my ranking of the songs 50+ with 1B streams: Fortunate Son > Have You Ever Seen the Rain > Here Comes the Sun >>> Ain't No Mountain High Enough
alejandreaux Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 first Here Comes the Sun hitting 1B a couple days ago, and now this. it’s nice to see the 1960’s finally hitting the milestones it deserves. it looks like the true classics of that era will be revealing themselves one by one
slw84 Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Wow bethenney wow wasnt expecting but this is an amazing song.

LesFleur Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Yes. Marvin & Tammi deserve. Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing also deserves 1

pride4jc1222 Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Yeah, Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing is so much better. I used to hear this on my oldies station when they played only 60s and 70s music. Edited May 19, 2023 by pride4jc1222

OT: Deserved. because the commercial viabilty of the album format has increasingly lessened in modern times, single track lengths have indeed reverted to how they were in the 60s. The kicker is they were able to pack SO much in those 2 and a half minute songs back then whereas now there are no bridges and barely any key changes in a song.
Soda Pop Queen Posted May 20, 2023 Posted May 20, 2023 What a cultural landmark this song is. Very much deserved and I hope that the families of their respective estates are benefiting in some way from this, especially Tammi's.
