about

I was inspired to write this song after reading the book Sweet Soul Music by Peter Guralnick, and Trouble Man The Life and Death of Marvin Gaye by Steve Turner - Great books, for any Soul Music fan

lyrics

Marvin Gaye was a troubled man
But he had nothing on me
I love sweet soul music please understand
But it never did set me free

Otis on the dock of the bay
He gave me girl satisfaction
Sam told me that a change would come
And we waited for that reaction

All Summertime
That's where its at
That's where its at

I was born under a bad sign
Like my man Booker T
I ate green onions, red beans and rice
Like Elanor Rigby

Aretha took me to Dr Feelgood
After killing me so softly
And I said a little prayer with her preacher man
I know that you was waiting for me

To get up off my thang
And take the night train home
Take the night train home

All Summertime
That's where its at
That's where its at

Yeah Marvin Gaye
Was a troubled man
Marvin Gaye was troubled man
Marvin Gaye was a troubled man
But he had nothing on me
