Soul Train BOTBs Round 1 (1970s) - #3 Marvin Gaye vs #6 Bill Withers

#3 Marvin Gaye

I'm pretty torn here. I probably enjoy Bill Withers very best songs over Marvin Gaye's top one. But Marvin Gaye is in the same category as Stevie Wonder in terms of being a major 60's star who was successfully able to go onto even bigger Stardom in the 70's and stay relevant into the 80's

I'd have probably taken Bill Withers over half of the artists in this field ... just not against Marvin

Marvin Gaye is going to be a tough out. His longevity - basically 20 years of being relevant - is rivaled by few here.

It honestly pained me to vote against Bill Withers ... I'm far more likely to listen to his songs than Marvin's ... that being said Marvin is better.

This is fucking BRUTAL seeding for Bill. It's hard to go against Marvin... but how do you live in a Coke den with your jealous cross dressing dad and let him shoot you? Bill Withers didn't do that shit.

He also did this, which is a top 1% musical moment from the 20th century.

Still Bill is outstanding. I think you will enjoy the extended versions of all his songs.

We’ll have to do a future thread about the best sounding reissues. Mobile Fidelity’s Aretha’s Gold is next level
