#525 LET'S GET IT ON Marvin Gaye
"Let's Get It On" attracted controversy upon its release in 1973 for its carnal theme. According to its co-writer Ed Townsend, the song was in fact initially about dealing with drug addiction. At the time of his inspiration, the songwriter was battling with alcoholism. The idea was to encourage addicts to get on with life. 
Marvin Gaye infused the song with its wooing quality. He co-produced the track with Townsend. Gaye also plays piano on the cut. "Let's..." was the title track of his album where most songs shifted the focus from social issues to more intimate subject matter. The single reached #1 Pop & R&B in America.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
