Mercy Mercy Me

[Bazile]

What a Fantastic interpretation of this Marvin Gaye sony ; by Robert Palmer



Oh , the bass and the muted trumpet - simply magic

I could listen to this all day

Do you share my opinion ?

[andy-hughes]

Not especially to be honest.

I am not a big fan of either artist, or the song, so it doesn't tick any boxes for me.

[murraymints]

very nice....

[murraymints]

have always been a RP fan

[The Builder]

I agree,Baz. I like this arrangement even more than the original. A great singer, very much missed.

Randy Brecker (top Jazz trumpeter) played on some sessions. It could be him on this.

I like the record but it's ca. 25 years old. Have you just recently heard it?

[magicmick]

Sorry Bazile each to their own, but this really grates on me, never been a fan of RP and this song just underlines that.

I've heard it been played regularily on Smooth Radio , over the last year or so .

Silly as it may sound , i really dont know if i have heard it before then ( i must have heard the Marvin Gaye version )

[Bazile]

magicmick -no need to be sorry - it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing - dont you think ?

For example , I dont get what all the fuss is about Paul McCartney or the beatles music

[tonyav]

Great song, but no one can beat the Marvin Gaye ( original ) version imo.

[Bazile]

Here is Marvin Gaye

[magicmick]

Agree about Beatles Bazile, it was always the Stones for me.
