I haven't even completed your entire treatise yet, but the portion on Marvin & Tammi blew me away. You beautifully express so many of my own feelings and observations through the years! I happened to find your masterpiece because I was searching for observations of today being the anniversary of Tammi Terrell's death. I am a HUGE fan of Marvin Gaye's artistry and an even greater fan of Tammi's if that's possible. I HAD to share this site with readers on the popular Soul Music forum SoulfulDetroit.com where I post under the moniker PositiveSoul. I hope you'll check it out. More importantly, I hope others from the Forum will come on board to experience your deep soulful reflections, especially upon a profoundly talented songbird, not always given her due! THANK YOU! Please reach out to me vua email. Kalamu ya Salaam… all I can say is WOW! and THANK YOU! I haven’t even completed your entire treatise yet, but the portion on Marvin & Tammi blew me away.

I still can't trace how I found it. I think I was reading The Root and found a link. Whatever it was meant to be. Thank you is not enough. The message is in the song of Tammi & Marvin, heaven surely sent you. breath of life is truly a saving grace. I still can’t trace how I found it. I think I was reading The Root and found a link.

Wow!!! And then when you hooked the deep felt love of Tammi & Marvin with Michelle & Barack, Man! You hit it so on the head. You recognized and uplifted a universal love demonstrated in (but not exclusive to) these two African American couples. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The heartbreak is tangible, too much...yet the song is probably one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever heard. Thanks for the article. Carmen Kalamu,

I was just thinking about Tammy and decided to do some research and learn about her. I was born a few years after she died, but have come to love and admire her work. This was a great read and I've learned alot! Thank you! Thank you so much for this. I was just thinking about Tammy and decided to do some research and learn about her.

I'm a soul/reggae singer living in Paris by the way. Tammy Terrell was just perfect her eyes, her smile everything was so natural she was singing with all her heart and feeling. She is an example for us. And by us , I mean for black women by the way her and all the great black divas (Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross..) are an example for us they stayed strong and shown a positive vision although the context they were living in was so hard...Thanks again for this article it's fabulous everything has been related the context....
