The first time I heard this song was riding with a couple guys I had just met on a flight from NYC to Detroit in the late 1970s.

I had just left NYC for the first time because I just couldn’t swing it on my own. I had worked at a bordello that was busted shortly after I started working there. Luckily, I wasnt there when things went bad. I worked for a cute and tough blonde named Audrey on E. 39th St. who hadn’t paid off the right people at the right time and I didn’t know how to regroup. So I went home to the D till a couple years later when I tried again, learned the ropes of NYC, and ended up working at another establishment on E. 39th St. (Murray Hill) again...

Anyway, I met a couple bruhs on the plane from NYC to Detroit who offered me a ride home. On the ride home, Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On came on the radio and they asked me if I had heard this song and knew about Marvin falling in love with Janis. I hadn’t heard jack even though it was the biggest love affair in Black music at the time.

They asked me to think of them every time I heard this song. And I still think of think of them 40 years later whenever I hear it. This entire album was off the hook. Outstanding.

I wonder if they ever think of me.
