Álbum Take Two de Marvin Gaye - Canciones
Take Two
Reseña
El disco Take Two, de 1966, es la primera incursión completa de Marvin Gaye en el formato de álbum de duetos, en esta ocasión junto a la talentosa cantante de Motown Kim Weston. Este trabajo, por lo tanto, sirvió como prototipo para los legendarios duetos que grabaría posteriormente, estableciendo una fórmula de éxito basada en la interacción de dos voces poderosas.
El álbum es una colección de soul enérgico y optimista, cuyo mayor exponente es el inolvidable éxito "It Takes Two". De hecho, esta canción se convirtió en un clásico de Motown, una celebración del amor y la compenetración con una energía contagiosa. La química vocal entre Gaye y Weston es innegable, con ambas voces empastando a la perfección.
Por otro lado, el resto del disco mantiene un alto nivel de profesionalidad y encanto, con canciones que siguen el patrón del sonido Motown de la época. En definitiva, "Take Two" es un trabajo delicioso y un capítulo importante en la carrera de Marvin Gaye, el primer paso que le consolidaría como uno de los mejores compañeros de dueto de la historia del soul.

[X]letra de It Takes Two
(William "Mickey" Stevenson/Sylvia Moy)
(with Kim Weston)
HER: One can have a dream, baby
HIM: Two can make that dream so real
HER: One can talk about bein' in love
HIM: Two can say how it really feels
HER: One can wish upon a star
HIM: Two can make that wish come true, yeah
HER: One can stand alone in the dark
HIM: Two can make the light shine through
CHORUS (BOTH):
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two
HER: One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery
HIM: Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
HER: One can be alone in a car, on a night like these all alone
HIM: Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Just takes two, just takes two
HER: One can go out to a movie, lookin' for a special treat
HIM: Two can make that single movie somethin' really kinda sweet
HER: One can take a walk in the moonlight, thinkin' that it's really nice
HIM: But two walkin' hand-in-hand is like addin' just a pinch of spice
(repeat chorus and fade)

[X]letra de What Good Am I Without You
(with Kim Weston)
BOTH:
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh
HER:
What good would a rose be if the raindrops didn't fall?
What good is a telephone if there's no one to call?
What good is a wedding if no one says "I do"?
Tell me, baby what good am I without you?
BOTH:
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh
HIM:
What good is a flier if he don't have a plane?
What good is a doctor if he can't cure the pain?
Tell me, what good is a sweetheart who proves to be untrue?
What good, baby, am I without you?
HIM: I'm no good without you, and there's one thing I know
HER: I just got to have you, darling, 'cause I love you so
HIM: What good is living without the one you love?
HER: And what good is the heavens without the stars above?
HIM: What good is a true heart that proves to be broken in two?
BOTH (repeat and fade): What good, baby, am I without you?
