I found these isolated Marvin Gaye tracks last night - being a big Marvin fan I couldn't miss my opportunity to jam with him!

That's pretty sweet. Marvin could sure swing. Nice work.

Great reharmonization and arrangement Aaron! Makes me feel like I'm a loafer using the traditions changes most of the time.

Your work is very distiguishable from the others in the pack.

Thanks man! Listening to Marvin sing makes me pine for the days before auto-tune. I am so sick of hearing auto-tune on every singer on the radio. Such a genius - he knew how to make the natural variations of a voices pitch sound so perfect and musical. He stands out to me amongst that genre as being so musical.

Wow, too much fun Kung, thanks! What chord progression/reharmonization are you using?

I am staying fairly close to the original, adding a few inversions and relative Major/Minors, that is all. So - Ebm, Cb, Bb, Ab (with inversions) on the verse. Original chords on the transition, and on the chorus Ebm, Fdim, Cb, Ab, Bb7. I tried to get fancier but really some simple inversions and relative major minors were all it needed and all that could work.
