“If This World Were Mine“ Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell Live Play Performance

An excerpt from the 2002 musical “You’re All I Need To Get By: The Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell Story“ by Michael Ajakwe Jr. that was mounted here in Los Angeles. In this scene, after being inspired by something Tammi (played by Ashley Ta’Mar Davis) told him the previous day, Marvin (played by William L. Johnson) high tails it to Hitsville USA to share his new composition with Tammi and they sing it toghether. [The unseen Funk Bros. you don’t see are Keith “Beetle“ Price (drums), Earl Harris (guitar) and Scott “Bugs“ Allen (bass) / The smoothe and melodic background singers you don’t see are Pamela Walker, Sy Smith, Caren Handley and Sonja Maia Harper]
