As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

#97 I Want You -- Marvin Gaye (1976)



This was not Marvin’s biggest hit or most significant song, but it may have been his best groove (which probably means that Robin Thicke will borrow it for his next album). 

Memory can be a funny thing. I could have sworn that the song was performed on the legendary Motown 25 TV special, but I can’t find any trace of such a performance online.
