MARVIN GAYE, "Sexual Healing" | Midnight Love, 1982
Marvin Gaye was living in Belgium, hiding from his own troubles, trying to find inspiration while walking on the Ostend beaches. He was laying off the drugs. The coffee table at his place held porno mags. He was lonely. A friend visited. Noticed the condition of Marvin. Suggested that he needed some "sexual healing." Marvin agreed. Then he wrote this song. The first "baby" in it is a bottle uncorked, and contains in its extended pine everything that has ever been felt when one needs more than anything to lay down with another.
