Written by Leon Ware, Marvin Gaye turned this into a love song intended for his second wife, this song positively steams with sexual tension. While not exactly explicit, there is an unmistakeable theme and sensation running through it which is akin to Marvin screaming I want to fuck you NOW . The distorted guitar adds another edge to it which makes it stand out from a lot of seventies soul. His voice is as smooth and as passionate as ever and it does not take long before you realise that Gaye has made " I Want You " his own song with his passion and feeling. Its release came at a time when Gaye was much more in control of his artistic creativity than before and it shows. Hardly surprising though that this bombed as a single in the UK too close to the bone.
