Star Spangled Banner: Marvin Gaye

We’ve talked about anthems here on this website before, but this little ditty is something entirely different.  If you’ve been watching the Olympics incessantly like I have, you may have heard a soul rendition to the Star Spangled Banner playing in the back of a Nike commercial about the USA Redeem Team.  Well, ladies and gents, that’s Marvin Gaye singing with a soft R&B soul riff behind him!

Take a listen and get all patriotic inside (for our American readers) or at least gain some respect for Marvin!

    Watched this live, it was amazing then, and it hasn’t aged a bit since. For the record, this is from the 1983 NBA All-Star Game at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, California. In case you were wondering why all those tall dudes were in their warmups ;)
