Marvin Gaye Sings the Anthem

23rd August 2008

This post was written by Benji

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!

Listen to Marvin Gaye - “The Star Spangled Banner“

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
