Stevie Wonder - "Too High" Dodo do do do dodo Do do dodo do dodo Dodo dodo do do Dodo do do do dodo Do do do do dodo do Dodo dodo dodo I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't touched the sky I'm too high... “Come Live With Me, Angel” is all about two lovers living in total isolation together. Seclusion was the name of the game when Marvin recorded the track, having recently bought a home in the hills of Topanga, California to be alone with his then-girlfriend and future wife Janis Hunter. A number of things drove Marvin and Jan into the hills. Firstly, the soul singer was still married to Anna Gordy at the time and Marvin did not wish to have his young new lover thrust into the limelight just yet, especially given the incredible success he achieved with Let’s Get it On and the public attention that ensued. In the song, Marvin promises to be a “good, experienced” guide to Jan in bed but even in his most sensual ballads to the woman he loves, he cannot help but appeal to her to not just be with him now but to “live with” him.
"Come Live with Me Angel" (sometimes written "Come Live with Me, Angel") is a song co-written by singer-songwriter Leon Ware, lyricist Jacqueline Dalya-Hilliard and singer-songwriter Marvin Gaye (uncredited). It was released first by Gaye on his 1976 album I Want You. Background[edit]The original title of the song was "Comfort". It was first recorded by Ware with singer Minnie Ripertion as a duet, with plans to release it as a single and include it in Ware's Musical Massage album.[1] At Gaye's house, Gaye was in a room listening to music, and Ware was in a different room playing an unreleased record that had three duets Ware did with Riperton. Gaye reportedly heard it through the wall and came to Ware and asked him, “What is that you’re playing?” Ware replied, “It’s my new album.” Subsequently, Ware invited Gaye to listen to the record, and soon enough, the inspired Gaye convinced Ware to give him the songs for his upcoming album, promising that he would "do the whole thing." Ware willingly agreed. Though it was never explicitly stated, one of the songs they listened to could've been the original version of "Come Live With Me, Angel".[2][3] Composition[edit]The song is in the key of B minor. The influences of the song derived from jazz and r&b/soul, which was Ware's usual songwriting style.[4] Recording[edit]The backing track on Gaye's version is the same one used on Ware's original version. Gaye's version featured his signature multi-tracked vocals on top of the backing track. Re-recording[edit]In 1995, a re-recorded version of "Come Live With Me, Angel" by Ware was featured on his album Taste The Love as the album's opening track. Releases[edit]In 2001, UK label Expansion Records made Ware's Musical Massage album available on CD for the first time. The CD included previously unreleased tracks, including the original version of "Come Live With Me, Angel". Motown then followed suit by releasing their own pressing of the album in 2003. Motown never issued Gaye's version of the song as a single in Gaye's lifetime, but in 2016, Universal Music Japan and Captain Vinyl released "Come Live With Me, Angel" alongside Meli'sa Morgan's original version of "Fool's Paradise" on 7-inch vinyl exclusively to the Japanese market.[5][6] Cover versions[edit]In 1994, South African singer Audrey Motaung covered "Come Live With Me, Angel" on her album Colours Can't Clash. In 2003, hip hop/rap group G-Unit sampled "Come Live With Me, Angel" on their song "Wanna Get to Know You" from their album Beg for Mercy. In 2012, American musician Mndsgn sampled "Come Live With Me, Angel" on his song "Yahlubba(nu)" from his album Feels. Personnel[edit]Gaye's version:
