"You Are My Sunshine" is a popular song recorded by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell and first recorded in 1939.

 Gaye originally recorded the song in 1964, but the song was shelved by Motown staff.
 When Motown's UK department, Tamla-Motown, issued "The Very Best of Marvin Gaye", the label included the song as the final song in the track listing.
 Following, positive buzz from Marvin's fans in England, Tamla-Motown released the song as a single in the UK where it reached number sixty-seven on the UK Singles Chart in 1994 giving Gaye his fourth posthumous hit, a decade after his death.
"Heavy Love Affair" is a funk song recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye.
 Released as the second and last single off Gaye's last Motown album, "In Our Lifetime", in 1981, the song was based on Gaye's real-life emotional crisis after being separated from his wife at the time.
 In some parts of the song, Gaye knows that he's a major female attraction but still feels the warmth of his lost love saying "lots of ladies love me/but it's still a lonesome town" bringing that point clearer in the next verse saying "you got me looking for love (again)".
 The song became one of his lowest-charted Billboard hits on the R&B side reaching just #61 there becoming the final release of Gaye's on the Tamla (Motown) label before he left the label for Columbia the next year.
 The musical background of this song originally came from the song, "Life's a Game of Give and Take" from Marvin's aborted 1979 release, "Love Man"
Marvin Gaye at the Copa is a live album recorded at the exclusive New York club, the Copacabana, where singer Marvin Gaye performed in August 1966, over a year following The Supremes' ballyhooed 1965 performance there.
 Marvin was only one of just a few R&B musicians after Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson to perform at the club where performers such as Sammy Davis, Jr., Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra had performed at regularly.
 Marvin was the second act from Berry Gordy's fabled Motown label following the Supremes to perform at the nightclub and would be followed by The Temptations in 1968 and Martha (Reeves) and the Vandellas that same year.
 According to the liner notes later on, Marvin's performance there was a success, however, an ongoing feud between Gaye and his brother-in-law, Motown recording boss Gordy, was said to have been one of the reasons why the album was eventually shelved with the duo fighting over how the album was to be produced.
 The album had been scheduled for release in January 1967 as Tamla 273 before its permanent shelving.
 In 2005, Hip-O Select Records, a Motown-associated label created to re-release or release unreleased material from Motown's vaults re-mastered sessions from this album and released it that year.
