who wrote i want you marvin gaye
This song was written by the Motown songwriter Leon Ware and his songwriting partner T-Boy Ross (Diana Ross' brother). Ware originally intended to record it himself, but after Motown CEO Berry Gordy heard a rough version of it, he convinced Ware to give the song to Marvin Gaye. When Gaye recorded the song in 1975, the singer was inspired by his relationship with his nineteen-year-old girlfriend Janis Hunter.
