Marvin Gaye - You're A Wonderful One Lyrics
You are so wonderful
That being near you is all I'm living for
You show me more kindness in little ways
Than I've ever known in all my days
Tell me we'll stay together
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
[From now on, backing vocals: "Wonderful one"]
In you there is a rare quality
Your love, baby, it means the world
For me you're always concerned
And you ask nothin', baby, in return
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
Oh you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
Sweetheart, you're a wonderful one
My darlin', you're a wonderful one
Ooo you're a wonderful one
Ooo you're a wonderful one
Mmm hmm you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
But your love, you're always around
Words of confidence you speak to me
Baby, and you place a tender kiss on my cheek
It makes my burden a little bit lighter
It makes my life a little bit brighter
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
[Repeat and fade:]
Oh you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
...

"You're A Wonderful One" by the late Marvin Gaye was released on the Tamla label back in 1964.
On this day in 1964 {May 23rd} Marvin Gaye performed "You're A Wonderful One"* and "Try It Baby" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
And both songs peaked at #15 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, "You're A Wonderful One" for two weeks on April 12th, 1964 and "Try It Baby" for one week on July 19th, 1964...
Both records made the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart, "You're A Wonderful One" at #3 and "Try It Baby" at #6...
Between 1962 and 2005 the Washington, DC native had sixty-three records on the Hot R&B Singles chart, thirty-eight made the Top 10 with thirteen reaching #1, plus an additional seven peaked at #2...
Twenty-one of his sixty-three charted records were duets; twelve with Tammi Terrell, five with Diana Ross, and two each with Mary Wells and Kim Weston...
And he had one charted record as a member of a quartet, "Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father)", with Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder...
Sadly, Marvin Pentz Gay Jr. passed away on April 1st, 1984, one day before his 45th birthday...
May he R.I.P.
* Some internet sites claim he did performed "You're A Wonderful One" on the May 23rd, 1964 'Bandstand' show, some say maybe he did???
Starting out as a bass player to one of the best singers in the country......We miss you so much Marvin.

Isn't it funny that just by hearing a sound in my shop this morning, that it reminded me of this song. God bless Marvin, Motown, and Detroit!
" Hot off the press! " what we use to say
can anyone tell me who the background singers are?
Not sure about this track, but Martha Reeves sang on a lot of Marvin's early works
The Supremes (with Flo front and center!!)
Love this song
One of the great Motown hits of Marvin Gaye not on the CD shown in the thumbprint Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye.
Love Marvin Gaye!
No group of Supremes or Vandellas on this one, just FLORENCE BALLARD alone on background vocals!
Fatherhood
Love it!
if we ever needed happy music like this it's certainly now. terrific music.
Effortless!!
HAPPY NATIONAL TAPIOCA PUDDING DAY!

Bowfinger
wonder if hey played the drum soundtrack during rehearsals
We don't hear enough early/mid 1960s Marvin Gaye. Too much Grapevine, Let's Get It On etc.
I am so excited I discovered so many of Marvin's early hits (YouTube is the best) … How Sweet It Is!!!
Coming To America Brought me here
when does it come out in that movie? I remember it from Bowfinger which also has Eddie Murphy!
hold
uuurrrr. you dumb clown. take us to queens at once.
good as Marvin is, the backup singers are right in there, powerfully!!
The "background singers" had 12 #1 hits of their own.
Sounds Chuck berry ish
@dat boi
Ike Turner-ish, too.:)
I couldn't figure out if this is a Chuck Berry or Bo Didley sound
The only background singer is the lovely FLORENCE BALLARD by herself.
A J yes it is
@Amazing King sorry I hear all three of them here, clear as a bell. Motown never on any song had a single background singer
Yes Indeed Beautiful Voice
This is music and how you express yourself to your loved one!
Florence is WAILING on this cut!! They didn't have her 17-19 feet from the mic on this one!!!!
My mama 'Mae E RHODES" LOVES THIS SONG 👼 LOVE U MAMA
Shawnfjpgo Rhodes 😍😍😍😍
Shawnfjpgo Rhodes mama 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Just watched Bowfinger.....but WAS already a Marvin Gay fan.
Song just came into my head, like visiting an old friend.
This song epitomizes the woman I'm in love with!!! Love you to death Belinda!!!
Just like there will never be another Sam Cooke there will never be another Marvin Gaye. From one that grew up in the era.
I grew up in Detroit in the 1960's!!! LUV MOTOWN!!!
Sally Weinreich lucky
Great music and cars
Mary J Blige family affair
I love it! Marvin Gaye with the Supremes on back ups. Florence Ballard is the top voice you hear in the background.
Do It Love It
A great song with the Supremes on background vocals.
That's Martha and Vandellas backing up Marvin on this one.
This is the one on only Florence Ballard and her powerful voice.
It's actually The Andantes doing backing vocals
It's definitely The Supremes, with Flo front and center, singing background on this track.
Its documented somewhere - maybe in Mary Wilson's book. This and "Can I get A Witness." I also think that The Supremes are also singing background on Marvin and Kim Weston's "Teach Me Tonight. Once one gets a clear sound of reference of Flo's voice, they'll always be able to pick up on it.
@Leslie Scarver Umm, no. That's incorrect.
Bowfinger bought me here. Love that movie and this song.
The first time i heard this song i fell in love with it.. Marvin Gaye is a legend
kavin ballard marvin was a legend
Me Too And That song that way Love It
His Dad was a bad Dude.
Don't disrespect your parent's home
Great classic.....
Great classic....
