Easy choice for me as he's the musical artist whose music I most relate to.

know exactly what ya mean; ya got a favorite of mine in there, Ramblin Gamblin Man - GREAT tune

Marvin Gaye - I'll Be Doggone

Marvin Gaye - Ain't That Peculiar

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Marvin Gaye - Stubborn Kind of Fellow

Marvin Gaye - Hitchhike

Marvin Gaye - Pride and Joy

Marvin Gaye - Can I Get A Witness

Marvin Gaye - Too Busy Thinking About My Baby

That's one of my favorites too. I also wanted to pick Roll Me Away and Tryin' to Live My Life Without You, but I couldn't find the best versions.

Those are really good too.

love his really old stuff; Lucifer, 2+2 On my Mind, East Side Story, Back in '72. . .

One of my older brothers got to see him at Joe Louis, here in Detroit when they taped the Live Bullet album back in the 70's. I never got to see him play but I've heard from many that he does an amazing show.

@mojofilter

I'll need another day before I can post my noms. There's a good chance that I broke my finger tonight, and typing is very painful right now.

If you can't wait and you want to start without me, I'll understand.

So, are we doing this? Hopefully more people join. I barely mustered up the courage to join a tournament!

Come on then Gats, name your man!

So many great singers but I'm not prepared to see my lifelong favourite singer Bob Dylan crash and burn with people laying hate on him, so he's not my choice. Springsteen would be good but I can't separate him from the E St Band and that amazing bunch of musicians. Could've done some of his solo stuff I suppose from Nebraska and Devils and Dust etc, but so many of those are slow contemplative songs which never go down well either so I'm keeping him close to my heart.
Going to nominate a guy who's written some good stuff recently:



Rag 'n'Bone Man - Lay My Body Down

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Life In Her Yet

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Wolves

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Human

Rag 'n' Bone Man - As You Are

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Grace

Rag 'n' Bone Man - Skin

Rag 'n' Bone Man - No Mother

-

I'm in Mojo .. will post by tonight
