More about Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing was the first single by Marvin Gaye after he departed from his long-term record label Motown. The song was a part of Gaye's seventeenth and final studio album from 1982, Midnight Love. It is widely considered one of Gaye's most influential songs as well as one of the greatest of all time.
Sexual Healing has been described as funk, post-disco, and soul song. Smooth Radio described the song's purpose, saying:
"Marvin Gaye had built a reputation for being a 'ladies man' (writing 'Let's Get It On' certainly makes a case for it), but always struggled with the conflict of his religious beliefs and his outwardly s*xual persona. He was the son of a preacher, was himself a devout Protestant Christian, but had his most success with songs that focused on his s*xual desire."
Speaking further about the song's inspiration, it said:
"During early studio sessions for what was going to be 1982 Midnight Love, Gaye was visited in Ostend by writer David Ritz who wanted to write his autobiography. Ritz saw Marvin's unusually large pornography collection and joked he was in need of some "s*xual healing", which as we now know became the track's title and lyrical inspiration."
Sexual Healing was ranked number 233 in the Rolling Stones' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
