February 15[edit]

Smokey Robinson's Possible Tribute to Marvin Gaye[edit]

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles covered a song called Abraham Martin and John in l969. Marvin Gaye covered the same song in 1970. They both added an extra verse to this song with a dedication to 'Bobby' - Robert F Kennedy. However I have heard the same song with the word 'Marvin' instead of 'Bobby' in the final verse. I cannot trace this version of the song on the Internet though many people I know recognise it. I want to know who sang it please. My guess is that it was re-recorded by Smokey Robinson in 1984 or 1985 as a tribute to Marvin Gaye who was shot on 1st April 1984 - hence the word 'Marvin' is substituted.Geekiss (talk) 18:08, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on Abraham, Martin & John has a basic outline of the song, but does not mention the specific version you speak of. You may want to search at Allmusic.com which should have the version you are looking for. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:45, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

immortal beloved end music[edit]

anyone know wut the piece of beethoven's music is called when the end credits r playing on immortal beloved? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwking (talk • contribs) 19:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The film's soundtrack listing at IMDB is here. I'm afraid I don't know which of the listed pieces is the one you are after, but the order in which the list is written suggests it may well be either Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13, Op. 130, or his oratorio Christus am Ölberg, Op. 85. Perhaps this will help you narrow it down? Ka renjc 22:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
