A great rendtion of the national anthem, I am not one who stands up for the anthem(and haven't since high school) but hearing Marvin's version might make me DANCE !!!!! and since the Team USA used this song in it's Nike commerical it made it hip. I do remember the controversy when Gaye sang it 25 years ago at the 1983 All- Star Game but seeing the Nike Commerical made me want to see one of Marvin's greatest musical moments the orginal verison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A Team USA version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbZTmcIfdBQ And congrats TEAM USA Hoops for all the negative BS from our friendly American Media and fickle anti- nba hoops fans you bought home the GOLD against a great Spanish Team.
