Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox song "Everybody Needs Love" is a 1977 song recorded by American soul singer Marvin Gaye, co-composed with "Let's Get It On" co-writer Ed Townsend.[1] The song was issued on the singer's confessional 1978 album, Here, My Dear. Though most of the songs on the album were based on a mostly antagonistic view of Gaye's first wife, Anna Gaye, a few songs like this stood out which discussed how everybody needed love.
Background
The song was based on a religious theme and was switched around by Marvin in certain areas including the lyrics And my father/he needs love/that's true, baby/and I need love too hinting at the tempestuous relationship between Marvin and his minister-father Marvin, Sr. The song's musical background was also used to introduce the album on the title track.
