Wreckless Eric on Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)
Marvin Gaye
Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)
(Tamla 7-inch, 1971)
Wreckless Eric: “It’s just got a great groove. It has this great bass line and it’s a strange thing: it has that hysteria of inner city life but it also has this great calm about it somehow. I have the *What’s Going On album, but it’s always the 45 I turn to. The album is overwhelming, whereas that single always directly spoke to me. It’s the most un-ritzy Motown single, a lot of Motown was very showbiz, but this isn’t. It’s not just my favourite Motown record but one of my all time favourite records.”
