TAMMI TERRELL
In 1968 the Motown duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell brushed the
top 5 on the pop chart and achieved a #1 hit on the R&B survey with
"You're All I Need To Get By." The flip side of that single is another
Marvin & Tammi duet entitled "Two Can Have a Party." The song
was originally recorded in 1966 as a Tammi Terrell solo. Marvin's
vocal track was dubbed in later to form the duet for their single.
