Song of the Week!

This week's song is All I Do by Tammi Terrell. If you don't know who Tammi Terrell is (shame on you!), she was the female counterpart of Marvin Gaye in the mid to late 60s. They made songs like Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, Precious Love, and If This World Were Mine, just to name a few. Despite the fact that Tammi died in 1970 at the age of 24, of a brain tumor and never really had the chance to have a career that expressed her true potential, she made a very big impact with her duets with Marvin. Many know the song "All I Do" as a Stevie Wonder classic, but he originally wrote this song for Tammi in the 1960s. While his version is obviously amazing, Tammi offers a sweeter and more vulnerable rendition that left me not only in love with her, but also this rendition of the song. So, the song of the week is All I Do by the late Tammi Terrell.
