It also reached number 2 on the U.S. R&B singles chart in 1972. His third straight Top 10 Pop hit during his early solo career with Motown. It was also the first collaboration between Ware and Ross, the younger brother of legendary superstar Diana Ross. This song would be one of Jackson’s most covered songs, by singers including Marvin Gaye, Willie Hutch, Jason Weaver and later The Fugees. Ware and Ross also penned the classic Marvin Gaye hit, “I Want You” several years afterwards. _________________________________________________________________ “I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE“ COVERS & SAMPLE : While Willie Hutch's version opened his 1973 album Fully Exposed, Zulema had a dance hit with a disco version of the tune in 1974, featured on her RCA debut album Zulema (1975). In 1976 Marvin Gaye's cover was more of an instrumental excerpt for him singing the title and dedicating the track to his then-girlfriend Janis Hunter and his children Marvin III (referred as “little Marvin“ on the record), Nona and Frankie Christian. The alternate instrumental, later issued on a 2003 deluxe edition re-release of the I Want You album, was a funk-styled instrumental that featured Gaye's background vocals harmonizing throughout the track, which was also produced by Ware. In 1993 Weaver's cover followed, and then the Fugees' version was completely different save for the choruses sung by Lauryn Hill. Juelz Santana sampled the song on two tracks, “Did U Miss Me pts.1 & 2“, on the DJ Green Lantern mixtape Alive on Arrival. _________________________________________________________________ CREDIT FOR QUALITY : ChiefMouse : _________________________________________________________________ GOOGLE PLUS : MJJUOuttakesSongs _________________________________________________________________ FACEBOOK PAGE : _________________________________________________________________ “Please No Copyright Infringements Intended For Educational & Non-Profitable Use No Copyright Infringement Intended Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
