Soul大师Marvin Gaye最畅销的一张专辑，销量甚至超过了那张批判现实主义的《What's Going On》，成为1973年最炙手可热的R&B专辑，并在2004年入选了葛莱美名人堂。据Marvin Gaye自己的叙述，他录音的时候只是完全随意地对着麦克风嘀咕，而且甚至不知道自己说了些什么，他认为如果刻意去设计歌词反而不自然了，只要他足够放松，他随便说出的那些词语就会渐渐组合成完整的意思，就像一朵花渐渐开放一样。不管怎么说，这张在奇怪的理念下完成的专辑还是被很多人听懂并喜欢了，"Just to Keep You Satisfied" 和 "You Sure Love to Ball"等歌曲都被认为是Marin Gaye的代表作。 　　本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第165位。 　　After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What's Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let's Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye's passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and "You Sure Love to Ball"; silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody. With each performance laced with innuendo, each lyric a come-on, and each rhythm throbbing with lust, perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow decades later -- much copied, but never imitated.
