Perhaps motivated by the 50th anniversary of "Let's Get It On", from where
"Come Get To This" originated, is an admirable new cover by
L. Young released on 26 Sep. Faithful to the original and
even looking a little like Marvin of the cover image with the beard and
headgear.
Surprisingly, there aren't too many covers of the song that we know of. The first by Nancy Wilson on her 1975 album of the same name, Bobbi Humphrey semi-inst. jazz version ("City Beat" 1988) and more recent versions by L.J. Reynolds ("Get To This" 2011), Joe ("Signature" 2012) and K-Jon ("Man" 2013). There are one or two others which are not particularly worthy versions.
His last single was also a cover of Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" in Nov
'22 and prior to that an original song "I Ain't Gonna Waste Your Time" (Mar '22). You may recall a single he released on vinyl on
Soultownie in 2019, an excellent modern soul double-sider which
included "Can't Get You Off My Mind" / "Ms-Supa Thick".
L. Young (Lawrence Terron Young) was born in Louisville, KY, and is a
singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, keyboardist based in L.A. who, to
