Sexual Healing
~ Recording by Marvin Gaye
Annotation
Note: Appears to be 2 different versions here the single version and the album version (distinct despite similar times) see: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/30181890
Per an edit note, lifted from Wikipedia:
"In the album version, Gaye and (Gordon) Banks' background vocals immediately come after the second bridge ends, but in the single version, Gaye repeats the vamp he had sung at the ending of the first bridge, this time with (Harvey) Fuqua's whispers added. The song ends with Gaye repeating the chorus line. As it fades out, Gaye can be heard singing, "please don't procrastinate, it's not good to masturbate."
