“Your Precious Love” #5 11/4/1967

The biggest pop hit for the duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, although they would have two subsequent #1 R&B hits. Written by Ashford and Simpson and produced by Harvey Fuqua and Johnny Bristol, who both provided backing vocals. Fuqua was a founding member of the Moonglows who originally did "Sincerely" in 1954, which became a huge hit for the McGuire Sisters. He was once married to Berry Gordy's sister and parlayed all that into an executive position at Motown.
