High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Praise" is a 1981 gospel-inspired funk number released by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. The song, written by Gaye, is a tribute to not only his church upbringing but also to the sound of then-label mate Stevie Wonder, who is given a shout out on the song by Gaye. The song, equipped with horns, a propulsive drum beat, and Gaye's multi-layered vocals, returned Gaye to the top forty of Billboard's Black singles chart where it peaked at number 18 on that chart while reaching #1 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100. It was the actual first release off Gaye's controversial recording, In Our Lifetime. The song was originally recorded in 1979 under the title "A Lover's Plea" from the singer's canceled Love Man album. Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984), better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye, was an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist with a three-octave vocal range.
