You're All I Need To Get By...

Today April 29th ...is Tammi Terrell's birthday......she achieved such great fame in her duets with Marvin Gaye.
When I first saw this dress at an estate sale, I heard Tammi's voice singing with Marvin.....
I was pretty happy to see pics of her in a dress so much like this one....






 My neon green dress is sold....but...
Here's the lovely sequin neckline and the cutaway arms.......and I had this very hairdo in 8th grade....


In dark green chiffon...similar style....with Marvin Gaye....



and a full length view....


Terrell's career was interrupted when she collapsed into Gaye's arms as the two performed at an October 14, 1967 concert, with Terrell later being diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had eight unsuccessful operations before succumbing to the brain cancer on March 16, 1970 at the age of 24.



2 of my favorite songs from the  60s....
