"What You Gave Me" is a hit duet written and produced by Ashford & Simpson and issued as a single originally by the vocal duo of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in 1969 on the Tamla label.
As with much of the album, there is debate over who sang with Gaye: Terrell, who was undergoing treatment for brain cancer, or the track's co-writer and co-producer, Valerie Simpson.
[1] Cash Box described it as a "finely honed vocal collaboration.
David Ruffin also recorded the song for his 1969 album Feelin' Good.
It was revived years later as a club hit by Diana Ross in 1978.
