If I Could Build My Whole World Around You

"If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" was a popular recording for American soul music legends Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell in 1968. It was their third single together and the second to go Top 10 on both the Pop and R&B charts of Billboard peaking at #7 and #2 respectively. The duo's resonating vocals went back and forth as they described what could be if either was able to "build a world" around their loved one. It was one of few songs that set the duo apart from other R&B duos of the time. In time, this song among other legendary duets by the two soul icons would become the landmark for R&B duets to this day. The song was also one of the few songs that was written by someone other than Ashford & Simpson who had written several hit songs for the duo.
