"God is Love" is a 1970 song written by Marvin Gaye,
Anna Gordy Gaye,
James Nyx Jr. and Elgie Stover and recorded by Marvin for his What's Going On album. The song was a return of sorts to Gaye's religious background dedicating this song to God and his father,
Marvin Gay Sr. The song was originally recorded as the B-side to "What's Going On" shortly after that song was recorded. The original 45 rpm version of "What's Going On" included a slower,
string-laden version of this song as its B-side. The musical composition was used for the original version of "Just to Keep You Satisfied" by The Monitors,
who recorded it in 1968. The song was later retooled in a more joyous,
faster version thanks to composition from Marvin Gaye brought on after the success of "What's Going On" as a hit song. It also ended in a much faster and abrupt tone leading into the album's next single,
"Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)". The original version has since been re-issued on several greatest-hits sets and re-issues of the album. J Dilla sampled the original version first for his instrumental "Marvin and the Fam",
and then with rapper Common on his song "Love Is",from his 2005 album Be.
