"How Can I Forget" was originally recorded as a love ballad by Motown group The Temptations in 1968[1][2] and was re-recorded in a psychedelic soul/funk styling by fellow Motown artist, Marvin Gaye in 1969.[3] His version, released on Motown's first subsidiary, Tamla, became a modest hit that almost reached the Top 40 of the pop charts while peaking at number-eighteen on the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart in 1970.[4] Marvin's recording was featured on his That's the Way Love Is album. The song is also notable for being (at the time) one of the shortest recordings for both The Tempts and for Gaye; recorded when most songs are over three minutes, its length is just under two.
