Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" was a 1968 hit for soul music legends Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Another passionate and poetic ode of love written and produced by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, the song became another one of those songs that was used to calm down the tension that was building in American life at that time. The song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Pop charts and #1 on Billboard's Soul Singles chart. It was one of the actual last recordings by Gaye and Terrell, as Terrell fell ill with a brain tumor eventually dying in 1970. In 1974, soul queen Aretha Franklin re-recorded the song and released it as a single following the success of her song "Until You've Come Back to Me", from the album Let Me Into Your Life.
