"Come Live with Me Angel" is a sultry 1975 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye, issued on his acclaimed 1976 album, I Want You. Written by Jacqueline Hillard and Leon Ware, the song featured erotic lyrics of Marvin wanting his girlfriend to "walk around nude" while in the comforts of their home and later serve breakfast in bed. The single featured sexual moans from Minnie Riperton, who later recorded the song with Leon Ware, Marvin and herself on vocals. The song would later be sampled by rap group G-Unit for their hit song, "I Wanna Get to Know You" featuring R&B singer Joe in 2004.
