He was soft spoken, intense, troubled, unhappy, un loved, but had a beautiful very manly, sensuous voice. I hope he has found peace where ever he is..Thank you , Marvin for your. wonderful gift of song. You made this trip called life a little easy for me. You're appreciated.
Marvin's album What's Going On should have won a Grammy. It's considered one of the top 20 albums in music history. Shame on the music industry for not giving him his due.
@@carolynbratton7827 Renaldo didn't write it, Al Cleveland did, he based it off Renaldo's stories. They gave it to Marvin when Renaldo's band mates in the Four Tops didn't accept it. Marvin added more composition and lyrics to it after he was allowed to take credit. Renaldo didn't write the album either lol
@@timmy841212 ...Say that again for the nosebleed section!!!! The idea for the WGO track might have been inspired by his colleagues.....but he added the ingredients to make it fantastic.......but lets mention the overall album was completely out of Marvins beautiful mind....
@Gman Yeah. But don't worry about that now. Marvin has perpetuity and legacy, the ultimate awards. We all know what's greater compared to what beat him out at the time (including 3 Dog Nights single "Joy To The World"). SMH
I am with you I just can't believe it a masterpiece I new it was an album that God helped him write miss you Marvin thank God for the tablet we can hear and see him RIP MY BROTHER
Shocking isn't it? One Grammy after all that he produced...all that wonderful, beautiful Soul Magic...Whats going on is still as new today as it was in the 70's.
Marvin fs Janet too have sex with other men.he didn't make her she did it b couse she wanted too do it. In all her interviews she didn't tell no body that she made sure she didn't when Marvin died he didn't leave her a dime the only money she got is the money that that Gaye family suited them people 4
Oh he was soo cute smiling and waiting backstage to accept his award!!!!..... Awww he so loved his children, mother...and the world!!!!! Such an eloquent speaking...and kind hearted man.....so charming...gifted...and handsome😭😭😭😭
There is no one and never will be anyone equal to this man. He moved people body and soul with the sound of his voice. I still own his albums (vinyl) and I will never part with them. He is with god and no longer suffering the sins of man. RIP sweet sweet man.
He should have had many Grammy’s he was so intelligent and so far ahead Of his time. I often wonder what would he think about today? Please vote everyone Counts do it in Marvin’s memory ♥️
There will be no one like Marvin and the world knows that Marvin should have 10 Grammy Let’s Get it on What Going on and so many songs Marvin is the world favorite sing like a angel and he is singing with Angels in his father Heaven we love him forever ❤❤❤❤
His father got away with murder ..it wasn't self defense at all ..it was pretaded murder. His father kept that gun for a reason and he was always jealous of Marvin Gaye because Marvin took care of his mom and everything else his dad couldn't ..and that was a slap in the face...Marvin Gaye dad was envy of Marvin and all Marvin Gaye wanted from his dad was LOVE....
marvins whats goin on album was the social commentary of the time. the powers that be realized that it spoke truth to power. because of its timelessness it will always speak truth to power. and that is why his legacey shall always remain eternal.
Yes he should have won many more grammys. Such a shame he was overlooked by the music industry and his maniacal father. He should have had his dreams come true. Tragic. And yes, he was extremely handsome.
gosh, im in tears.. seems so unfair- to lose such a sensitive soul in such a tragic way.. I pray he found the peace he sought.. im grateful for his wonderful catalog, which makes him- in essence- live on forever..
I Agree With You Miss Barbara. Marvin To Me Was One Of The Greatest Soul Singers. He May Be Gone But Never Forgotten. To Take A Life Is A Mortal Sin. What May Have Helped Him With His Demons Would Have Been To Get Him Some Help With His Issues. A Bullet Was NOT The Answer!!!! He Loved His Mother So Much And His Dad Was Always Kicked To The Side Lines. His Dad Didn't Like Him And Pulling The Trigger Didn't Bother Him!!! He Is Greatly Missed But His Music Will Live On Forever. Thank You And May You Rest In Eternal Peace. ✝️
Yes it is Miss Barbara. That Commandment Should Never Be Committed. He Was Hurting And Fighting Those Demons On His Own But That Didn't Give His Father The Right To Take His Life Away!!! His Father Will Have To Face God's Judgement And That Mortal Sin He Cannot Escape From!!!! Thoughts And Prayers For His Family And may God Bless You All. Love And Peace Always. ✝️✝️✝️✝️
There will never be another that comes close to Marvin Gaye, he was a bad ass singer, writer, arranger, composer and futurist.His music will exist until the end of time, His desire was to cross over to white audiences and radio stations and he did. He wrote and played most of the instruments and background vocals on most of his music, truly a one man band long before Prince. The music we have today is essentially trash including rap etc. but its all we have at the moment. Marvin's music challenges us in the times we live today, with all the police killings as in the riotous sixties. Its amazing to listen to his work and see how it bridges the gap of hatred and segregation. The question remains unanswered even now...WHATS GOING ON?
When I was a sophmore in college, the black student union had a weekend retreat at a local recreation camp/lodge, and cleared the lodge's play-room of chairs and tables one night so we could really do bizness on the newly 'recreated' dance floor. I remember that two songs in particular, Grace Jones' 'Nipple to the Bottle' and 'Sexual Healing' got even the normally shy and quiet students showing their other beings on the floor IMMEDIATELY. Ironic of Grace Jones and Marvin in the clip
Paul Sneed I actually got in trouble for taking a Grace Jones 45 "Pull Up To The Bumper" to school in early 80s for "Show and Tell"! Lol. The teacher played it and I didn't care about the lyrics but she sure did! I liked the beat!
I will never believe what his second wife said about him And he’s dead and can’t respond. This man was a gentle soul and one thing he will never age so we remember him in his prime and I hope he found peace and love as he is so deserving of Magnificent Marvin the talent of 5 plus entertainers ♥️
Once I started reading the 1st 10 - 20 pages of her memoir....I already came to the conclusion of what she was...and I feel she and Marvin were toxic for one another....she didnt help him kick his addiction to drugs.....or help him learn to manage his money so that he wouldn't become a destitute...so far what Im reading is that all she knew was drugs...sex...and being a light skin freckle face teenager that purposely had him and other grown men lusting for her but you cant put all the blame on her.....esp because she was in fact a kid....and had no responsibile adult in her life to guide her
They mentioned Tammi Terrell and how Marvin took it so hard and the reason is he knew of abuse she went through and I believe he felt he should have intervened for her.Another thing his ex wife 2nd said he was abusive I don’t think he was, he was too Kind and thoughtful our Marvin the magnificent ♥️ we shall never forget him and his music and voice 4 octave range.
She said they were both on drugs and abused each other during that time which is common when couples do drugs together. Not shocking. Drugs change people.
He was very abusive. To the point of being disgusting. Don't confuse the person in front of the camera all dolled up and on best behaviour with the coked up abusive addict at home. 🏡🐝
To this day I don't get why he shot his son. No matter what goes on in a family I was brought in, It did happened because we left and got our own. You can take care of your parents away. But for his day to be so spiritual and Marvin the devil> We see who really had the devil in them. It wasn't Marvin!!! Miss u so much!! Ms,TF
i love Marvin, and no disrespect intended, but Obie Benson of the Four Tops, wrote "What's Going On" and took it to Marvin who didn't want to record the song. it was at his wife's insistence that he did. the rest is history. but let's not neglect to give credit where it is due.
@@chriscooks5437 Al Cleveland had absolutely nothing to do with the song. Obie wrote it and took it to Marvin. Marvin helped tweak it, but he did NOT write it, and Al Cleveland wasn't in on it at all. Learn your Motown facts before you come at people like you know something, cause you know nothing about this song.
@@panchovilla5359 according to his ex-wifes book, he was an hour late for a show. Him and his wife at the time, got into the limo and Marvin, under the influence of drugs, started yelling at the driver and told the driver to drive as fast as he possibly could and that he would pay any fine or ticket that he might receive. So the driver started speeding and very quickly lost control and crashed. The driver died, Marvins ex wife ended up in the hospital, Marvin was fine.
Sad to say but,Marvin was a troubled man Dealing with inner Chrises,and everything he went thru he should have known not to strike and or continue to beat on his father,,But I dont know the whole story of why the beatings evn started,May he was abusive to him and his mom IDK..But its sad that out of all the fame he couldnt find self wort

For starters, it was not Marvin Gayes song. He basically stole it from Renaldo Benson of the Four Tops, wrote the album and took all the credit.

Thank you Barry Gordy for believing in Marvin , I know you were skeptical at first but like you said “believe in the artist” so true
Totally agree my friends and I were in love with him. We couldn't wait to dance to his music.
More soul in this man's soul than should be allowed in any one human being. Marvin is the was the * KING OF SOUL.*

that was a very sad day but his music still live on god bless him
I want more..
He was a musical genuis. Miss him his dad should not have murdered him.
I wish he didn't go home after this show 😢he would of probably still b here thanks 2 his damn father .R.l.p Mr. Marvin Gaye 🙏😇🙏

PURE GENIUS!
What a cruel thing to do to your own flesh and blood. Marvin’s father was a ticking time bomb that exploded and took the life of his first born son.
Gone but never forgotten
YOU EXPERIENCED HELL ON EARTH...YOU'RE AT PEACE WITH THE ANGELS NOW...SING SWEET MUSIC IN HEAVEN....
To this day I don't get why he shot his son. No matter what goes on in a family I was brought in, It did happened because we left and got our own. You can take care of your parents away. But for his day to be so spiritual and Marvin the devil> We see who really had the devil in them. It wasn't Marvin!!! Miss u so much!! Ms,TF
It is because many of us are ignorant of the Spiritual Realm and how it can play on our minds and emotions.. Learn --- and don't be a victim...

What's going on was grammy worthy.
Sexual Healing!!! ♥ Marvin!!!
Even though Marvin Gaye had a drug problem and personal problems I believe his father got away with murder

I used t have this. D u have the ther parts
He wore his suits well made
Marvin’s dad was jealous of him.
That should read, But for his dad to be so spiritual yet he shot and killed his own son, It's actlually UNGODLY... PEACE
His dad committed the worst sin of all, Thou shalt not kill. The irony of it all.
What is the name of this movie?
Motown on Showtime: Marvin Gaye
Marvin will always be number 1 singer of his day
Marvin was one of a kind.Talented..A man with a soul that touches .I ❤ him.So missed
