I watched this PBS special last night on MARVIN GAYE and I was totally transfixed. He was an important and vital part of the Motown hit-making juggernaut, but he was so conflicted because of his alcoholism and drug dependency. The story was made all that more tragic because of the musical legacy that he left behind for us.
I remember the house parties that my parent’s used to host and how all the people would get quiet when the MARVIN GAYE album came on. If you were born while he was alive then there is a good chance that his music was part of your parent’s babymaking soundtrack. Sheeeeit, holler back if your folks had the 8-track.
Please enjoy some of MARVIN GAYE’s music before you get out on your way. Put some love on something close to you. Even if that something is yourself. Just don’t let this man’s message go to waste.
