Marvin Gaye: Life
built 630 days ago
Marvin Gaye's extraordinary career matched his extraordinary life, a mixture of blessings and banes, dazzling success and inscrutable pain. His biography and discography are twin reflections of the same dualty: the artistic and personal struggle to heal the split between head and heart, flesh and spirit, ego and God. Meanwhile, the music lives on for the pleasures of its beauty and the marvel that was Marvin's voice.

Early in his career, Gaye was teamed with female Motown artists including Mary Wells, Kim Weston and Tammi Terrell. At a concert in 1967, Terrell collapsed in his arms onstage, a result of a brain tumor that would take her life and leave Marvin devastated.

It was a sad day when he died, just as it seemed that Marvin was on the road to getting his life back together. He was so good that he even made "a certain diva" sound like she belonged in show business !!
