Marvin Gay

Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr.,^[1] better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984^[2]) was an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist with a three-octave vocal range.^[3] Starting as a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows in the late fifties, he ventured into a solo career after the group disbanded in 1960 signing with the Tamla subsidiary of Motown Records. After starting off as a session drummer, Gaye ranked as the label’s top-selling solo artist during the sixties.

Due to solo hits including “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)”, “Ain’t That Peculiar”, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and his duet singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, he was crowned “The Prince of Motown”^[4] and “The Prince of Soul”.^[5]

Notable for fighting the hit-making but restrictive Motown process in which performers and songwriters and producers were kept separate,^[6] Gaye proved with albums like his 1971 What’s Going On and his 1973 Let’s Get It On that he was able to produce music without relying on the system, inspiring fellow Motown artists such as Stevie Wonder^[7] and Michael Jackson^[8] to do the same.

His mid-1970s work including the Let’s Get It On and I Want You albums helped influence the quiet storm, urban adult contemporary and slow jam genres. After a self-imposed European exile in the late seventies, Gaye returned on the 1982 Grammy-winning hit, “Sexual Healing” and the Midnight Love album before his death. Gaye was shot dead by his father on April 1, 1984. He was posthumously inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

In 2008, the American music magazine Rolling Stone ranked Gaye #6 on its list of The Greatest Singers of All Time,^[9] and ranked #18 on 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.^[10]

“I Sing About Life.” .. Marvin Gaye (R.I.P.)

“…Gaye’s comeback was one for the record books. But even with the recognition he longed for, Gaye was depressed, and his cocaine abuse was escalating, despite several attempts to clean up. He returned to the U.S. and moved into his parents’ home — where he often quarreled with his father, with whom he’d been at odds since his teenage years. As Gaye later confessed to David Ritz, his internal life was marked by what Gaye viewed as an irreconcilable conflict between good (as represented by his strict religious upbringing) and evil (sex, drugs). In early 1984 Gaye reportedly threatened suicide several times and had become paranoid and irrational. Following a Sunday morning shouting match in his parents’ home, Gaye’s father shot him to death at point-blank range, he later claimed, in self-defense. Gaye’s father was charged with and convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He was found to have a brain tumor, and was given a six-year suspended prison sentence. …”
