Marvin Gaye", the pictures are from the box "Marvin Gaye -
the Master 1961 - 1984")
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.
Marvin's work divides along decades - the sixties when he
hit as a commercial if somewhat rebellious artist, a
brilliant product of the Motown assembly line; the
seventies when he matured More...

Review about Marvin Gaye
marvin-lost soul | Reviewer: phyllis richradson
------ About artist/band Marvin Gaye
Marvin went out and michael jackson came in. Now's Michael is gone. 2 of motowns greatest giants have went on. Back to marvin I have read everything i could get my hands on regarding marvin. OH! how i wish he could have found a good woman in his life instead of janis hunter
who was too young and promiscuous by having affairs with his friends@ frankie beverly, rick james that broke his heart and cause him to get deeper in his addiction. Like i said she was to young and inexperience to be married to a man of his magnitude and could not handle his fame. I hope her and his children are getting money from the reissues of his work. Marvin, I won't forget you darling. i hope you are at peace. By the way I am a happily married woman to a fine man with 3 children
the golden age of music | Reviewer: desmond booker
------ About the song Come Live With Me Angel performed by Marvin Gaye
When i first heart the song,"Come Live With Me Angel", i was in my early 20s. I don't really consider being of that age old enough to fully understand music much less Marvin Gaye. Whenever somone mention the name Marvin Gaye. Grapevine and Sexual Healing always comes to mind. For me as i laid in bed that night listening to the song on a hot summer night. i was immediately captured by it's melody and need to pull you in. Years later when i really fell in love with a woman for the first time i finally realized what that song meant. There isn't good music like that anymore. Marvin's multi-track vocals shadowing himself was at it's best. That song always puts me in a romantic mood for love and lovemaking.
Honoring Marvin | Reviewer: Quimp
------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
I can see why this was a #1 hit in 1976. From the strings, bongos, electric guitar, & the bass line Marvin with that smooth r&b doo wop back ground vocals. It is a must I listen to it everyday R.I.P Marvin Gaye We Surely will miss your voice and your writing talents GOD BLESS your soul
Motown Rocks | Reviewer: Marvin M
------ About the song Trouble Man performed by Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye had the same band that played for the Temptations, the Supremes, Smokie Robinson, Jackson five and every Motown act of that time. Its amazing how one band was able to play for so many different styles.
Love this.... | Reviewer: Michelle
------ About the song Just to Keep You Satisfied performed by Marvin Gaye
Happy Birthday Marvin,
Wow everytime I hear this song it brings tears to my eye, one of my most favorite Marvin Gaye songs next to Travel Man love the jazzy feel it has. Gone way too soon! Miss you.
So touching | Reviewer: anonymous
------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
I was watching Marvin Gaye's Biography, and they played a bit of'I want u' - I could FEEL it, u wouldn't believe it, but my eyes got teary, that's how much i felt it..this song is a masterpiece! so damn good.
Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing | Reviewer: Mzldysth1
------ About the song Trouble Man performed by Marvin Gaye
OMG!!! This boy was off the chain. Whether he was crooning to the ladies or keepin it real about life, nobody has ever done it better. Trouble Man is a smooth groove that postulates about a hard knock life, but slides with sinful syncopation into the soft sounds of Jazz.
This song gets my groove going every time.
Simply Marvin | Reviewer: Sense of Sweet
------ About artist/band Marvin Gaye
Marvin left us longing to wonder what was coming next. I was a child when his songs were popular and am now in my 40's and joke about how mad I am for dying because I was going to marry him and hav his babies!:) It's probably not right but I am hope his father has experienced the wrath of God for killing his own son. If there was anyone on earth that I want to meet in person and could do it, it would be Marvin. I feel bad for his children left behind with only stories about that wonderful man. If you read, know the Lord and one day you will be with him in spirit! RIP Precious Marvin!
falling in love with you | Reviewer: Jennifer
------ About the song I'm Falling in Love With You performed by Marvin Gaye
my sister is getting married and she asked me to be her maid of honor and this song was one of the songs she requested to be played. It would be wonderful if you could get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks and have a wonderful day,

I want you..................................... | Reviewer: S. Anderson
------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
This song is awesome! It can relate to any relationships current and previous. This is a song for special request to that special someone you care for dearly but, feels that you're not getting that same feeling effect in return. I can truly relate and rely on this song to carry me over with a good gratification and sensual feeling on the inside and outside. I am truly a Marvin Gaye's fan. All of Marvin Gaye's songs are real music from the old schools and will continue to be forever.
To be direct! I am feeling the effect from the lyric in this Song to my special someone (Red!)
I WANT YOU.......... | Reviewer: S. Anderson
------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
This song is awesome! It is truly a song that can relate to relationships current and previous. I am truly a Marvin Gayes fan. The lyrics speaks on an individual not receiving the same effect from that special someone. To be direct! I am dealing with that effect to my special someone (RED). I know it's just a phase that will someday fade. out................

Marvin greatest hits of the 60's and 70's | Reviewer: Sharon Gibbs
------ About artist/band Marvin Gaye
I love Marvin Gaye music like i love my kids. I enjoyed all of his musice from the 60's til the day he was killed. I moved from one state to another and lost some of my really old music of Marvin like Pride and Joy, and some others. I do believe someone stole it from me, but can you send me a listing of all the songs Marvin have ever sang PLEASE. Thank you and great job on the bio.
my best,
Sharon Gibbs

------ About the song What's Going On performed by Marvin Gaye
...I remember this song so well, living in the inner city, fighting a war all of our own, wondering every single day What's going on. Marvin's words hold so very true still...the tears are flowing now...yes, a Prophet indeed!

"stubborn" ...not even top 40?? | Reviewer: john maynard
------ About the song Stubborn Kind Of Fellow performed by Marvin Gaye
I was excited to play "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" for my '63-4-5 class reunion. Thought they would go wild (great sound system), then discovered it didn't even crack the top 40. I remeber it as a hit, but don't want to play a "huh" for my classmates. How could this record not have charted? Comments?
=) Me Likie | Reviewer: Erica
------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
It was funny when they played this song while Jill Scott's character was checking out that dashing sherrif in the Tyler Perry movie"Why Did I get Married." I heard the song and was like..."Marvin oh it's Marvin." Beautiful song, it worked well in that scene too. It worked so well, i had to pull out a Gaye cd w/this track and just relax.
