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 Excellent Song, Marvin. May you RIP | Reviewer: Cynthia
------ About the song Come Live With Me Angel performed by Marvin Gaye
This song takes me to a higher level of being every time I hear it!!!! I can listen to eat over and over again all day every day and it would have the same effect on me. Thanks Marvin!!! May you RIP
This duet by The late Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell speaks from the soul to the soul.The lyrics are superb in their conveyance of utter devotion and a selfless wish to do the best for each other.The sheer rapture in the words, 'All the joys under the sun wrapped up into one,' epitomises their love for each other. This duet topped all others whenit was released in 1968 and continues to do so in 2009. Sheer genius in both lyrics and performance.

------ About the song I Want You performed by Marvin Gaye
This song takes you to places deep in your memory, innocent infatuations, long ago feelings towards someone you saw in a party or at some friend's place. The perfume that was in the air at that moment, a smile, how her hair looked like,,,
WOW I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT FINDING THESE LYRICS. THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY PARENTS. THEY USED TO PLAY THIS SONG ALL THE TIME AND I LOVED IT. I WAS A LITTLE GIRL THEN AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE THEN BUT I KNEW I LOVED THE WORDS AND THE MUSIC. MARVIN GAYE REALLY OUTDID HIMSELF WITH THIS ENTIRE ALBUM. HE WAS A GENIUS BEFORE HIS TIME. I HATED WHEN HE PASSED. HE IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO RELATE TO THIS AND MANY OF HIS SONGS. WHEN DID YOU STOP LOVING ME, WHEN DID I STOP LOVING YOU? POWERFUL, WONDERFUL SONG!!!
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
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.

------ 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.

------ 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.
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!
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,
Jennifer Dennis

------ 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 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.
