#MarvinGaye - my favorite musical artist of all time - was born 85 years ago today (April 2, 1939).
Gifted, flawed, spiritual, tormented, beautiful...
Caption reposted from @nmaahc What's a Marvin Gaye song that speaks to you?
#OnThisDay in 1939, singer Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. was born. The Washington, D.C. native developed an early love of music through the church, and by the 1960s came to be known as the #PrinceofSoul.
The son of a Hebrew Pentecostal minister, it was the Pentecostal Church that served as the context of his faith formation and creative musical genius. Gaye mastered the piano and drums as a child and caught the attention of Motown founder Berry Gordy, who hired him as a session drummer for the label working on songs for Stevie Wonder and The Supremes. Under the label, Gaye would enjoy a steady string of hits including “Stubborn Kinda Fellow” (1962), “I’ll Be Doggone” (1965), and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (1968). As a major Motown artist, Gaye is credited as one of the sonic architects responsible for creating the label’s distinctive sound.
Described by Ebony as “intensely spiritual, almost mystical,” and seemingly in “pursuit of some ethereal other world” because of his preoccupation with religion and sexuality, Marvin Gaye’s artistry further complicated conventional notions of the holy and the profane. Alongside the strong religious and sexual sensibilities evidenced in later songs such as “Sexual Healing,” “Sanctified Lady,” and “Let’s Get It On,” Gaye’s 11th album, What’s Going On, is acclaimed for the socially conscious quality of his lyrical content. Themes explored on the album include an anti-war critique, ecology, love, sensuality, and community, all informed by his formative Hebraic-Pentecostal worldview.

Today We Honor Marvin Gaye The magnitude of Marvin Gaye’s influence on R&B and soul music continues to influence and inspire singers and songwriters today. “Let’s Get It On” is considered one of the top romance songs of all time. “Sexual Healing” reached #3 on the Billboard singles pop charts, spent a staggering ten weeks at number one on the R & B charts, and won two Grammy Awards in 1982 for Best R & B Vocal Performance and Best R & B Instrumental. “What’s Going On” is listed as the fourth greatest song of all time in 2004 by Rolling Stone Magazine. The inspiration for the song came from Gaye’s brother Frankie, who told him stories of his service during the Vietnam War. The list goes on and on… One of the most talented artists in the history of music.

Marvin Gaye "Every Great Motown Hit of..." LP. Another one of my old man's records. A few years ago I was going through stock in the basement and found a small pile of his stuff I didn't want to sell since he'd died for one reason or another. This one was just because it's a solid compilation. For some reason me and Marvin have never really clicked. I think he had a great voice and none of his hits rub me the wrong way but I don't love him like most people do. On the other hand, I have nothing bad t9 say about the fella either. I guess I just don't appreciate his songwriting and/or voice as much as most other people? Regardless, this collection is very enjoyable. It sounds great and flows well. Since this was my old man's and a one-owner LP, it's basically mint which makes the playback even more enjoyable. I gotta say, the four songs with Tammi Terrell are my favorites. They made a great duo. #LP #Vinyl #Records #MarvinGaye #EveryGreatMotownHitOf #TammiTerrell #Motown #Soul https://www.instagram.com/p/Civdj_jufTg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
