Marvin Gaye was an American singer-songwriter and musician with a three-octave vocal range. He was born on April 2, 1939 in Washington, D.C., USA and tragically died on April 1, 1984 in Los Angeles, California, USA when he was shot by his father Marvin Gay Sr.
Gaye started his career as a member of The Moonglows in the late fifties. After the group disbanded in 1960, he embarked on a successful solo career and signed with the Tamla subsidiary of Motown Records.
Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 as a performer, Marvin Gaye is remembered for his incredible talent and contributions to music. He is also known as the brother of Frankie Gaye and the father of Nona Gaye.

many of the tracks on this release had already been recorded and released by label-mate leon ware. motown boss berry gordy offered them up to gaye, thinking they offered a suitable vehicle for his singular vocal talents. and make the material his own he surely did. the very real target of his affections was his then wife jan, whom he conspicuously refers to on the record. it's near the knuckle, personal stuff; no surprise, marvin was never one to shy away from baring his soul. marvin, along with fellow love god barry white (and the frequent power cuts of the decade), has been blamed for the 1970's pronounced spikes in birth rates. listening to this you can hear why.
