  • Marvin Gaye is an American legend. He was signed to the fledgling Motown label in 1961 by label founder Berry Gordy and later that year he married Gordy's sister. He scored a total of 39 US Top 40 singles for the label including such classics as "Let's Get It On", "Ain't That Peculiar", "Inner City Blues", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "What's Going On" and of course "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", all of which are included on this DVD. Marvin Gaye died in 1984, shot by his father following an argument, and was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987.
    With a running time of around 100 minutes, this DVD captures Marvin Gaye at the very height of his powers and combines outstanding music with a scintillating live performance.

    Marvin was so often trapped between being high as a kite, a state of different levels of depression, utter confusion and inner rambling chaos that when he had a normal moment of sanity and peace, he would write, create and produce songs based upon his journey and how he saw things through those experiences. His demons were relentless and he fought them for a long time. May God grant him eternal peace and rest his soul.

    What a beautiful human being, there will never be another like Marvin. indeed Marvin sang about the issues and struggles of just not only black folk but the world as a whole. I saw Marvin in concert a long time ago and I think I was the only white boy there, seeing him live was one of the greatest experiences in my life. Marvin was touched, he had to be in order for him to write and sing what he did. I miss you my brother!

      @Sean R It starts with self. Breaking the chains of hate/hurt/anger etc. I've heard & witnessed those not having experienced it in their personal life. As the saying goes, "hurt people hurt people." "Love" really is "the greatest of all these." (1 Corinthians 13:13) It takes healing of self for change to start. Sadly, there are those not wanting or willing 2 take the steps. All the best.

      #SeanR Good morning,
      I listened again closely to "Marvin Gaye's" song, he was a spiritual person and he was speaking about his individual thoughts and how he felt. Also, the need for people to come together. Wish he was here to get his thoughts accurately, but then again he left his music and listening to this live recording you hear his thoughts on matters. Yes, self introspection is needed. Also, admitting and then correcting self when I see errors. This is a humbling thing and it doesn't make a person small. It's a growth in character. Pride of self is good, but too much can lead to disaster. Look at the results. (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Take care and stay safe during these "trying" & "changing times." {2Tim. 3:1} The Bibles prophecies are truly being seen and fulfilled.

Tragically taken from this earth too soon and too young. Marvin Gaye, Rest In Peace. ❤️
