    Marvin was before his time. He was singing about climate change in 1971. What a visionary he was.

    I was 17 years old when I heard the tragic news of Marvin Gaye being killed. You couldn't tell me that what I heard wasn't a terrible April Fool's Joke, the day before his birthday and only 6 days before mine. A local radio station played a tribute to him all day and my cousin and me sat by the radio and recorded everything! Marvin was speaking TRUTH and it was almost like a prophet. The first record I ever bought was the title track to this amazing album and I was 5 years old. Today we face the same issues in society and amazingly this album has stood the test of time. This year marks the 50th anniversary of this ground breaking movement and it is as relevant today if not more that back in 1971. We lost a king...a musical giant...GENIUS! Rest In Peace Brother Marvin...you will always be MARVELOUS MARVIN to me.

    Marvin Gaye left behind a godly message: it brings me to tears the way he and many other good people leave this testing ground called earth. It's a spiritual battle and the enemy does not allow a good deed to go unpunished. To all you Believers, though difficult with the flesh (the dirt of our existence) stay true in spirit and in the Presence of our Lord and GOD. Amen.

    I'm a white man who grew up in the 1960's ghetto. Aside foro the Beatles, Marvin Gaye is the reason I was drawn to music, piano but especially singing. Marvin's singing was dynamic/magic, the arrangements were heaven. Marvin overcame a great deal of adversity in his lifetime as I did so I could relate. God Bless Marvin Gaye, a terrific human being, a man of ALL people and a genius.

What a God given talent and voice he was blessed with! We were blessed to have lived our youth in the time of Marvin! And thank God for having given us this wonderful singer/musician.

And then, the assassinations one after another. The album is underrated in my opinion. He received NAACP Image Award in 1971 but it took the Grammy’s 37 years this year to acknowledge it’s greatness. All I know is it’s one of the albums I listened to over and over in the dark when I was a kid.

I know, me and my sister heard the news stated at the same time over the radio at home and went running downstairs to inform our mom about what had just been broadcast over the air. I remember the stunned expression on our mother's face when we relayed the news to her. We were all just truly depressed and devastated by the news, and I'm also extremely sorry to say that at the time I also felt a malicious desire to hear that Marvin's father was soon to depart this world as well, via electric chair!
      Now I was 22 yrs old at that time and I had a major crush on Marvin Gaye, so there was that. Now I've reached the age of 59, and I was baptised as well as saved in church, so I have a different perspective on Marvin's dad today. However I must also relay to you that my future husband resembled Marvin in the face, so deduce from that what you will. It is what it is, I'll say no more.

    We lost a legend when this singer died. So much talent in such a short time period. Can you imagine all the additional music he could have made if he were living today?
    I was driving along and this song played. I was transported to a much happier and better time in my life when all was good.. I honestly don't remember driving a few minutes that seemed like hours. Classic Motown and a message that is still relevant especially in these times.

    I bought this LP in 1971 and listened to it non-stop. I was 21 years olds and I knew it was Marvin's heart speaking to all of us. So, here I am about to turn 70 and he was and still is right! I read a lot of comments and it made me cry, because WE THE PEOPLE, know what is right or wrong. The politicians and those in power STILL use and abuse us.

      I am an ex British soldier, I joined in 1974, my experience of meeting coloured people was very limited, there were very few coloured people where I grew up, even my mother would say," there's a darkie" but not in a malicious way, and when I joined the army, I went all over the world, met people from all walks of life, my best friend in the army, was a guy called Elston Bowen, originally from Barbados, and he used to play Marvin, and as I got older and wiser I started to understand about how evil racism is, there are only 2 types of people in this world, good people and bad people, it will always be a battle between good and evil. There is only one answer to it all, and that is education. not indoctrination, Love Marvin, still sounds good, still feels good, still as relevant today, if not more so

    Marvin..I was so in love.still cry for him.
    Saw him in one concert and fell in love with him.
    The 60's,in spite of all the turmoil and Vietnam, was still one of the best decades of my life.
    I will always be a Baby Boomer and Marvin will always be ,one of the Best Singers for my generation.
    There is something extra special about the music, movies, books,plays and just the Peace era,that can't be ignored.
    I am.so grateful to have been a part of that era;however, we are facing many similar issues in 2021.

    Nothing has surpassed what was created in the 70"s. It was the time of the SUPERSTARS
    A masterpiece, a song ahead of the times, a prophetic voice.
