In a recent terview for a new CNN documentary about Gaye’s work, tled “What’s Gog On: Marv Gaye’s Anthem for the Ag, ” the Grammy-nomated artist and activist relled redisverg the album jt before headg to a prott Nashville last summer. Gaye often spoke boxg metaphors, and 1979 — the wake of a stly divorce om his first wife, tranged om his send, gripped by e addictn, and badly bt to the IRS — the image of the pummeled prizefighter beme particularly potent to him.

Though much has been wrten about Gaye’s downward spiral the late Seventi and early Eighti, about the rurgence of his reer the wake of “Sexual Healg, ” and his 1984 murr at the hands of his own father at the fay’s home, ltle has been wrten about this event. It’s a story that illtrat so much about Gaye — his fears, his misplaced ias of masculy, his charms, his abily to pull profundy out of pa, his celty, and his lns.

HOW A 1979 BOXG MATCH BEME THE FIGHT OF MARV GAYE’S LIFE

C., Gaye was huiated by his father’s double life, feelgs that led to a lifelong stggle wh his own masculy; he even add the “e” to his last name hop of dispellg mors about his sexualy.

MARV GAYE

Gaye was one of Motown’s most reliable hmakers throughout the Sixti, but wh 1971’s What’s Gog On, he beme somethg more: an ner-cy bard and soul mic’s social nscience. Acrdg to Divid Soul, Gaye claimed Jan was the flh-and-blood maniftatn of a recurrg dream, which he watched as a young woman tnted him as she had sex wh other men. Penrgrass, steppg out om the shadow of Philly soul group Harold Melv and the Blue Not, strapped himself to the rocket that was the dis-soul craze of the late Seventi and experienced massive succs jt as Gaye’s reer was takg a downturn.

” Wh “Ego Trippg Out, ” Gaye set out to make a mercial rerd, somethg that would reigne his stagnant reer, but stead, he wound up makg somethg much more gut-wrenchg, reflective, and profound. The fay cid to take a walk on the beach, and as the kids ran ahead and played, Gaye and Jan began to fight over his sire to divorce and her sistence that they first iron out the fancial tails. ” The fight was locked for September, and Gaye agreed to sg ahead of the ma event, a rematch between Larry Holm, fendg his WBC heavyweight tle, and Earnie Shavers.

MARV GAYE : L RMATNS

FOLLOWING THE ALTERCATION Hermosa Beach, Gaye was released om ctody, and soon he, his mother, Alberta, his brother, Frankie, and their sister, Zeola, crowd to his ctomized Greyhound b and head to Vegas. “We left … on September 27th, durg a heat wave, only to fd the temperature climbg even higher as we traveled the long, solate highway through the sert, ” Frankie wrote his memoir, Marv Gaye, My Brother. And standg the center of this maelstrom of garish Amerin imagery was Marv Gaye, wh his black eye and black su, clutchg a microphone wh what looked like tears his ey, as “The Star-Spangled Banner” crept through the PA.

Electric piano and a ltle guar gave way to church an and Gaye’s voice, which sailed om velvet whispers to tearful wails, turng an arne hymn to a raw and personal prayer. Gaye got evicted om his ndo and end up livg the back of an abandoned bakery tck wh Frankie, while Jan fought for a urt orr to get the boy back to Los Angel.

While livg London, Gaye pleted another brilliant but misunrstood album, 1981’s In Our Lifetime, a darkly sexy, fire-and-brimstone medatn on what he saw as the impendg nuclear holot.
