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. 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. 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.

HOW DID MARV GAYE DIE? INSI THE MOTOWN LEGEND’S MURR

Around this time, Ebony terviewed Gaye, teasg the piece on the ver: “Exiled London, ntroversial sger Marv Gaye talks about: Losg his home and fortune to the IRS; kidnappg his own son …” As if that wasn’t bad enough, that ver featured none other than Sugar Ray Leonard, whose reer had gone supernova sce the Price fight. That life me to a tragic end on April 1, 1984, when Marv Gaye was shot and killed by his own father one day short of his 45th the physil e of Marv Gaye’s ath was straightforward—”Gunshot wound to cht perforatg heart, lung and liver, ” acrdg to the Los Angel County Coroner—the events that led to were much more tangled.

MARV GAYE: MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS AND CONTRIBUTNS TO THE WORLD OF MIC

Only one year removed om his first Grammy w and om a triumphant return to the pop charts wh “Sexual Healg, ” Marv Gaye was horrible physil, psychologil and fancial an argument between father and son lated to a physil fight on the morng of April 1, 1984, Alberta Gay was tryg to lm her son his bedroom when Marv Sr.

Durg the 1970s, Gaye rerd the albums What's Gog On and Let's Get It On and beme one of the first artists Motown to break away om the res of a productn later rerdgs fluenced several ntemporary R&B sub-genr, such as quiet storm and Neo-Soul. Gaye's last televised appearanc were at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, where he sang "The Star-Spangled Banner"; Motown 25: Yterday, Today, Forever; and Soul April 1, 1984, the eve of his 45th birthday, Gaye was shot and mortally wound by his father, Marv Gay Sr., at their hoe Hanck Park, Los Angel, after an argument.

Many stutns have posthumoly btowed Gaye wh awards and other honors cludg the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and ductns to the Rhythm and Blu Mic Hall of Fame, the Songwrers Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gaye's album, released jt two days after Fillmore on May 21, 1971, generated three sgl: the trospective tle track, wh s famo wartime ndolence, "Mother, mother, there's too many of you cryg"; "Mercy Mercy Me (The Elogy), " an early anthem of environmental jtice; and "Inner Cy Blu (Make Me Wanna Holler), " a stark existential portra of Black life. All three charted the Top 10, and the tle track sold over 2 ln pi — a round rebuttal to Gaye's label head and brother--law Berry Gordy, who had lamented what a prott song might do to Motown's bottom le and the reer of one of s most bankable stars.
