Raised a Pentestal church, wh a mister father, no one would have thought twice if a young Marv Gaye cid to bee a gospel sger, mirrorg the choic of his peers cludg Sam Cooke and Lou Rawls.
But Gaye’s ears were attuned to the street rner—where Doo-Wop ptured the imagatn of a generatn of Amerin boys—and his ey fixed the imag of T Pan Alley.

When Gaye rerd the Soulful Moods of Marv Gaye (1961) his first long-playg disc for Motown, was filled wh tracks “My Funny Valente, ” Cole Porter’s “Love for Sale, ” and “Wchcraft”; simply put, Gaye wanted to be Frank Satra and Nat Kg Cole, even rerdg a tribute to the latter after his ath 1965.
Once “Stubborn Kda of Fellow” h 1962, beme clear to all that Gaye was gog to have another reer trajectory, but he never gave up on that sire to rerd his versn of Satra’s In the Wee Small Hours of the Morng. In the late 1970s, Gaye ntracted songwrer and arranger Bobby Stt (who had worked wh Aretha Frankl on her Columbia sis the 1960s) to produce a seri of Big Band ballads.

“Funny, ” origally rerd for Doris Day’s Love Him (1963), marks the marriage of Gaye’s ballaer sensibili wh his Doo-Wop trag, as advanc rerdg technology allowed Gaye to layer his voice ways that Satra and Cole uld have never imaged. The semal rerdg What’s Gog On, marked the most dramatic leap Marv Gaye’s song-wrg technique, as he benefted om willg llaborators like Jam Nix and Al Cleveland and took every advantage of new stud technologi. The album is long remembered for phg Motown polilly and artistilly to the future—Stevie Wonr’s n of landmark albums om 1972-1975 are practilly unimagable whout Gaye’s terventn, as uld also be said about Smokey Robson’s Quiet Storm (1974).
As Gaye ntued to hear Doo-Wop his head, he began to wre for and produce Motown vol groups like The Monors (featurg one-and-future Temptatn Richard Street), The Origals, who sred wh Gaye’s “Baby I’m for Real, ” and “The Bells” and the post-Smokey Miracl—groups that Gaye ed as placeholrs until he uld perfect such harmoni the stud g his own voice. “Jt to Keep You Satisfied” was ially wrten wh Gaye’s wife Anna Gordy Gaye, but by the time Gaye laid down for Let’s Get It On, was a document to the Gaye’s failg marriage. Wh his first marriage end, and Gaye needg pay back alimony to his first wife, even as his send marriage to Janis Hunter was ayg, Gaye agreed to e royalti om his next stud album Here, My Dear to meet his rponsibili.
In classic Marv Gaye fashn, he ma an album about his divorce proceedgs, hopg that would tank mercially (which did).
‘MORE LIKE A STORY THAN A SONG’: HOW MARV GAYE’S ‘WHAT’S GOG ON’ REMAS RELEVANT 50 YEARS LATER
Today (April 1st) is the 38th anniversary of the ath of Marv Gaye, wh Saturday (April 2nd) markg what would have been the sger's 83rd birthday. In 2019, celebratn of the Gaye's 80th, Motown/UMe released his never-issued 1972 album You’re The Man a double-album gatefold vyl and digal edns. You’re The Man featur all of Gaye’s solo and non-soundtrack rerdgs om 1972, wh most of the album’s tracks makg their vyl release buts. Acrdg to the album's prs release, followg the massive succs of the prev year's What's Gog On album, "His new sgle, 'You’re The Man' -- a perlatg, sarstic riff on polil non-actn issued as the U.S. printial mpaign was kickg off -- reached Number Seven on Billboard’s Hot Soul Sgl chart. He saw Motown schle a You’re The Man album (for release) but when the lead sgle didn’t cross over (to the pop charts), stallg at Number 50, Marv retreated. Ambivalent about rerdg, stubborn about movg to Los Angel wh Berry Gordy and Motown, Marv by his actns proclaimed no more new Marv Gaye mic. Or so seemed. In this sgular and transnal year for the late mic legend, Gaye rerd more than an album’s worth of mic Detro and L.A. (that) he produced himself. None of the tracks or any other on the LP, except the sgle, were issued at the time." In 2016, Marv Gaye was fally ducted to the Songwrers Hall of Fame at a gala ductn ceremony at New York Cy's Marrtt Marquis Hotel. Marv Gaye’s name and work has kept a high profile the media the days due to his fay recently wng a $7.3 ln pyright gement su. The Gaye tate succsfully sued Rob Thicke and Pharrell Williams for appropriatg the sound and feel of Gaye’s 1977 chart-topper, “Got To Give It Up, Pt 1” for Thicke's 2013 blockbter, "Blurred L." Last year, a panel on the 9th Circu Court of Appeals nfirmed that they would uphold the origal cisn the 2015 verdict the se, which will award the tate wh 50 percent of all royalti om the rerd forever. Marv Pentz Gay Jr. (the "e" his last name was add later) was born Washgton, D.C. 1939. The son of a mister, he began sgg church at the age of three. After a stt the armed forc, he returned to Washgton and began sgg lol doo-wop groups. In 1957 he formed his own group, the Marque, whose rerdgs were produced by their iend and supporter Bo Diddley. The followg year sger Harvey Fuqua reced the group to be his backg volists the then-current lp of his group Harvey & the Moonglows, and they rerd for the legendary Chs Rerds label. Gaye left the Moonglows 1960 and signed to Gwen Gordy's Anna label, a subsidiary of then fledglg Motown Rerds, which was owned by Gwen's brother Berry Gordy Jr. Gaye played dms for the Miracl and sang backup for the Marvelett. The followg year, he signed to Motown as a solo artist and married Berry Gordy's sister Anna. Marv's first rerdgs ma ltle impact on the charts. His fourth release, 1962's "Stubborn Kd Of Fellow" -- featurg backg vols by Martha & the Vanllas -- was his first rerdg to chart. In 1963, "Pri and Joy" went to the Top 10. Although Gaye sang duets wh numero female volists, cludg Mary Wells, his bt-known pairg was wh Tammi Terrell.

I would go by his stud a lot of tim and jt s there and watch him rerd. It's funny -- he never really ed pad and pencil, pen, nothg. He jt would go the microphone and, 'Roll back.

Fifty years ago, vibratg wh agatn and energy, Marv Gaye head down the wood steps to a Detro stud and ma his anthem for the ag. Racial tensns, police ntroversy, environmental anxieti, a globe on edge — they were the topics on the ont burner when Gaye rebooted his mil reer and took ntrol of his creative visn si Motown.
Three years after the 1967 rt and rebelln that transformed his adopted hometown, the 31-year-old Gaye was a ep and evolvg head space. Shaken by the ath of sgg partner Tammi Terrell, hnted by the Vietnam War stori of his younger Army vet brother, Gaye was an emotnal lightng rod wag to be zapped wh creative energy when Motown’s Obie Benson and Al Cleveland brought him their new posn about troubl across the land. As Benson reflected for Ben Edmonds’ 2001 book, “Marv Gaye: What’s Gog On, ” an dispensable acunt of the song and album:.
Feelg through the posn the livg room of the latter’s northwt Detro hoe — Benson on guar, Gaye on piano — Gaye was moved, but was eager to prent to the Origals, a Motown group he was now producg. Gaye relented, mted and promptly “fe-tuned the tune, ” as Benson put , tackg on jazzy flourish and a sense of realism.
