"AND WE WROTE THE SONG RIGHT THERE. IT WAS SPECIFILLY FOR HIM."THE SGLE BEME THE FIRST OF FOUR TOP 20 R&B-THEMED SMASH TO EMERGE OM MOODS OF MARV GAYE.

HE WOULD 'MARVIZE' MY SONGS, AND I LOVED ."UNFORTUNATELY, "ONE FOR MY BABY" WAS JT AS QUICKLY FOTTEN – AND THGS WERE EVEN ROUGHER OUT ON THE ROAD. GAYE HAD BEGUN TO FOC MORE ON SUPPER CLUBS RATHER THAN TYPIL NCERT VENU GEARED TO YOUTH. HE WORE A TUXEDO, THE SARTORIAL MANNER OF MID-CENTURY CROONERS, FURTHER SEPARATG HIMSELF OM HIS SOUL-SGG ROOTS.FRANKIE GAYE'S MEMOIR MARV GAYE, MY BROTHER SET THE SCENE FOR A NTEMPORARY APPEARANCE AT BIMBO'S 365 CLUB SAN FRANCIS, AS MARV "STROLLED OUT LOOKG SO SUAVE A TOP HAT AND TAILS, OF ALL THGS, ACTG LIKE ROMEO BUT G ACROSS AS THE DAPPER DANS '30S MOVIE MILS."THAT ENGAGEMENT PRAGED WHAT GAYE MT HAVE IMAGED WOULD BEE A SIGNATURE MOMENT DURG HIS EXTEND STAND THAT AUGT AT THE COPABANA.

THE HEADLE, HOWEVER, SUMMED UP HIS MIL NUNDM: "GAYE, POPPG WH POP, KEEPS EYE ON 'FIRST LOVE.'"LISTEN TO MARV GAYE'S 'I'LL BE DOGGONE'IN TTH, HIS REER DIRECTN WAS ALREADY OBV: MOODS OF MARV GAYE, LIKE 1965'S HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE LOVED BY YOU, BEME A TOP 10 R&B H ALBUM WHILE SONGBOOK-FOCED PROJECTS CLUDG 1964'S HELLO BROADWAY FAILED TO CHART ANYWHERE. MOTOWN RERD GAYE'S 1966 DAT NEW YORK CY WH AN EYE TOWARD RELEASG A LIVE ALBUM BUT END UP SHELVG THE PROJECT FELY.CLEARLY STUNG, GAYE WOULD RERD A FEW OTHER NON-R&B TRACKS BUT NEVER RETURNED TO THE COPABANA. INSTEAD, HE RETREATED EPER TO THE STUD, FOCG ON DUETS WH TAMMI TERRELL THE N UP TO AN IAL CREATIVE BREAKTHROUGH WH 1968'S HEARTBROKEN AND MYSTER "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVE.""I'M NOT PECIALLY AN ENTERTAER," GAYE LATER ADMTED TO THE WASHGTON POST. "I'M AN ARTIST AND AN ENTERTAER, BUT THE TWO ARE PLETELY DIFFERENT. WH ONE I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY AND JOYFUL AND AT PEACE, AND WH THE OTHER I'M ANKLY OUT OF MY ELEMENT. ALTHOUGH I DO OKAY, I DO NICELY AND EVERYTHG, 'S NOT WHERE I GET MY BIGGT KICK."THIS IS WHERE HIS TE LEGACY WOULD SOON BE FED. GAYE WASN'T GOG TO SHAKE OFF MOTOWN'S SHACKL BY LOOKG BACKWARD TO SOME OF THE UNTRY'S MOST TREASURED STANDARDS, NO MATTER HOW TASTEFULLY DONE. (AND NO MATTER HOW UNNIABLY GREAT HE LOOKED A TUXEDO.) MARV GAYE WOULD HAVE TO DIG EPER, TO GET MORE REAL.JT AS CCIALLY, HOWEVER, HE'D ACHIEVE EEDOM ONLY THROUGH FAME. A PLATFORM OF SUCCS WAS NEED ORR TO LNCH ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATNS ALL OF MIC. GAYE NEED TO BEE UNNIABLE. IN MANY WAYS, THAT STARTED WH MOODS OF MARV GAYE – JT NOT THE TIME OR MANNER HE ONCE HOPED WOULD. PATIENCE FALLY PAID OFF WH WHAT'S GOG ON."MARV WAS MUCH MORE THAN JT A GREAT SGER. HE WAS A GREAT RERD MAKER, A GIFTED SONGWRER, A EP THKER — A REAL ARTIST THE TE SENSE," ROBSON TOLD ROLLG STONE. "MARV WAS ALWAYS WORTH THE WA." TOP 25 SOUL ALBUMS OF THE '70S

As for the pyrights not owned by Jobete, the chtnut "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)" certaly didn't need another readg, but Gaye's take on Willie Nelson's after-hours classic "Night Life" was spired. Marv Gaye was improvg wh every rerd, gag character and strength of performance, and Moods of Marv Gaye is a radilly better rerd than s precsors. That the years after the release of this album Marv Gaye beme one of the greatt and most fluential sgers the fields of soul and R&B is hardly a matter for discsn.

Fans of saloon sgg may be cur to know how well Gaye far this difficult genre, and for the most part the are fe performanc nsirg the versatile range of his voice and the pth of feelg he brought to most of his performanc.

"Marv uld sg anythg, " Moods of Marv Gaye producer Smokey Robson told Rollg Stone 2010, "om gospel to gutbucket blu to jazz to pop.

So, he followed up 1965's A Tribute to the Great Nat "Kg" Cole wh Moods of Marv Gaye, an album that spl the difference.

EVERY GREAT MOTOWN H OF MARV GAYE

Known throughout the mid- and late ‘60s as “The Prce of Motown”, Marv Gaye won the hearts of untls fans for his soulful croong. Blsed wh a mellifluo tenor and a three-octave vol range, Gaye was one of the most nsistent and enigmatic of the Motown hmakers. Long unavailable on vyl, this qutsential llector’s edn clus the legendary sger’s magnificent but LPfor the Tamla label, The Soulful Moods Of Marv Gaye, pl 4 bon tracks, nsistg of sgl om the same album was rerd over two weeks and was issued on June 8, 1961.

This is the material upon which his soul kgdom and unique personal style were the years after the release of this album Marv Gaye beme one of the greatt and most fluential sgers the fields of soul and R&B is hardly a matter for discsn. Would Marv Gaye have mataed his stat as one of the preement voic soul mic even amid the risg ti of hip-hop and harr edged R&B? While the other two artists mentned above make harr to make any absolute claims about their imaged futur, I thk ’s a ltle easier to image that Gaye would have found a way to thrive even while his peers were phed to mercial rndancy or started makg mic that felt beneath their abili.

After some dabblgs doo-wop early on, Gaye posned himself as a crooner of pop standards like “My Funny Valente” and “How High The Moon,” before quickly embracg the new sound of R&B and soul. If there’s any posive to be found amid all the legal clamor regardg the siari between “Got To Give It Up” and Rob Thicke’s “Blurred L,” ’s that ’s great to see Marv Gaye’s mic is still fluencg today’s artists and producers. Sgers like Michael Bublé and Robert Palmer have tried and failed to pture the gravas that Gaye brought to even the lightt of pop songs.

An equally paful parture, and one that was perhaps more vastatg nsirg she was only 24 at the time of her passg, was Gaye’s equent duet partner Tammi Terrell.

MARV GAYE "REMAKE" OF GLENN MILLER'S "IN THE MOOD"? CROSSWORD CLUE

As fantastic as the two were on their own (and as Gaye was the pany of other female sgers like Mary Wells and Kim Wton), they seemed to brg somethg extra out of one another. Each was spired by what they heard and saw the other — Terrell’s mand of a stage, Gaye’s knee-bucklg voice — and beme the clost of iends. As part of the proceedgs surroundg his divorce om his first wife Anna Gordy, Gaye agreed to give half of the money he would earn om his next album to his ex.

Great as the whole thg is, the apex is this nearly eight-mute track that balanc his raw anger and rignatn at his ex draggg him through a nasty urt fight wh one of his more sensual vol performanc and a steamy backg track that ces three mut to a duet between Fernando Harkns’ tenor sax and Gaye’s Moog reports.

Gaye had yet to really start wrg songs, or at least start wrg songs that me om ep wh his person (sorry, “Hey Diddle Diddle”) by the time he rerd this. The origal is all punch and fire, but spired by the succs a few years earlier of “I Heard It Through The Grapeve,” Gaye and the Funk Brothers turn to the soulful show of support that songwrers Barrett Strong and Norman Whfield exprsed their lyrics.

But ’s a great showse for all of Gaye’s imprsive vol skills, lettg him growl and croon while reassurg all of that he’s had his heart broken a few too many tim.

No song better pass the baton om Gaye’s ’60s swgg R&B era to the unbridled Aocentric/bodycentric funk/soul of the next than this track om Let’s Get It On. If Gaye would have rerd six years or more earlier, also would have lacked that tone of speratn and angst that he brgs to his performance.

Try as they might, no other volist uld be those two sensibili as Gaye do here, brgg to life the guy that you wanted to brg home to meet mom and then sneak off to the bathroom for a quickie before dner is served.

The same year that ssns began for this album, Wisns senator Gaylord Nelson clared the first Earth Day for April 22, 1970, a chance for U.S. Wh all that activism the air, ’s no wonr that Gaye wanted to addrs those same ncerns as part of a song cycle that explored what he saw as a broken and bleedg untry. And goodns knows he’d given his heartach a platform many tim over songs like “Tears Of A Clown” and “Tracks Of My Tears.” What this song required was an earths and slight ht of bterns to give a tthful root to l like “The thgs you do and say are signed to make me blue / It’s a doggone shame my love for you mak all your li seem te.” For as sunny as he sgs , Gaye n’t hi the hurt he’s feelg.
