Gaye had no problems wh the old chtnut "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)" and even more ftly handled Willie Nelson's twilight classic "Night Life. " But only the R&B stuff h, as Robson's "A't That Peculiar" and "I'll Be Doggone" beme Gaye's first ln to Marv Gaye's 'A't That Peculiar'For Robson, that felt almost preordaed. Seems he always had Gaye md for "A't That Peculiar": "We were on tour, and [Miracl bandmate Marv Tarpl] me to me bee he had that guar riff, which I thought was awome, " Robson later remembered.

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.

While a few of the songs here are very transparently built on the skeletons of others ("Ill Be Doggone" and "Mtang Sally", "You've Been a Long Time Comg" and "A Change Is Gonna Come"), Marv Gaye as a performer was strong enough to make the songs enjoyable and unique enough.

Known throughout the mid- and late ‘60s as “The Prce of Motown”, Marv Gaye won the hearts of untls fans for his soulful croong.

BRISH ZOO HOP THAT MIC BY MARV GAYE WILL PUT MONKEYS THE MOOD

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.

EVERY GREAT MOTOWN H OF MARV GAYE

Gaye is one of the few Motown artists who me up through the ranks of that label’s star-makg system and ntued to evolve wh the tim up until his untimely ath one day shy of his 45th birthday. 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.

THE UNTOLD TTH OF MARV GAYE

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. 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.

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. The story behd the succs of this song — and Gaye’s rendn of — is one of those tal that lovers of pop mic still marvel at to this day. Wrten by Whfield and Strong, “Grapeve” was rerd twice 1967: first by Gaye and later wh a funkier arrangement by Gladys Knight & The Pips.

When me to Gaye’s translatn, the label founr was reticent to put out another versn, stead optg to tuck away on the sger’s next album.
