Although Gaye was pleased wh the rults, he was miffed about the praise for Van DePte’s orchtratn. “I’m gonna learn to wre mic, ” Gaye said the ler not for the album.

”One of the stand-out tracks was “Mercy Mercy Me (The Elogy)”, wrten solely by Gaye, which lamented the elogil nightmare of “oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury and radiatn unrground and the sky”.

In his ler not, Gaye clud the cred: “Thanks too to Jam Nyx, a gentleman and a scholar (which I’m apparently not)”, tribute to a songwrer who also worked as a janor and elevator operator at Motown’s offic. Gaye wrote the melody for “Inner Cy Blu” and Nyx me up wh the lyrics about the “have-nots” of Ameri after seeg a newspaper headle about the “ner cy” of Detro.

She said Gaye’s moods grew ever more erratic and vlent as he began regularly “eebasg e”.

“He took a kchen knife and put to my throat, ” she relled her 2017 memoir After the Dance: My Life wh Marv Gaye. ”Gaye saw his own downfall as somehow fated. ”Gaye is mobbed by admirers as he leav wt London’s Mangrove Cafe 1976 (Getty)The peace did not last, of urse, least of all wh his own father.

Dpe the fact that Marv Sr, a mister of a Pentestal church, had beaten Gaye on an almost daily basis throughout his childhood, the sger paid tribute to him the ler not for What’s Gog On, clarg: “While I’ve got you readg, I’d like to first give thanks to my parents, The Rev & Mrs Marv P Gay, Sr, for nceivg, havg and lovg me. ” There now seems a dreadful sense of forhadowg when Gaye sang “father, father/We don’t need to late” on the semal tle track. The vlence between the pair spiralled out of ntrol on 1 April 1984, a day before Gaye’s 45th birthday, when the 70-year-old killed the sger wh three gunshots to the cht, followg a physil altertn about a missg surance pany Sr was hand a spend sentence and lived out his fal days a nursg home, dyg 1998.

Yet remas a bter, grim irony that Gaye, whose sublime What’s Gog On stands as such a clarn ll agast the senselsns of vlence, met such a btal end.
