MARV GAYE

Comprenndo la naturale predisposizne di Gaye a terpretare le nzoni d'amore, lo lanciò sempre ppia n terpreti femmili Motown: oltre Martha, anche Mary Wells, Kim Wton, Diana Ross, ma soprattutto Tammi Terrell. Il 2 aprile l 1984, attamente il grno prima l suo 45imo pleanno, il padre omonimo di Marv Gaye seguo ad una le molto probabilmente per una qutne legata all'eredà, sparò uccindo il figl. Tra il 1971 e 1973, fatti, Gaye realizzò una serie di registrazni dall’atmosfera “faiare” per sperimentare nuove sonorà, dopo l’enorme succso di What’s Gog On, dis izialmente po benvoluto anche dalla sa madre.

Gaye era anra parte legato all’immage di crooner doo-wop cucagli addosso dall’etichetta, nonostante avse appena dato una svolta ante ai suoi tti, riunendo le tensni lla poli, lla religne e lla cultura aoamerina sotto il ppello di un soul raffato, liquido, elegante e ’re the Man, raclta di sgoli e provi, rrae e immortala, dunque, quel procso di perfeznamento di un sound uni, prentando una serie di istantanee che immortalano l’allenamento quotidiano di un pugile verso il match cisivo lla sua rriera. It also marked the high pot of 25-year Marv Gaye’s reer - which went hand hand wh womanisg, dg addictn and creasg paranoia, and end wh tragedy a day before his 45th birthday. Maro lla sorella più gvane l boss Berry Gordy, n una formazne gospel di cui era bore al padre pastore prottante (lo stso padre pastore che lo uccirà n un lpo di pistola il grno l suo quarantacquimo pleanno) e un passato prossimo e voce svariati gppi dal suono non troppo nero, Marv Gaye è anche di tratti non troppo aini, non eccsivamente scuro, piuttosto alto e n un pa di notevoli spalle larghe, grazie alle quali porterà il pleto elegante, d'ordanza per i micisti pop l tempo, e nsuno prima e nsuno dopo, so ai grni nostri.
