ANTHOLOGY: THE BT OF MARV GAYE

Marv Gaye's sublime and transcennt album, What's Gog On, had a mil style and pth of feelg that lifted up to the hight level of pop and soul releas and ma unpyable even by Gaye himself, who was smart enough not to try. It seems to float, practilly lumo a sea of ngas and percsn, talkg and strgs, saxophone and multi-tracked Gaye and background sgers a nstantly changg mix that bursts wh energy like life self.

It's as relevant today as ever was though sad to say, I believe tim are even worse now than they were when the album was big surprise was that was Marv Gaye who ma . The real Marv Gaye was aware of the time which he lived, a time that had left the sunny early 60's behd and which had bee turbulent and torn by a multu of problems: the Vietnam War and s protts, the unterculture, life the ghetto, dgs and the only recent realizatn that the natural environment was beg stroyed a way no one had spected. I thk that her ath, on top of everythg else really shook Marv Gaye and ma him realize he uldn't put out another happy, bouncy Motown album as he always song me om Obie Benson the ep voice of the Four Tops who -wrote wh Motown hoe songwrer Al Cleveland.

Norman Whfield had been able to update the Temptatns to edgier songs but nothg as all-enpassg as Marv Gaye was fired up by this song, tly spired. Gaye often lled "God's album" not only bee he sought a spirual answer to mankd's problems but bee he, the micians (Motown's Funk Brothers hoe band), the producer (David Van De Pte) and his -wrers all felt a sh of spiratn like they had never felt rult was unique among Motown albums. Marv Gaye was a te mil giant and eply profound man, his work is beg reasssed more and more as should be as some of the very bt ever rerd.
