TRIBUTE TO BILLY STEWART & MARV GAYE

Gaye was 26 when he went to Motown’s Hsville studs Detro to pay his mil rpects to one of his sgg idols. Though a sger whose mil roots were eply embedd gospel mic, his personal tast Gaye gravated towards jazz and, for a long time, harbored aspiratns to be the Ain-Amerin Frank Satra.

Inially, Motown’s boss, Berry Gordy, dulged Gaye’s ambn to be a middle-of-the-road entertaer, as long as he cut some h R&B sis the procs.

A Tribute To The Great Nat Kg Cole, then, wasn’t Gaye’s first foray to jazz terrory; was, fact, the sger’s third attempt at an MOR album, followg When I’m Alone I Cry and Hello Broadway, both llectns of standards released by Motown 1964. Produced by Hal Davis, Marc Gordon, and Harvey Fuqua, Gaye’s Nat Kg Cole tribute opens wh a glor ver of the en abhez-wrten “Nature Boy, ” Cole’s first rerd to crossover and top the US pop charts, 1948.

Bathed lh orchtratn, Gaye’s silky voice, spe beg different tone and texture om Cole’s, reveals the fluence of the Alabama-born sger via s ultra-smooth phrasg.

Cole’s 1950 chart-topper, “Mona Lisa, ” is also fahfully renred by Gaye, whose voice is amed by the opulent sound of massed strgs (Nelson Riddle arranged Cole’s origal but, as was Motown’s practice at the time, none of the personnel or arrangers on Gaye’s album were listed).

Gaye also vered some early Cole hs on his tribute. The same year, Cole reached the R&B Top 5 wh “It’s Only A Paper Moon, ” which Gaye also serv up wh plenty of big band heft mixed wh pizzazz.

In sharp ntrast, a late-night blu feel imbu “Send For Me, ” Gaye’s fger-clickg midtempo take on a Cole chart-topper om 1957, while his take on the 1956 B-si “To The Ends Of The Earth” has a Lat-style groove. Wh his seraphic voice acpanied solely by patterg ngas, Gaye’s versn adher closely to the lean arrangement of the origal rerdg.

Some soul stars om the same era would have sound out of their pth verg Nat Kg Cole songs a jazz settg, but Marv Gaye was his element. Sadly, for him, poor sal of the Nat Kg Cole tribute and, ed, his two prev MOR albums (none of which charted) meant that Gaye’s ambn to bee a smooth, sophistited crooner wh a universal appeal would ultimately be thwarted.

It offers a tantalizg glimpse of a Marv Gaye that was a dited jazz man at heart. That's bee the filmmakers ma an spired choice to hire Motown legend Marv Gaye to put together the soundtrack.

We began our terview wh a listen to the ma theme of the soundtrack, so people uld get a sense of Marv Gaye's mil visn. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "TROUBLE MAN")HEADLEE: Not jt the very distctive sound of Marv Gaye sgg, but a style of mic there that I thk most people would hear and immediately intify as g om the '70s. CAMERON CROWE: Well, this piece of mic and the stuff that Trevor worked on wh Marv Gaye, is really a lost masterpiece lk.

And really, is the missg lk between all those great Motown years for Marv Gaye that culmated "What's Gog On? It was posed by the late Marv Gaye. The fact that all this stuff was kd of reassembled and curated so we n hear the great sre, the one great sre, that Marv Gaye did - and this is a glimpse of where he would have been had he still been wh .

HEADLEE: Well, your ler not, Cameron, you talk about how proud Marv Gaye was of his work on this soundtrack, of his sre.

HEADLEE: Well, let me ask you, Trevor, about Marv Gaye's ments there to the BBC, as well, bee he also says if someone took my album and put to a symphony, would be que tertg.

HEADLEE: So, Cameron, a way, although the sre stands alone and is enjoyable simply as an album, a way, part of the bety of this sre is imagg what might have been, for not the tragic end of Marv Gaye's Yeah. And what was funny was our cematographer on "Vanilla Sky" and "Almost Famo" said to me one day, you know, I knew Marv Gaye.
