If you love Marv Gaye read both books!!!

Creativy like Marv Gaye's om many sourc, pecially when he had so many difficult relatnships, wh women, his fay, and wh himself. I'd never really nsired Gaye's fluence on R, Kelly, eher, although I'm not sure if I had that I would have nsired at the length that Dyson do, but I do appreciate his willgns to five his subjects.

Reviewed the Uned Kgdom on June 23, 2014This book provis trigug reflectns on Marv Gaye's mil evolutn the ntext of the culture which he lived and how impacted his work and how his work impacted culture. Was hopg to be more about Marvyn Gaye than Motown. Reviewed the Uned Kgdom on January 11, 2014this book about Marv Gaye was not what I expected the thor went on about R Kelly for far too longand not really about MG arts lov and mons very disappoted wh this to be hont.

Many years before global warmg beme a hot topic, Marv Gaye wrote this song about the environment and how we have an obligatn to re for the Earth. For his What's Gog On album (1971), Gaye got away om love ballads and explored eper social them, which at first didn't s well wh Motown boss Berry Gordy, who thought the songs wouldn't be marketable.

It had to be explaed to Palmer rerd a versn of this song bed wh Gaye's "I Want You" 1991.
