THE TORTURED SOUL OF MARV GAYE AND R. KELLY

None of the men n match the impassned ntradictns that were Marv Gaye — a preacher boy at odds wh all forms of thory, cludg that which he felt was imposed by the women his life and the father who eventually took his life, who shamelsly and shamefully explored the tersectns of sex and spirualy wh a clary rarely achieved any form of exprsive art durg the 20th century. Kelly is no Marv Gaye, the recent releas of Gaye’s I Want You (Deluxe Edn) and Kelly’s The R.

Granted, Gaye was never implited acts of child pornography and — unlike Kelly — he didn’t have to nont a 24-7 media glare.

There was no Electronic Urban Report (EUR), Tom Joyner the Morng Show, BET, or Wendy Williams for Gaye to ntend wh, only Jet Magaze, the still ghetto-fabulo digt of choice many black hom. But there’s no nyg that he was sexually volved wh an unr-aged woman-child, 17 years his junr, when he sang lovgly 1974 on “Jan” (om Marv Gaye Live), “Janis is my girl, all the world, there no one as lovely...
