I remember when it was announced that Marvin Gaye was shot by his Dad, and he passed away. It was a very sad day! 😔 He was a very brilliant musician, and just about everybody that I knew were mourning his loss. Marvin touched many lives through his songs.🎵 I don't understand how his Dad didn't receive a lengthy prison sentence!!! Five years of probation is only a slap on the wrist. His son Marvin is loved by many of us still. His death was so tragic 😥. Marvin Jr. changed the R & B world, and he made it popular. I know that he is in Heaven, and is making songs for our God, and Savior. He is happy there, and feeling only love and has a joyful heart. No more sadness and pain. God bless y'all. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Dad had a walnut sized tumor in his pituitary gland and apparently Marvin had punched him several times. That’s why he got a plea deal based on mitigating factors. However, his father was an asshole.
RIP Marvin Gaye legend one of my favorite R&B artist of all time and I’m a Youngin And I know all about Old school music and music in general especially R&B soul
1984, such a dark dark day for black baby boomers. His career probably wouldn't have been successful as much in the 80s due to the age demographic of GenXers who came of age and Marvin's core fans were getting older but hate what his dad did
Khris Davis should most definitely be the running up for the Marvin Gaye role for sure... Google actor Khris Davis and you'll see what l mean, his name is spelled with a K" by the way... Khis would win an Oscar playing that role... He just got through playing the Big George Foreman movie...
@@CanadianQueenmagenta I don't know man, Ray Charles single handedly invented soul and took a big risk by fusing blues with gospel which was a big no no in those years.
Very troubled young boy and man. His father killed tormented him and killed him, now it’s was on his soul, until his died!! Such a heartbreaking story!! God continue to rest Marvin Gaye Soul. RIP 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
@@Jcrash71 I think that's being too harsh. I was born in '79 so I don't have first hand memories of Marvin HOWEVER, the moment I first discovered his music I knew there was something special and at the same time, elegiac about the man. I dove headfirst into everything Marvin to the point that I was FANATIC. It doesn't take a genius to see the unease and sadness in his eyes and body movement.
This video doesn't even begin to touch some of the more upsetting things that happened to him and some of the things he did. He lived an extremely dark life. The biography is shocking.
#JudeMarchisio: I had the great honor of reading DIVIDED SOUL: THE LIFE OF MARVIN GAYE by David Ritz some years back. My God, truer words were never spoken. God speed to Mr. Gaye for all that he went through in his troubled life.
My Brother had the privilege to live with Marvin when he & his young son came to stay on Maui for a short time. He said that he couldn’t believe how humble Marvin was, like he didn’t even know he was a “Super Star.” His death was a tragedy & the World lost a rare talent who could touch your soul in so many of his songs.
his father was a pastor and dressed in Marvin's mother's clothing when she'd go to work - weird!!! It appeared his father was really jealous of his success and talent and so sad he bought the gun and the house for his dad and mom and the gun was used on killing him. Even if Marvin was doing drugs, a person, in this case his father, has no right to take him out as he brought him into the world. That's not cool! We lost such a wonderful influence in music and a beautiful man. I liked that Marvin Gaye put the "e" on as Gay was gay as in his father.
Marvin Gaye I seen him in Los Angeles before he passed away he was great he was a crooner a singer that sang love ballads to women man MARVIN there will be no other like u Smokey ROBINSON Marvin RIP Tammy Terrell thank you
Marvin Gaye won his first Grammy for Sexual Healing, Rick James presented him with the award, at the same time Rick James was sleeping with his wife, Marvin Gaye died a few months later, even performed at the 1984 NBA All Star Game before his death.
THIS IS SENSATIONALIZED! MARVIN ALL BE IT A GREAT SINGER BUT BY NO MEANS PERFECT. REMEMBER MARVIN WAS AT HIS FATHERS HOUSE, DRUGS PLAYED A FACTOR IN THE DRAMA ON THAT DAY 😈 I WAS A NEIGHBOR!
How many violent fathers are repressed gay men? So much unhealthy suppression would create alot of inner rage. Marvin Gaye had a sad story, but his music is healing.
I knew he had some problems, but I always wondered how someone who put out something so beautiful and spiritual as the album What's Going On? could go off the rails so badly? Now I know.
How and why would a super star, charm and handsome marvin gaye end up living back home with his parents after all that success. He could have lived anywhere in the country or the world. Street poverty will take your life sooner than later if you never let it go.
Bad contracts, drug addiction, failed relationships, any man with no confidence will fall victim to one of these three demons, out of all the hits he made, he only won one Grammy, fatefully, it was a few months before his death, his ride was cancelled long before he had a ticket.
Blacksploitation, I can't stand that term! But, this was very interesting. I knew a lot of this info. Marvin was marvelous, very handsome but, troubled. Still love his 🎶. 💘
What would you call movies that whites create for billions to exploit old, tired, black stereotypes that whites love spending money to watch the movies, only to get a good laugh? Perhaps you can just separate the term and write 'black exploitation'? Because as a white person I can tell you, that is what it is. Hello Tyler Perry.
Wow, well aren't we channeling Freud, blame the mother? Really? He said over and over that if it WERE NOT for his mother, he would've offed himself. Women didn't leave their husbands back then, it was highly stigmatized to be a single mother. And according to Marvin himself, she did protect and loved him. Move on!
I mean I know who the hell he is but I have never ever heard anything of music before once in my entire life. But I mean Jesus fucking Christ, he was shot and killed by his own goddamn father.
Man don’t smut this great mans life up by putting him on blast by saying he owed money changed name the man is gone let me tell you half of you wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for marking playing on the day you were conceived Marvin was blessed he seen all that was going on around him what’s going on!!! Mercy mercy ME !!! Man Marvin you payed your dues my brother I really think Tupac had this same gift to see what god was showing them in the world yet they fought their demons we don’t know what really happened Marvin RIP if I should die tonight !!!!!
That claim about Marvin being *homosexual* is utter bullshit as the word "Gay" had not yet been hijacked by the homosexual community and had retained its *proper* meaning of being cheerful, happy and elated. If Anything, Gaye was quite the opposite of "gay", he was *morose* about the abusive treatment he got from his father.
I am trying to watch a Marvin Gay e small docu and at the end it gives a domestic abuse hotline wtf is that bro? Defend yourself and call the police this is fucking America. I didn't watch this to feel bad for other people.
Not to everyone...why don't you go shopping and shut your mouth...spoiled rotten ....this is a great story and not all have heard about everything unlike yourself...
Pliz alter that statement. Marvin Gay SNR was no violent man....that kind of language is misleading. Parents those days were "disciplinarians"and not violent freaks as this video wants the young people to believe. The Bible said "spare the rod and spoil the child"... No one calls the Bible a violent book... Jo Jackson has also been unfairly termed the same ...
Rest In Peace Marvin Gaye.
Yes
An artist generation X and millennials missed out, they missed out on his peak from Moods Of Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
@@Jcrash71 I was born in 94 and he’s my favorite singer 🙃
Вечная память!
Marvin really didn't want to do a duit with Diane Ross😔
Such a sad sad way to go. Your own father?! He had a gorgeous voice. Continue to rest peacefully, Mr. Gaye. 🕊️🙏❤️ Definitely gone too soon...
Very true
Another sad way to go is Roger “Zapp” Troutman. He was killed in a Murder-Suicide executed by his brother, Larry Troutman.
....so so talented and gifted yet gone 🎵🎶🎶🎵 RIP Mr. Gaye

Marvin Gaye was a great singer an I love his music. His father killed him! What a shame! R.I.P Marvin Gaye. ❤🙏🏼🕊
A musical pioneer in the first degree. Very great artist, visionary and a troubled man. May he rest in peace.
1984, such a dark dark day for black baby boomers. His career probably wouldn't have been successful as much in the 80s due to the age demographic of GenXers who came of age and Marvin's core fans were getting older but hate what his dad did
@@Jcrash71 Amazing he left this earth with one of the biggest (and most influential) singles of the 1980s.
@@timmy841212 sexual Healing. Not my favourite but a big game changer for soul music... For the worse in my opinion too
@@Jcrash71 can you explain your opinion to why you feel that way about it?
@@nickilema1074 the sounding of R&B/Soul changed during the 80s. Thanks to what Marvin Gaye used to record sexual healing a Roland TR-808
“Here my dear” and “in our lifetime” is some of his best work. Marvin’s the yin and yang. RIP
A great singer. Loved his music.
Gorgeous man...glorious voice. Loved him from the beginning...and yes, old enough to have had his legacy of brilliance forever touch my soul.
A movie should be made 📽️🎬
Khris Davis should most definitely be the running up for the Marvin Gaye role for sure...
Google actor Khris Davis and you'll see what l mean, his name is spelled with a K" by the way...
Khis would win an Oscar playing that role...
He just got through playing the Big George Foreman movie...
Marvin Gaye was the very best male vocalist to this very day. Nobody beats him, nobody!
There's only 1 man that can beat him... He goes by the name of Ray Charles
@@Jcrash71 NO WAY! While Ray Charles is talented nobody holds a candle to the voice of Marvin Gaye. Sorry but not even close.
@@CanadianQueenmagenta I don't know man, Ray Charles single handedly invented soul and took a big risk by fusing blues with gospel which was a big no no in those years.
I like his music. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough and I Heard it Through The Grapevine are my favorites!

Sad Tomorrow’s is my FAVORITE song from him he’s telling such a sad terrible story but so beautifully done. RIP To one of the best ever
Man Marvin I pray 🙏 your at peace till this day your beautiful music is played thank you
Even as a kid, I could see sadness in his eyes ❤😞❤

Loved his songs and voice. Sad, sad family
Most amazing vocalist and writer
The world lost a very unique individual because of an ungrateful, jealous, cross dressing, dead-beat father.
Yes. He was a shitty husband and father. Pure garbage
Brilliant singer I think he loved tammi terrel never the same when she died rip
Thank u yet the mother stayed married to him and only divorce him after he killed Marvin. ...
he never recovered from his traumatic childhood the wounds of that time have never healed
I have one of his records and I love Marvin Gaye's Music.
Thanks for the videos. I appreciate the facts.
I like that he made a genuine attempt at the NFL. Even if it didn't work out. He gave it all he had. All on his own.
The worst decision Marvin made was to go back to the states. He should have stayed in Belgium!!
If he just had him arrested or placed him rehab he would have been 83 this year and saved
My favorite singer of all time. My idol.
Marvin Gaye I seen him in Los Angeles before he passed away he was great he was a crooner a singer that sang love ballads to women man MARVIN there will be no other like u Smokey ROBINSON Marvin RIP Tammy Terrell thank you

Sad to loss your life to your own father…and he doesn’t go to jail.

Marvin’s dad was jealous of Marvin.
Shout out to Gaye
💯
3:00 - His father was often described as a “sexually ambiguous man”.
You mean he was… Gaye?
Thanks, I’m here all week!
How many violent fathers are repressed gay men? So much unhealthy suppression would create alot of inner rage. Marvin Gaye had a sad story, but his music is healing.
If you ever see what his father looked like, doesn't it remind you of a violent Little Richard?
Same reason why I’m still alive my mom and my kids
Got to give ot up is my favorite song by him
That song makes you wanna dance even if you dont like to
I can't pick a favorite
@@stevesherrell9487 it sure does
I knew he had some problems, but I always wondered how someone who put out something so beautiful and spiritual as the album What's Going On? could go off the rails so badly? Now I know.
Pain creates the best music
His music is still so important.
Father father, we don't need to escalate 😭
Marvin Gaye was the man
Rest Peacefully
Sr was also insanely Jealous of Jr's talent
How and why would a super star, charm and handsome marvin gaye end up living back home with his parents after all that success. He could have lived anywhere in the country or the world. Street poverty will take your life sooner than later if you never let it go.

He was actually the one that purchased them the home which further fueled his father's jealousy.

He was shot atleast 2 times the last time when he was on the ground thats not self defense
Such a brilliant singer. His mother should have protected him as a child
If Marvin Gaye's mother would have divorced his father, Marvin Gaye would probably not have been murdered by his father.
Wow, well aren't we channeling Freud, blame the mother? Really? He said over and over that if it WERE NOT for his mother, he would've offed himself.

welcome all the world
"What's Going On" is the most timeless recording ever done!
❤❤
Hi Grunge team can you do Chelsie kryst? Ms. USA 2019. 🙏 thank you
My opinion is his father was a manic depressive it's hell for the children
I mean I know who the hell he is but I have never ever heard anything of music before once in my entire life. But I mean Jesus fucking Christ, he was shot and killed by his own goddamn father.

Totally unfair
Gaye was great but the most known Motown artist? Come one Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson are way more famous.
Marvin gaye he move to Europe to hill from drug not cuz pay taxes these man open the doors to black artist he make music music RiP legend
What happen to Marvin Gaye younger son Frankie Gaye I didn't say his older son Marvin 111
Is Marvin Gaye? Good one 🤣
I am trying to watch a Marvin Gay e small docu and at the end it gives a domestic abuse hotline wtf is that bro? Defend yourself and call the police this is fucking America. I didn't watch this to feel bad for other people.
MICHAEL JACKSON?????
I've seen his documentary on E! True Hollywood story! His father is weird. Crossdressing? Marvin Gay Sr. Is really gay?
His father was a cross dresser.
All of this is old news.
Not to everyone...why don't you go shopping and shut your mouth...spoiled rotten ....this is a great story and not all have heard about everything unlike yourself...

He still killed Marvin so your point about him being nonviolent is moot.
Horrible human being. Don't let his voice sell you .
Sort of like the guy on your profile pic. No one is perfect.
@Imagine troll with no talent get lost.
John Lennon was a domestic abuser himself though.
