Happy Sucka Free Sunday! Guess who back for another storytelling chat with music as the focal point? If you guessed Joshua Asante you'd be flirting with luck and you'd also be correct. April marks both the birth and death of Trouble Man, Marvin Gaye.
Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr.; April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. He helped to shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist with a string of hits, earning him the nicknames "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul".
In part one of a two-part episode, Joshua and I each share our 5 song playlists exploring our admiration and love for the artist who passed away just one day shy of turning 45 years old. In this episode, we discuss a ridiculous great idea, vulnerability, church, ghost notes in music, the blues, California raisins, and much more. If you can’t tell, Joshua and I both respect art, one another, and Marvin so it only makes sense that together the conversation gets lively, to say the least. We hope you enjoy it.
