The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE PodcastWhat Marvin Gaye was Truly About as an ArtistWe're finally to the album "When I'm Alone I Cry," There are many things to learn about Marvin Gaye as the artist thru this album and the many unreleased songs we've discovered together thru this podcast series so far, each shared as music videos on the "Marvin Gaye & Podcast" YouTube Channel. We now have a 44 song playlist titled "Marvin Gaye Jazz Songs," the bulk of them unreleased from the decade of the sixties. The majority of these songs have been discovered by me, only this year. And there is something I've learned about Marvin. If there is gem, after ge...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE PodcastMarvin Gaye's Message For The Times: "God Is Love"Hi Friends, in light of continued, ongoing situations related to my last episode, I felt the need to provide some mainline, extremely potent LOVING perspective on these times from Marvin Gaye. The constant "breaking news" of this year can begin to feel overwhelming. I want to offer a slight glimmer of hope and encouragement. In this episode I share some details of recent knowledge I have gained of specific "black experience in America" incidents from the last century. These details help to explain the extent to which we (at least) are not living in the same world that was...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE PodcastMy Take On The Times Tied To Marvin Gaye's "You're The Man"Hi Everyone, I wasn't even planning on recording this episode today. But it is upon learning today of yet another moment that happened last night (that is too much a sign of the times) that led to me taking this episode to fully express my take on the times. To me, it all represents the ingrained remnants of the history of this nation. As you'll hear in the introduction to the episode, this is not one that talks much about Marvin Gaye, or his music. I do manage to make an important, relevant to 2020, reference to his Unreleased...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE PodcastMarvin Gaye's Quest To His Album "Vulnerable"Momentum has continued on the topic of Marvin Gaye's self-actualization. I've dug deeper into what did Marvin do with his time, on his journey thru life, once that "straw that broke the camel's back" incident happened in his career in 1967? In the previous episode, thru examining Marvin's released material we saw a several year span of time, from 1967 to total fruition of self-actualization with the release of "What's Going On" in 1971. Yet, and this is what makes it all the more poignant and personal to Marvin's LIFE, as we now have access to more unreleased material, we come across...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE PodcastMarvin Gaye's Guide To Self-Actualization (What we can learn for our walk thru life)In this episode let's discuss the journey of Marvin Gaye's life which is a true guide for anyone to follow toward the goal of achieving self-actualization. Self-actualization: "the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone." Did not Marvin Gaye accomplish that in his own lifetime? the answer is yes, and it is documented for us thru a musical journey of the decade of the 1960s. With our previous knowledge gained of specific experiences Marvin shared during that decade and stories we've gleaned from others around Marvin during those...

I dive deep into conveying my personal take on how this song being released in 1981 without Marvin Gaye's final stamp of approval has made me feel. It was not until 2007 that his finalized version was finally given to us. There is a lot to express, as a lifelong fan, about the years of waiting for this unreleased gem to be gifted to us. I also share how I recently came across the likely rarest unreleased project of Marvin Gaye's career.

Remarkable, due to the degree to which Marvin may have seemed to be drowning from the status of most all facets of his life at this time. And yet, I continue to share how I feel this to be his most spiritual work. The most spiritual, because when you consider the degree to which Marvin was blessed with a gift from God, it was exactly that gift that in the thick of the tribulations of his life he was able t...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE Podcast"Praise" (during the pitfalls of life)-Marvin Gaye's 1981-In Our Lifetime?When Marvin Gaye began working on his album "In Our Lifetime," it was probably the most encompassing low-point of his life. It seemed like almost all facets of his life were at an all-time low. And yet, while in the midst of the pitfalls of his life, Marvin managed to rely on his Enduring Gifts from God and did some of his most important spiritual work. The song "PRAISE" is an Enduring Gift to rely upon for anyone and everyone, especially in the MIDST of the pitfalls of life. We will cover many of the songs from this album...

In this episode we discuss the general, music critic review of Marvin Gaye's album "Here, My Dear." Too often those without a queen insight into Marvin's entire body of work, focus too much on the backstory of how this project came to be, to provide money for Marvin & Anna's divorce settlement. Too often critics dismiss this project as something Marvin set out to do with a sense of spite and lack of concern for it's overall quality. And that simply is NOT what this project is. This pr...

Remarkably, it took until the 30th anniversary re-release of this project for us to get the "updated information" that Anna Gaye co-wrote with Marvin on this song. In 26 years of study of this work-of-art, I never listened to it from a perspective of thinking Anna Gaye had a hand in its creation, other than being its central source of inspiration. I have SO MUCH TO SAY about this song, that I have split it into two parts. But as promised, you can check out t...

We've discussed in-depth Marvin's philosophical abilities; and this song is a higher-level, more generally speaking, offering of guidance on the subject of Anger. We get no details of specific incidents that give us the tea, but all of that "messy-ness" is not at all the spirit of this song. Marvin offers us higher-plane, self-control, best practices for navigating life's situations that will place us in the proximity of ANGER; offering encouragement for why it's best to control the key of...

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE Podcast"I Met A Little Girl" Marvin Gaye's 1978-Here, My Dear (All the heartache hidden)In this episode we explore, what is possibly, Marvin Gaye's deepest love song. It is a song covering the full arc of a love experience from promising and hopeful; but yet, almost BECAUSE of that start not based on the fullest truths shared among both parties, there were circumstances left to fester that could only lead to its demise. It's a maturely handled accounting of Marvin's marriage to Anna.

It's been in this past week that I came across the video of Marvin's 1980 concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival.

It is a definite resource for getting to know more about the life of Marvin Gaye beyond the music, which will likely only make the two more seamless. A...

I've been blessed to visit this gorgeous archipelago several times thru the years; But it was on that very first visit that I immediately got it: the appeal the islands had for Marvin. The Islands are a spiritual place for rejuvenation, healing and renewal. I first learned of Marvin's affinity for the Islands when I read his semi-autobiography "Divided Soul" when I was 15. Jan Gaye also details multiple visits their family took to the islands in her book. I reference a bi...

I was only 14 and it provided a clear understanding to me that "WOW, Marvin Gaye...is the REAL DEAL!" The way that this sold-out coliseum full of adoring fans EXPLODES at the moment Marvin utters two words: DISTANT LOVER...it gives chills.

The Enduring Gifts of MARVIN GAYE Podcast"Star Spangled Banner"-1983 (Proof-Positive that Marvin Gaye is [fill in the blank praise] That There EVER Was)The Star Spangled Banner was written in 1814. Today, that makes the song 205 years old. On February 13, 1983 at the NBA all-star game, when Marvin Gaye "Marvin Gaye-nized" the song, it was, let's call it ONLY, 169 years old. Does its being ONLY 169 vs. today's 205 years old matter? No, and here's why, because no one has ever done it like that before, since, never will, and will NEVER top it.

I believe, if Marvin Gaye could only play you one song off of this album, he'd play you THIS song. I feel that this one song conveys the full message of the album more than any other, making it Marvin's thesis. It is one of only 2 songs on the album that is not segued into from a previous track, the song "What's Going On" being the only other. I go so far as to declare the song "Right On" to be...

I was only 13 when I made a "big-girl" attempt to go from my previous level of musical sophistication; enjoying the songs of New Kids On the Block, up to this very deep-dive into some very deep content of Marvin's. It didn't work for me at that time. I was so young and naive, all I could connect to the song was the very similar United Airlines tagline "Flying the Friendly Skies." I was too young to immediately understand the two...
