	Marvin Gaye - Musique \| Ados.fr
		Né Marvin Pentz Gay Jr., le 2 avril 1939 à Washington, il commence à chanter à 3 ans dans la chorale de l’église de son père pasteur.
		D’ailleurs, cette austérité aura raison de Marvin Gaye puisqu’il sera abattu par son propre père le 1er avril 1984 sous prétexte de « diablerie » et « possession du démon » (s’il fallait abattre les gens possédés, il n’y aurait plus grand monde sur la Terre !).
		Marvin Gaye sombre alors dans la dépression et peaufine dans le silence de sa peine le magnifique et cultissime What’s Going On, mélange de larmes esseulés et de joies nostalgiques, d’espoir vacillant et de désespoir pluvieux.

	Marvin Gaye
		Renamed Marvin Gaye, with an "e" on the end of his name, he began his career as a jazz balladeer, but in 1962 he was persuaded to record some R&B, and notched up his first hit single with the confident "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow", a Top 10 hit.
		Marvin Senior was arrested, tried and convicted, but was sentenced to only six years probation after a judge ruled the case "self defence".
		Gaye's remarkable vocal range and fluency remains a touchstone for all subsequent soul vocalists, and his "lover man" stance has been frequently copied as well as parodied.

		Gaye later took up piano and drums, and music became his escape from the nightmarish realities of his home life -- throughout his childhood, his father beat him on an almost daily basis.
		Consequently, in 1972, Gaye changed directions again, agreeing to score the blaxploitation thriller Trouble Man; the resulting soundtrack was a primarily instrumental effort showcasing his increasing interest in jazz, although a vocal turn on the moody, minimalist title track scored another Top Ten smash.
		Gaye's career resurgence brought with it an increased reliance on cocaine; finally, his personal demons forced him back to the U.S., where he moved in with his parents in an attempt to regain control of his life.

	Marvin Gaye
		With a career that spanned the entire history of rhythm and blues, from '50s doo wop to '80s soul, Marvin Gaye exemplified the maturation of romantic fl pop into a sophisticated form spanning social and sexual politics, Marvin Gaye was one of the most consistent and enigmatic of the Motown hitmakers.
		Gaye was three years old when he began singing in his father's church choir and was soon playing the organ and drums, too.
		Gaye favored romantic and sometimes sensual ballads and felt that his desire to move into a more mainstream, sophisticated style was hampered by Motown's demand for hits.

	Marvin Gaye
		Gaye's ambition was to establish himself as an interpreter of jazz standards in the vein of Nat King Cole, but his efforts in this direction during his first year at Motown were not particularly well-received.
		In 1967 Gaye was teamed up with his third singing partner, Tammi Terrell -- a Philadelphia native whose earlier output on Motown and various other labels had never quite managed to find an audience.
		When Gaye at last resumed his musical activity, both the subject matter and style of his songs had undergone a marked change -- the former now concerning itself with social issues and the latter integrating jazz and classical influences to create a more sophistcated backdrop for his vocals.

	MARVIN GAYE'S LET'S GET IT ON
		Marvin Gaye is certainly one of the most remarkable singers and songwriters this country has ever produced, a towering talent whose influence on R&B, and popular music in general, is immeasurable.
		Music was one of the few pleasures Marvin had in life (in addition to organ and piano, he also played drums), and as soon as he graduated from high school, he eagerly joined the Air Force as one way out of his deplorable home life.
		Gaye was somewhat frustrated by his earlier attempts at working on new material with other writers and was open to trying something different and new.

		In 1969, Marvin Gaye was in the middle of a sturdy, but not overly exceptional, pop career.
		Biographers have suggested that Gaye’s ego was as big as the dark side of the moon, and he must have relished pouring his voice and his words all over this record.
		Gaye’s career is one of many that disprove the myth that pop artists execute an initial set of good work and then decline.

		The Vandellas' voices drown out Marvin's, but if you listen closely, you will find that his character loves the girl "like a baby boy loves his toy." That's why the Vandellas sing the title and "baby boy" most of the time.
		As far as I can tell, he's telling the people that his girlfriend is treating him unfairly, so he wants one of the people to act as a witness for him, to tell her how badly she is treating him.
		During the first half-minute, Marvin speaks about how false marriage vows really are: marriages are supposed to last "till death do us part," but most deteriorate long before then, as was the case with the narrator's marriage.

		Marvin Gaye (originally Gay) was the second of four children of Alberta and Marvin Gay, Sr., a minister.
		Of his relationship with his father, Gaye would later say: "Living with my father was like living with a king, a very peculiar, changeable, cruel, and all-powerful king." That Marvin would, as a teenager, turn to more secular pleasures like sex, Viceroy cigarettes, and doo-wop music defied his father's uncompromising expectations.
		Marvin Gay, Sr., was later acquitted of his son's murder, claiming that he acted in self-defense.

		After the initial triumphs of Marvin, Mary Wells, the Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, the Miracles, the Supremes, Four Tops, The Temptations and Stevie Wonder in the early to mid-sixties, the second phase of Motown's bestselling saga was ushered in by the brilliant producer Norman Whitfield.
		Marvin claimed Norman's arrangements were too high for his voice, forcing him to strain and limiting his capacity to interpret.
		Marvin also dispelled the notion that pop and gospel didn't mix by invoking whole prayers in the center of his suite and calling out to Jesus.

	Marvin Gaye
		Gaye continued to write and produce concept albums for the next decade, of varying quality, usually exploring the contradictions and connections between his sexuality and his spirituality.
		In fairness, I think this was Gaye's last foray into supper club music; it includes Cole's signature "Mona Lisa" and "Unforgettable" plus versions of "Ramblin' Rose" and "Nature Boy" (also recorded by such dissimilar acts as John Coltrane and Caetano Veloso).
		Gaye himself was slowly retreating from crossover pop music and learning to write, but he had a long way to go - "Stepping Closer To Your Heart" is good but quite corny, like much of the album not as hard-hitting and passionate as the label's best work.
