		Gaye got his start singing in the church choir, later learning to play the piano and drums to escape from his physically abusive father.
		After Gaye hit the charts with his biggest hit, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", Terrell collapsed onstage in Virginia from a then-undiagnosed brain tumor which killed her in 1970.
		As part of the divorce settlement, Gaye agreed to record a new album and remit a portion of the royalties to Anna as alimony; the result was 1978's Here, My Dear, a deeply personal album that was so detailed that Anna Gordy considered suing him for invading her privacy.

		Marvin Gaye's first three Motown singles were all unsuccessful; he finally scored a minor hit in 1962 with his fourth attempt, "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", with Martha and The Vandellas on background vocals.
		Terrell's illness began a depression in Gaye; when his Norman Whitfield-produced "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" became his first #1 hit and the biggest selling single in Motown history to that point, he refused to acknowledge his success, feeling that it was undeserved.
		Gaye's refound fame pushed him even deeper into drug addiction and paranoia as he had had a premonition that someone was going to kill him, throughout his tour, he had a bevy of bodyguards surrounding him to keep him safe and often wore a bullet-proof vest.

		Terrell's illness began a depression in Gaye; when his Norman Whitfield-produced "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" hit #1 on the US pop charts for seven weeks in 1968/1969 and became the biggest selling single in Motown history to that point, he refused to acknowledge his success, feeling that it was undeserved.

	MSN Encarta - Marvin Gaye
		Gaye, Marvin (1939-1984), American singer and songwriter, a recording artist for Motown Records, and one of the most popular and influential singers of rhythm-and-blues music (R&B) in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Influenced by American singers Frank Sinatra, and Nat "King" Cole, Gaye had hoped to sing in the popular style known as crooning, but after his first album—a series of jazz standards—received little attention, Motown had him record up-tempo soul-music material.
		A work that blended styles of soul, jazz, and rock music, the album marked one of the first times Motown had given an artist nearly complete creative control.

		Gaye sang in his father's Evangelical church in Washington, D.C., and became a member of a nationally known doo-wop group, the Moonglows, under the direction of Harvey Fuqua, one of the genre's foremost maestros, who relocated the group to Chicago.
		Gaye also displayed dazzling virtuosity by overdubbing (building sound track by track onto a single tape) his own voice three or four times to provide his own rich harmony, a technique he would employ for the rest of his career.
		Gaye, who cited his chief influences as Ray Charles, Clyde McPhatter, Rudy West (lead singer for the doo-wop group the Five Keys), and Little Willie John, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

	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 who's earlier output on Motown and various other labels had never quite managed to find an audience.
		The album was his least successful release in decades, and this, combined with the numerous conflicts that arose between the singer and Motown during its production, finally brought about the end of his long tenure with the label.

		EASY (1969; with Valerie Simpson, credited as Tammi Terrell) * (1 out of 5) Tammi was gravely ill by 1969 and was in no condition to record an album and as a result, Motown committed a disrespectful crime in their effort to get a follow up to the very successful YOU'RE ALL I NEED.
		The fact that it was Simpson's voice on the majority of the album and not Tammi's was a secret Motown guarded closely for many years, continuing to deny the rumor even as Marvin and Simpson both came clean about the issue.

	Enculturation: Emily Gray
		Marvin Gaye's characterization of his seminal album What's Going On (1971) as a "me against the Man" noncommercial rebellion is a clear example of the fascinating way hype and hermeneutics clash at the site of a pop culture text.
		This hyped mutiny against "management" is one that had roots even in Gaye's earliest singing experiences: in a number of biographical texts, it is clear that Marvin Gaye had a strong and paradoxical desire to simultaneously be a part of and yet be apart from the establishment.
		The conflict in Marvin Gaye between his desire to be like his father (a preacher, a believer, the family's provider, the mother's defender) and his struggle to avoid being influenced by the man erupted into a tableau of violence in which Marvin Gay, Sr.

	CNN.com - The triumph and tragedy of Marvin Gaye - Jun 8, 2004
		Marvin Gaye's voice was a remarkably versatile instrument, sometimes gossamer, sometimes guttural, always expressive and emotional.
		Gaye was a fine drummer, a terrific pianist and a natural arranger, multiplying his vocals to summon forth the doo-wop bands and gospel choirs of his youth.
		Still, Gaye's creativity could not be put in a box, not even in the Motown assembly line to which Gaye was tied more closely than most: He was married to Anna Gordy, Motown founder Berry Gordy's sister.

	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.
		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.
		The title track is breathtaking and the album is thematically coherent with flashes of brilliance, but there's a lot of redundancy - the same melodies recur again and again, and it wears thin, particularly since there are almost no vocals.

		YOU'RE ALL I NEED (1968; with Tammi Terrell) **1/2 (4.5 out of 5) Stronger album tracks and a more unified feel make Marvin and Tammi's** second release together superior to their first.
		In theory, Marvin and Tammi recorded three albums together, but Tammi was desperately ill and dying at the time the third album was being recorded, so for most of it, Tammi was replaced by Valerie Simpson, although it was Tammi's name that appeared on the album and the singles that came from it.
		So the two albums featured on this collection are the only albums that Marvin and Tammi recorded together.

		However, what this CD does offer is a great selection of many of Marvin's hits, plus fabulous album tracks such as those from the period in which Marvin became a voice of inner city America in the early '70s.
		Marvin always considered himself a balladeer like Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole rather than a typical R+B singer, but his early attempts to establish himself in this role were not a success.
		This double-CD is a nice introduction to the music of Marvin Gaye, one of the finest soul singers of the twentieth century.

		Marvin had earlier in the decade recorded duets with two other Motown ladies in Mary Wells, and then Kim Weston, and after the death of Tammi in the early seventies went on to record a string of hit singles with Diana Ross.
		Tammi Terrell herself had recorded a number of songs under the name of Tammi Montgomery before joining Berry Gordy’s Motown empire in late 1964.
		One thing is certain, and that is had Tammi not have died so young then she would have become a much bigger star in her own right.

		It was Marvin Gaye's first live show in nearly 4 years, backed by some of the original musicians on the LP, on 'Marvin Gaye Day,' Washington D.C. (his hometown), May 1, 1972.

		Anyway, Tammi (or Tommie, as her family knew her) was the older of two children born in Philadelphia to Thomas Montgomery (brother of boxer Bob Montgomery) and Jennie Montgomery (an actress).
		Symptoms of a malignant brain tumor came when she collapsed onstage while dueting with Marvin at Virginia's Hampton University in 1967 (CTPB, the scene was not Hampden-Sydney College).
		Marvin was so crushed by Tammi's illness and death that he sequestered himself from the studio from late 1969 until 1971, and from the stage until 1972.

		Gaye was named after his father, a minister in the Apostolic Church.
		When it emerged in 1981, Gaye accused Motown of remixing and editing the album without his consent, of removing a vital question-mark from the title, and of parodying his original cover artwork.
		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.

		Issued right in the middle of the decade at a time when Motown were on a roll and couldn’t fail, and with the majority of the labels major acts having some form of chart action in the UK and US.
		This album recorded in 1968 resulted in the Marvin and Tammi collaboration taking almost permanent residence in the UK charts with some three songs all becoming top twenty hits during 68-69.
		One other song of note on this album is ‘Come On And See Me’ a song which Tammi had recorded herself as a single in 1965, and without question remains Tammi’s finest moment and is one the most collectable UK Motown 45’s.
