Stop Lovin Me

Great play off the Hear My Dear from Marvin that the media panned at the time and now praise.

Teena Marie - My Dear Mr. Gaye

Not a well known tribute song. Most folks know of Teena Marie from her other hits.

Marvin Gaye Tribute

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the only song to pay homage to Marvin before his passing. I'll post some other tribute songs to follow

MARVIN GAYE ON FILM

I'm not suggesting you spend the entire 5 minutes watching this, but it is interesting to note this side of Marvin.

FINAL APPEARANCE: Marvin Gaye

Folks asked me what Marvin's final tv appearance was. Here it is. Was in LA for the weekend and didn't get the chance to head over to Gramercy Place.

Marvin Gaye

Not his last appearance as the title says -his last appearance was on Soul Train.

This is from the excellent Motown 25 benefit concert.

Arguably my favorite Marvin footage. His performance from the Operation Push benefit concert would be a definite second.

Frankie Gaye - My Brother

Little beach music flavor here. Resemblance is remarkable. Folks say he sounds like Marvin but I don't see that, unless you consider the soft touch on the song stylings. He wrote a book about Marvin that same out shortly after his death.

THE LAST SONG FROM THE LAST ALBUM

Marvin had some other stuff working as he always did, but this was the last official album to go out - Midnight Love. CBS released a compilation of material after his death and there have been numerous other releases of material since then as well.
