Marvin Gaye - Final 24: His Final Hours

[KeeWatts24]

@acquisces...At the very end (51:00) they did mention that he died on April 1st and would've been 45 yrs old the next day

[khaliface]

2 people need a karate kicc tah da face!

[sethmanrockandroll]

This is the saddest one I've seen so far. His sister in law showed good courage here

[sethmanrockandroll]

Haha! They don't have any of his music licensed!

[trickykid73]

5 years !! ....for killing his son ? 20 years minimum ...

[baba70665]

his father was bad minded

[liamjlewis]

Sooo tacky

[KrfNYC2]

@liamjlewis Yeah. Overall, I like it. But I think it would have been better without the reenactments.

[johnlennon1970]

His father shot him?...wtf! i didn't know that!

[TempeSoldier123]

@johnlennon1970 You bastard.

[trickykid73]

@TempeSoldier123 You Prick !

[319am1]

sad!! :((

[tincredible]

It is ironic how his dad thought that soul music was a creation of the devil, but saw nothing wrong with cross-dressing and being jeolous of his own son' success Raising a successful child is most parent's main goal in life. Sometimes these ultra-religious types are so self-righteous, until they don't look into a mirror long enough to see their own flaws.

What's also interesting is how he hated his son, but enjoyed the fruits of his labor. 

[goldenlady2]

unbelievable that he got NO jail time, 6 years suspended,and probation and put into a retirement home,cause he had a brain tumor!!!......smh!!

[Ranlon]

That father was one fucked up crazy jealous bastard.

[sonyagibbs1107]

How can a father who cross-dresses expect to tell a son anything? I would have had him committed to an insane asylum..This family was weak. Someone should have "pulled Marvin, Sr. up." He was a supper hypocrite too; he lived off his money but didn't approve of his career and threw the failure in his face once things started to fall apart. Sad, sad, sad..a real shame.

[MrShad315]

If someone beats your children get a divorice. Marvins mama should have gotten rid of that no good bastard years ago.

[sonyagibbs1107]

@MrShad315 Amen, and Marvin would probably still be here. It's gets me furious when a woman will keep her children in a violent situation FOR WHATEVER REASON...No excuses are acceptable...NONE...My mom put my abusive father out and she had 5, which included 2 sets of twins...He went on to corrupt others..We had peace. I can tell you that as my brothers got older, something terrible would have happened if he'd stay around just like it happened here.

[iampsalmbody]

Interesting series here! I recall talking with my grandma, standing in her room, barely able to clear the height of her chest of drawers when the news of his death came on TV. It meant, at the very least, a big change in the frequency of some of my favorite radio company beneath my covers late at night. Barring some fine details, I wonder if Spike Lee's writing & Tx of the Preacher/Gator characters in "Jungle Fever" was inspired by MG. Regardless, p(e)ace to all.

[TimmyJJam07]

This is really sad, Marvin and all of his demons. Tjam*

[dmobile2go]

OMG!!!



[buchananjosalyn]

As usual the story has changed over the years. The first story was that Marvin "intervened " in a confrontation between his father and Mother. If Marvin "beat his dad, why did dad have "no bruises as he was led handcuffed from the house in a white tee shirt??  Just askin, I was NOT There, but I was old enough to read and listen to the story in 1984.

[goldenlady2]

@buchananjosalyn the biography of Marvin oniline google it....it says he did have bruises.I think the argument started when Sr. was yelling at mom about the papers and Marvin intervened.

[goodiemob303]

I know a guy that looks just like Marvin Gaye!! This guy looks exactly like him.

[IamDottieDandridge]

@goodiemob303 yes he does look like him more than anyone I know and I know that this is probably not funny but I gotta say lol @ the crossdressing dad not the actual dad but the way the actor looks.

[kmommy78]

So sad! Still waiting for the movie. Usher was up for the roll to play Marvin.

[951oct]

@kmommy78 if usher was up for the roll to play marvin than thats fuckin retarted because usher is no where even close to looking like marvin gaye.

[comedyfan3000]

Who's the narrator of this episode? that voice sounds sooo familiar

[kiasky1]

The actor look nothing like Marvin. The dad either.

[kaylajonas555]

Weiirdd..The Guy playing Marvin is my best friends dad,Leroy lol

[joedec]

They also need to make an episode of Ian Curtis

[BruceLeeReDelKungFu]

I was wondering why Tammi Terrell is not mentioned in this documentary. Marvin fell into depression just after her death.

[comedyfan3000]

@BruceLeeReDelKungFu

thats where his cocaine addiction began, was Marvin married to Tammi Terrell at one point?

[BruceLeeReDelKungFu]

@comedyfan3000 They weren't married, "just" friends. But I think it was more than a simple friendship. His depression and drugs addiction after her passing are meaningful.

[chine62]

Marvin was like a child; so pure, so innocent but full of mischief. So painful...

[1666cinnamon]

I dont know if this 24 is 100% is totally accurate. Marvin Gay told his father to kiss his azz. ummmmmm if my daughter told me that as a parent not sure out of anger what I may do. I think he was tired of the drugs and in an out of the house ,,,,,,, he was old and marvin disrespectful. he snapped, I dont angry but I understand. Drugs make people crazy.

[Janthonymusic92]

So sad, on both sides.

[HearWithoutPrejudice]

Those 20 minutes!!!!!!!

[acquisces]

final 24 was a great show, i watched every episode...but one thing they failed to mention in this episode, was that Marvin was killed by his father 1 day before his 46th birthday (born on April 2nd and killed on April 1st)...this strangely co-insides with his father's philosophy: i gave you life so i can take it...i think Marvin knew exactly what he was doing and timed it just right...the sad thing is that the justice system failed and his sick father did not spend the rest of his life in a can.

[acquisces]

thank you for posting this...

[mlkidd9]

Love this show!!! Really would love to see an episode on Chris Benoit.

[rustinpeace1992]

final 24 should episodes on Dimebag Darrell abbot Bon Scott Chris Farley the members of lynyrd skynyrd who died in the plane crash john bonham Freddie mercury Phil Hartman and cliff Burton

[mistamadscientist]

Heres something to think about: What would YOU have done if you were Marvin Gaye Sr? Your son is on crack, and with your rough past with him he will not be in right state of mind to communicate and level with you. Your son's the breadwinner, so u really cant report him or lock him up because he can kick u out the house n u would have no where to go. And he gets physical with you? And your 70 yrs old? Hey, I'm not saying he should have shot him, but heck, what WOULD you have done? #food4thought

[HearWithoutPrejudice]

@mistamadscientist I would have been a better father in the first place! And not withhold the love I need to give for my own self pitty

[goldenlady2]

@mistamadscientist well it was frrebase not crack(cheaper form) but still I just think combined with his mental illness and alcohol abuse,he was from the old school that demanded respect,and he has always hated Marvin! His last statement when asked did he loved Marvin he says."I didnt dislike him"....uggg Dad!!

[jonquil4000]

@nirvanafan91ify And have his father shoot them as well?. Think about what you just posted. If you were a paramedic, what would you have done in that situation.

[nativewizard]

they need a chris farley and phil hartman episode of final 24

[mistamadscientist]

@nativewizard I'll throw in some more names in there: John Candy, Selena, Sam Cooke, Brandon Lee, Eddie Guerrero, and Britnay Murphy.

[nirvanafan91ify]

@mistamadscientist Also John Entwistle, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Dee Dee Ramone, Michael Jackson, Brian Jones, Bon Scott, John Bonham, John Lennon, Ronnie Van Zant, Randy Rhoads, Peter Tosh, Kurt Cobain, Notrious B.I.G, Michael Hutchance,Tim and Jeff Buckley

[mistamadscientist]

@nirvanafan91ify do you happen to know if they still make these episodes? I havent seen any new ones of these in a while. I wish they would bring them back.

[nirvanafan91ify]

@mistamadscientist no idea, i wish they would upload natalie wood and nichole brown simpson's final 24

[mistamadscientist]

@nirvanafan91ify yeah I cant find the natalie wood one anywhere. i have seen the nicole brown simpson one though. by far the most SUSPENSFUL of all of them imo

[nirvanafan91ify]

@mistamadscientist Where did you see the Nicole Brown Simpson one?

[mistamadscientist]

@nirvanafan91ify it was posted on here about 6 months ago, then was taken down. definitly one of the best.

[tacomadavid68]

@nativewizard I think one on Bon Scott would be nice also.
