oh god this is sad and touching. It's as if he knew before hand he'd die prematurely. He seemed like a cool, just normal person who obviously loved God.
@kietdjvn168 - life is what you make it. fuck what people think. you came into this world alone, you goin die alone what happens in between is LIFE!! ...LOOK UP, GET UP, AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!
whatever the issue thats depressing you, learn from Marvin's Example that he definitely had serious personal issues & bouts but he knew God loved him & thats what gave him joy-the same is for you
This is a first for me - the song as well as many of the scenes in the video - thank you so much for posting this for my/our ongoing memory of Marvin and the beauty of his music - thank you!!!
Visit the website of the writer of this AWESOME production Angela Barrow Dunlap. This video sequence was the ending to the phenomenal Stageplay "My Brother Marvin" written by Zeola Gaye and adapted to a stageplay by Angela Barrow-Dunlap (Writer, Producer, Promoter)...If you did not have an opportunity to see this play you missed something so awesome and inspring.
I was in a boarding school (7 or 8 years old) away from my mother when my bother use to play this album. Without even knowing the lyrics every time I hear this song I'd go to a corner and cry because I miss my mum so much. The emotion Marvin Gaye conveyed in this song cant be missed even by an infant.
Thank you for posting this here, as a youth growing in in Compton CA, our family have always listened to Marvin and today we play his music at parties, cruising or just kicking back. Marvin Gaye music is loved and even lyrics tatooed on us Chicanos.
My mother's friend is still upset to this day because marvin was supposed to come to her house and she had fixed everything up even got some drinks....went and got food and she is till this day heart broken....
Man oh man. It doesn't get any better than this. The man, the song, the words, the music, amazing. We all should be so very very fortunate....how many arms have felt their dream, how many hearts have felt there world stand still! Amazing...
I had the honor of seeing Marvin Gaye in his last tour, Sexual Healing. He had the crowd mesmerized.... Wow! Will never for get it or you Marvin Gaye. Happy 71st birthday. I miss you sooooo much! R.I.P Marvelous Marvin!
It seems like yesterday and as I look across the ocean at Japan and the nuclear meltdown , I hear Mercy , Mercy the ecology and say Marvin was so far ahead of his time. Like so many others gone to soon, but we all have a date with destiny and the bell that tolls.

Marvin Gaye, A Prophet of Music, Song And Life! Felt His End Was Comin, But Came By The Doings of His Own Dad On April 1, 1984, Not Even 24 hours of His Own Birthday of April 2nd. To This Day, Tears Still Fall. His Memorial Is Here Once Again, But Will This Time Be For Global Healing, Prayer And Salvation From Our Own Selves, A Global Mess?

It has to hurt huging.your dad wearing a wig and he looks like a woman. but it also hurts never ever seeing or ever knowing your dad as my case is. so if i die to night thumbs up to all the dads that are in there kids life. just a littel something. from j dog
Dear Mr. Kingson, what you did here touches me so much. Thank you for taking the time to do this for a man whose music touched the world. My dear, sweet cousin Marvin. It brought tears of joy to my eyes to see some ofthe candid moments, again I than you deeply.
How could anyone dislike this song? You would either have to be ignorant to music or just plain bias! What a testimony to life and creating a melody towards agony. Way beyond his time! RIP Marvin.... Such a beautiful human being and talent. Only God could give such a treasure of a gift! Truly tearful :)
@debcanada1 Just because his last name was Gay doesn't mean he was homosexual! A lot of his problems had more to do with his tortured relationship with his father and the haze of drugs that he lived through in the late '70s. I encourage you to read DIVIDED SOUL by David Ritz or even better Dyson's (forgot his first name) book which is very detailed.
I won't use the word hate, but I really, really, dislike when people have heart-felt comments and start off by saying "I'm WHITE...bla bla bla". Have we not passed the point of telling people what we THINK we are... instead of feeling the music, the passion, the people, the message? Marvin's messages, along with others, are disrespected when one has to validate there color, race, gender and so on...LISTEN.....
Now no one jump me for this ..and I mean no disrespect for this great artist but does anyone think he was so tortured because he was secretly gay and he was supposed to be such a lover of the women, because his songs were so sexually geared towards women's demographic back then,, he was a visionary for his lyrical time. I think he was gay and very confused.. if I am wrong I am so sorry for even saying this thought out loud. I am a very big fan of this man so no one come after me for this please
Missin Marvin and his music... April will be his birthday and his end! Was a great honor to work with his brother Frankie and other family members as well as growin up and workin with his drummer Bugsy Wilcox... Peace and Healin To All The Family, Fans & Friends. The above video work is an awesome tribute to Marvin and the embrace at the End of him Father, his dad, is so touching, and Frankie Gaye's song ("My Brother") to Marvin, his brother, before Frankie passed.
I was co-manager of Marvin's brother Frankie Gaye, who died of a massive heart attack. Marvin's nephew Tony Houston was my engineer at C.A.S.H. Recording studio in Compton, CA.
I grew up with Marivin's drummer Bugsy Wilcox. I left from over the family house a few hours before the tragedy. The singer that ranked with Marvin Gaye to me was Sam Cooke, who also had a tradic ending.
"Marvin will always be well loved and missed" Peace!
marvin gaye was about to do a duet with the beautiful teena marie but died shortly before... Now they are both together again they can sing all the song s they want R.I.P MARVIN GAYE AND TEENA MARIE XX
One of the refugees, who said he was a statistician at the country's agriculture ministry, said the nation's food supplies are exhausted. He asked to remain anonymous for fear his family would face reprisals -- other refugees have cited examples of their families being fined or jailed after their flight -- as he painted a picture of spiraling problems in the pariah nation.
Great video. I've been a big Marvin Gaye fan for decades. My brother saw him live on his "Sexual Healing" tour and he told me Mr. Gaye tore the place up. Marvin Gaye had so much talent. What a terrible loss. One of the best videos and I'm checking out music videos all the time.
Marvin is one of the very few entertainers that when he was killed I felt like I had lost someone very close to me and it hurt me deeply. I still miss him even today. I believe he is happier where he is today singing beautiful music to God.
THE best Marvin tribute video. The way the video is edited to this song is perfect. The overhead shot of him at the piano, playing darts, those 70's sunglasses with the city in the background, all of it. Fantastic. I only wish it was longer.
marvin is unequivoically the damn BEST ever. So cool and a natural! Marv is not even trying. If you have ever had any sad feelings; then you know where he is coming from.
@ttdean That was Marvin's father he was hugging at the end, the very same man who took his life in 84 when Marvin tried to defend his mother during an arguement that turned violent. A very sad day in history because we lost a very soulful and beautiful brother that day....
@Mrnightwing21 Wow! That's Marvins father?!! I will never forget that day. April 1,1984. What a great lost, but we still have his music and that will never die.
@Mrnightwing21 ..possibly the most beautiful human being to grace this Planet. To sing like this one has to go deep within...this feeling comes from the soul. Nobody can copy it.
jesus christ,my parents,my loved ones,the dallas cowboys, & marvin gaye. as a 44 year old cat, i must say the same thing my mom & dad said when i was younger....marvin gaye is the greatest singer of all times. damn i miss this cat's great voice.a true legend in the music industry.
As an 18 year old muslim i have to say marvin gaye has given me alot of hope and happiness. but the saddest thing is that he had to die so early R.I.P
many continued thanks & love to ALL who have watched & continue to watch - in the spirit of love and MARVIN's memory LOVE EACH OTHER - love God & fight for your dreams. - Karl Kingson
@oddballnumberone thank YOU so very much again for putting this 2gether...i've watched it countless times, n even though this was before my time (i'm 26) it always strikes a chord... love & happiness from Australia :)
Wow, if I should die tonight....this song is so beautiful. Marvin's telling us that he knows what it fells like to feel your world stand still and many never will.... He says that his blessings outweigh all the negative things....Maaan!
@keltonkng Actually it was written by Ed Townsend along with Marvin BUT he actually didn't feel comfortable with singing a song about his own mortality but did it anyways. In a lot of ways though, art and life mixed quite well as this song can be taken as Marvin singing to the woman in his life and his fans. Oh I agree he had Tammi in mind. I think he really loved her despite his denials.
In terms of actual ruminations on mortality I like "dream of a lifetime" better thematically. I
This was an EXCELLENT stageplay with an AMAZING cast. Keith Washington was simply marvelous!!! I saw it twice when it came to Philadelphia 2 years ago. I took my parents and my aunt. They really appreciated it. My mom and her sisters(5 total) would go 2 the Uptown Theatre 2 c The Motown Review. O what stories they tell me! It's great! I miss not having been born in the era..."the good ole days". R.I.P. Marvin, Tammi and all of the Motown greats!
this was really beautiful..i pray that the Lord would touch every soul that watches this with a desire to HIM better wether u do or not, i pray we can receive this as a gift to see the gift in life. Godbless
Next to "What's Going On", which was one of the most significantly socially conscious albums/messages of our time, I think Marvin, with "Let's Get It On", really opened the door to expressing sensuality, even though Isaac Hayes introduced it prior to Marvin. Marv was a true trailblazer. We were blessed to have him. He left such a significant impact in music today, that will definitely go down in history.
this video made me tear up a little bit. i dont think ive ever seen anyone else enjoy their passion so much. it would have been infinitely amazing to know this man, marvin gaye. amazing.
Somebody up there does love you marvin and also millions of us you left behind,you left us the greatest gift you could,your love through your music and one day we will again be able to tell you we love you again..
whenever im in trouble marvin your songs give me the answer,sleep in heavenly peace marvin xx
@MrTrueseventh - yeah, i agree. I'm just not a jazz fan. But there is still a lot of deep country music, even though i'm not a fan of country music. Some of that music touches that soul- songs like "I believe" by Brooks and Dun, "Temporary Home" by Carrie underwood, and many others. Beautiful music. But R&B, hip hop, and pop have all lost their way. So much garbage out there now...
@mrjtjt ; To my ears a lot of the music made today doesn't have the artistry of this Marvin era ; I don't listen to pop music at all these days ( I'm a 50 yr old white Australian jazz musician , so I can only speak from my experience) but there are certainly still a lot of black artists in Jazz that are very high calibre , artful , unique , amazing musicians.

In Jesus Name, Lets STAY ready, for we know NOT when.....Lord THANK you for delivering me and putting a NEW song in my mouth....Thank you for letting Brother. Marvin minister to us......
you couldnt be so wrong mrjtjt, you werent envied, most people were poor growing up back then, when black people first intergrated here in the uk they brought there sweet music, and dressed in a respectful way, but the bad blacks outway the good ones, people dont just hate the man for his colour, people hate the man for what he does, and most blacks ruin things because there trying to be black rather than a person and dont want to fit in, that why blacks have struggled for so long.
we all died a little the day you passed away Marvin ...your memory and music is in our hearts forever Peace Love and Smiles wherever you may be

IF HE HAD MARRIED TAMMI HE NEVER WOULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS SONG!
keltonkng 1 year ago
@keltonkng Actually it was written by Ed Townsend along with Marvin BUT he actually didn't feel comfortable with singing a song about his own mortality but did it anyways. In a lot of ways though, art and life mixed quite well as this song can be taken as Marvin singing to the woman in his life and his fans. Oh I agree he had Tammi in mind. I think he really loved her despite his denials.
In terms of actual ruminations on mortality I like "dream of a lifetime" better thematically. I

This was an EXCELLENT stageplay with an AMAZING cast. Keith Washington was simply marvelous!!! I saw it twice when it came to Philadelphia 2 years ago. I took my parents and my aunt. They really appreciated it. My mom and her sisters(5 total) would go 2 the Uptown Theatre 2 c The Motown Review. O what stories they tell me! It's great! I miss not having been born in the era..."the good ole days". R.I.P. Marvin, Tammi and all of the Motown greats!

Next to "What's Going On", which was one of the most significantly socially conscious albums/messages of our time, I think Marvin, with "Let's Get It On", really opened the door to expressing sensuality, even though Isaac Hayes introduced it prior to Marvin. Marv was a true trailblazer. We were blessed to have him. He left such a significant impact in music today, that will definitely go down in history.

@MrTrueseventh - yeah, i agree. I'm just not a jazz fan. But there is still a lot of deep country music, even though i'm not a fan of country music. Some of that music touches that soul- songs like "I believe" by Brooks and Dun, "Temporary Home" by Carrie underwood, and many others. Beautiful music. But R&B, hip hop, and pop have all lost their way. So much garbage out there now...

@mrjtjt ; To my ears a lot of the music made today doesn't have the artistry of this Marvin era ; I don't listen to pop music at all these days ( I'm a 50 yr old white Australian jazz musician , so I can only speak from my experience) but there are certainly still a lot of black artists in Jazz that are very high calibre , artful , unique , amazing musicians.

you couldnt be so wrong mrjtjt, you werent envied, most people were poor growing up back then, when black people first intergrated here in the uk they brought there sweet music, and dressed in a respectful way, but the bad blacks outway the good ones, people dont just hate the man for his colour, people hate the man for what he does, and most blacks ruin things because there trying to be black rather than a person and dont want to fit in, that why blacks have struggled for so long.
