@katofromgreenhornet I think Marvin had a death wish. He know that his father would kill him if he ever hit him. This is the one thing a black parent would not tolerate back in the day. Bless both their souls. Father Gaye robbed so many of us that day!!

RIP Marvin Gaye.... 27 years today since you left this world yet u're still remembered fondly.... Its amazing that i wasn't even born when you died, yet i i know of you and ur music.... i guess u're that good. Here's to celebrating your 72nd birthday as an angel!!!!
The media doesn't report the entire truth regarding Marvin's death. His father was physically beaten by a drugged out Marvin shortly before his death. In the ensuing murder trial, Marvin's father ended up serving only 5 years for involuntary manslaughter. Marvin was a brilliant singer but also led a troubled life toward the end.
He died from a gun shot wound delivered by his father who reported being afraid of the heavily addicted Marvin. However, there was an on-going tension between the two. Marvin being a young man and his father a church going, cross dressing strict disciplinarian. There was a play that one of his siblings put out called ""My Brother Marvin, but it has yet to come to film. He was killed on April 1st, I willnever forget the day, like MJ it was like losing a family member.
A master genius was taken away from this world way too soon. It is soo sad that Marvin's troubled life contributed to his demise, but his evil father made this giant fall, and hopefully his father's soul will never rest in peace. Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder has seen many fellow Motown artists leave this world. Smokey said that he has been to more funerals that he care to remember. Miss you Marvin... How sweet it was to be sung to by you..
I think this was a tragedy on so many levels. What a wonderful voice and talent. We have lost so many true R&B or Soul artists within the last 20 years.
you know i'm always wondering how will todays artist be remembered? please people i'm not hating on anyone, but some of the music being produced today is pure garbage, especially in rap & some of the r&b. the garbage they talk about has no substance,love,soul,passion,or creativity. at 44 yrs. old i grew up on M.G. through my parents & it has never ended. my point is what can you say good about, not all, but some of todays artist at their funerals,about their music like people talk about mg music
@str8outtatexas1 I totally agree with you. I am 40 and I have always played early 90's, 80's, 70's & 60's music for my two teens since they were in the womb. They still like some of the crap they make today, but on any given day, my 12 yr old dtr or my 15 yr old son will get on You Tube and listen to the Temptations, Chante Moore, Anita Baker, Earth, Wind and Fire etc. My daughter actually admitted to me that older music is better than today's music which really surprised me.
@louij3 Remember this my friend, they are many of us that will remember Stevie when he passes on. Let's be greatfull that he's still here. Someone wil take on his torch of planting seeds of love.
@Fantagurlful Me too. I like The Beatles too, but I can get tired of them. I never knew Marvin, but imagine that he was a wonderful being. May he rest in peace.
FYI, NONA stars with Ice Cube in the movie "xXx: State of the Union." She did not make a triple X movie with Ice Cube as you imply, or anyone else for that matter. Check it out, yourself!

@THOUSANDAlRE Don't 4get about Rick James,they were close & even worked together,Stevie Wonder also sung @ Rick's funeral as well. I idolize & call only Stevie Wonder & Rick James my heros. Also don't 4get about the late great Minnie Riperton. In fact outside of her immediate family,only Stevie was allowed at her death bed in the hospital.
@THOUSANDAlRE: I agree. You know something... I can no longer listen to the songs he sang @ MJ's funeral. Every time I do, I break down into tears... I just can't do it.
who cares about his casket? do you think his friends,family & fans were thinking of something like that a such a tragic time like this? no. they most definitly werent. so keep your childish comments to yourself pal. how old are you? posting dumb comments like this only shows what your mentality is like. dont be so disrespectful.. if it werent for him & all the other singers that made such classic love songs your mother wouldnt of been in the mood to take a dickin' from your father. pay homage.

The guys name is "Undertaker". He works in a funeral home. What he says makes sense, If you have ever had to go pick out a casket for a loved one. The first thing that comes up is money. Different caskets have different quality. Its a tough decision. Speak only if you know what you are talking about. We live in a real world with real world decisions. Spamtard. Now, perceive the day you have to bury a loved ones, or they have to bury you. Are you going to go with a wooden box or stainless steal?

They were thinking about what casket he should be buried in. After the funeral director figures out who died and what the obituary should say, the next thing they do is walk you into a "display" room to pick out a casket. Money you have to spend and the quality of the casket both come into play. We weep your tears because this man is gone, that's good stuff, but they ask the family what casket should we put him in? Do you want wood, sheet metal, or stainless? What does your family want? Spamtard
i rememba whn this happened i was getn off work and it kame ova da radio and said marvin gaye has been shot dead it felt like i was jus falling from tha sky thats how lite i felt i cldnt believe wat i jus had heard and i rememba crying sobbing like a baby jus cldnt believe it i was hoping it was an april fool's joke until i heard them announce who da killer was then realized dat it cldnt be a joke by them sayn he was killed by his father how i hated him sooo much..I love you marvin..Ms.G #1 fan!
VERY HARD 2 WATCH. I didn't watch it cuz I've seen it a few times. I just wanted 2 wish Marvin a Happy Birthday. This soul man would've been 70. I LOVE this man SO MUCH,its not even funny. I MISS u Baby. I'll ALWAYS be your #1 FAN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. (:
I remember that day very well. My dad woke me up to tell me and I thought that he was playing an April Fools joke. What a beautiful and talented man. He is still missed.
We will never forget you Marvin Pentz Gaye 1939-1984. 25 years today God called you home another, one of our Griots sent to sing in Gods Choir. I don't think there will ever be another "King of Soul", like our still living Queen Aretha you were an irreplacible part of our lives.
We're thinking about you today Brother Marvin on the 25th anniversery of our lost.
Blessings to his family, friends and many many fans who share this same void today.
I remember I was 17 years old. It was a Sunday around 7pm est that I was getting dressed about to go on a date with this fine guy (can't remember his name) and it came across on the radio. Wow!! I remember everything but that guys name.
It was a domestic dispute and Marvin came after his dad while his dad had a gun. I believe alcohol might have been involved, and with Marvin's mental state at the time he might have been wanting to be shot. Things often happen in the heat of the moment sometimes that seem incomprehensible later on.
he died cuz of his dad thn his dad died of a tumour n thn his mum died of bone cancer how sad is tht. R.I.P Marvin ur the best eva nobody can replace u
I've heard that a tumor in the brain can bring about crazy actions and a crazy personality. Perhaps that was what happened to his dad when he was shot.
While it's possible that could've been a factor, Marvin and his dad's relationship was rocky for a long time. His dad always had it out for Marvin. His dad even said one time something like "if he ever touches me I'm gonna kill him." So to borrow Arnold, "It's not a tumah!"
his evil wicked father killed his own son.that bastard is burnin in hell.GOD is not happy with that wicked devil..callin himself a preacher..hes waz apreacher with the devil...hope to see u soon brother marvin
His dad shot him during an arguement over buisines. Apparently his mother and father were argueing over lost documents and when Marvin intervened his dad shot him. His dad didnt go to prison because of ill health. I think he should have had the death penalty for robbing the world of such a talented human being.
Why are Americans always talking about death penalty? I admire Americans who don't want death penalty, even if they have enough reasons wanting to, like Chubby Tavares, whose son was killed in 2002! Btw: he's a great Marvin Gaye-fan!
Yeah how sad the way this family life turned out. Poor lady she loses a son by the hands of her husband. Then the husband dies of a brain tumor. Anyone knows if she is still living? That's enough heartache and stress for anyone to stop breathing.
to all of you who talked about what marvin did or what his father did. these are the facts, Marvin is dead. His farther was convicted of killing him. when a person is in the house with a corps, remember the police and coroner decide what occured. I was there (at a death) and what was decided was not what actually happened. I beleive thr cops did the best that they could based on the evidence. So I beleive marvins mother knows the whole truth, but no one else but GOD.
Before his 45th birthday, Gaye's father shot and killed him after an argument that had started after his parents argued over misplaced business documents. Ironically, Gaye was killed by a gun he had offered to his father. Marvin Sr. was sentenced to six years of probation after pleading guilty to manslaughter. Charges of first-degree murder were dropped after doctors discovered Marvin Sr. had a brain tumor. Spending his final years in a retirement home, he died of pneumonia in 1998.

I wouldn't give a fat baby ass if I was a minister and my son kick my ass. He better kill me. When you kick you daddy ass where is the damn respect now. You reap what you sow. If anyone should have been thinking it should have been Marvin, not his Father. You gotta do what you gotta do.Anyone of you on this page go home and kick your daddy ass and see if he don't have some shit for you.
Autopsy on his father revealed that his dad had a tumor on the brain that may have affected his behavior. He and Marvin never got along, and it was said that Marvin beat him up before he shot him to death.
such a tragedy when someone so talented as he has to die in such a trouble way. I can't believe that a father would kill their own son their flesh and blood. He must be out of his mind insane. Such a shame. I think Marvin Gaye is awesome and whatever song he sings I like them all. Doesn't matter what cause he makes it sexy and sounds great
it was the drugs, i heard marvin senior had gotten hard into cocaine. that'll do things like this to otherwise decent people. and it takes alot for a minister to shoot his own son.
He is a minister. He is suppose to be an example to his congregation? I don't care what he's on. He is a minister for god sakes. What good is all the preachings if he is like this? you think people will listen to him? Hell NO! what kind of minister is that? taking drugs and shooting his own son? there's NO EXCUSE for it. I'm sorry. He is a poor excuse for a minister. He should rot in hell for all eternity.
It's ashame his own father killed him and got away with it after pleading insanity.He wasn't bit more insane than a fish can swim, he knew what he was doing when he shot his own son.
Trust me, He knew what he was doing. I just saw the biography of Marvin. Is father always beat him since a child and dressed up like a woman at the same time. Marvin got picked on because of that.
Marvin was a great man that fell into the addiction trap that Elvis and other greats fell into. When I heard the details of how he died I felt terrible for his Dad and family. I wish things would have been different and we would have had many more years of this incredibly talented man.
oh i remember that day...it was a sunday...i think in 1980. 8th grade. wow. my family and i were outside in the backyard. it was a beautiful day and here comes the report on the radio. shocking. i did not appreciate him the way that i do now. i like some of today's soul music but marvin...awesome.
I also remember it like it was yesterday. I heard it on the radio too and was thinking it was a stupid April fools joke. I was about 13 at the time and always remember hom my mom loved him so much. After his death I remember reading his autobiography he had written before his death and I've been a great fan ever since. His music was so personal and true to the heart. He will forever be one of those guys that will never be duplicated...purely original.
Marvin Gaye Jr (the singer) father who killed him been dead for many many years he died in 1998.His mom died a few years after Marvin in 1987 due to cancer, Marvins Lookalike brother Frankie Gaye died in 2001 he wrote a book about Marvin just before he died. This is a very sad story about the Gayes!!!!!Rest in Peace Marvin, Mom, & Frankie.

I tried emulate his music earlier in my life.
This brother was so sensual…
His Music did provide sexual healing for many of us during lovemaking
The first time I made love, “I want You” was playing on my cassette deck.
His music helped me, and HEALED during some very trying times……
These songs are dedicated to Nicci. Girl you were my first love
I think of you often….Thank You for allowing me in your life

We will never forget you Marvin Pentz Gaye 1939-1984. 25 years today God called you home another, one of our Griots sent to sing in Gods Choir. I don't think there will ever be another "King of Soul", like our still living Queen Aretha you were an irreplacible part of our lives.

Well said Newsoul.
We're thinking about you today Brother Marvin on the 25th anniversery of our lost.
Blessings to his family, friends and many many fans who share this same void today.
I remember I was 17 years old. It was a Sunday around 7pm est that I was getting dressed about to go on a date with this fine guy (can't remember his name) and it came across on the radio. Wow!! I remember everything but that guys name.

How ca someone kill their own son thats something i dont understand
jazzlady40 3 years ago
It was a domestic dispute and Marvin came after his dad while his dad had a gun. I believe alcohol might have been involved, and with Marvin's mental state at the time he might have been wanting to be shot. Things often happen in the heat of the moment sometimes that seem incomprehensible later on.

he died cuz of his dad thn his dad died of a tumour n thn his mum died of bone cancer how sad is tht. R.I.P Marvin ur the best eva nobody can replace u
SexxiBbz101 3 years ago
I've heard that a tumor in the brain can bring about crazy actions and a crazy personality. Perhaps that was what happened to his dad when he was shot.
Lilbeargirl 3 years ago
While it's possible that could've been a factor, Marvin and his dad's relationship was rocky for a long time. His dad always had it out for Marvin. His dad even said one time something like "if he ever touches me I'm gonna kill him." So to borrow Arnold, "It's not a tumah!"

His dad shot him during an arguement over buisines. Apparently his mother and father were argueing over lost documents and when Marvin intervened his dad shot him. His dad didnt go to prison because of ill health. I think he should have had the death penalty for robbing the world of such a talented human being.
sdrocerpraw 3 years ago
Why are Americans always talking about death penalty? I admire Americans who don't want death penalty, even if they have enough reasons wanting to, like Chubby Tavares, whose son was killed in 2002! Btw: he's a great Marvin Gaye-fan!

Yeah how sad the way this family life turned out. Poor lady she loses a son by the hands of her husband. Then the husband dies of a brain tumor. Anyone knows if she is still living? That's enough heartache and stress for anyone to stop breathing.
pldsavage 3 years ago
to all of you who talked about what marvin did or what his father did. these are the facts, Marvin is dead. His farther was convicted of killing him. when a person is in the house with a corps, remember the police and coroner decide what occured. I was there (at a death) and what was decided was not what actually happened. I beleive thr cops did the best that they could based on the evidence. So I beleive marvins mother knows the whole truth, but no one else but GOD.
aboutmuny 3 years ago
Before his 45th birthday, Gaye's father shot and killed him after an argument that had started after his parents argued over misplaced business documents. Ironically, Gaye was killed by a gun he had offered to his father. Marvin Sr. was sentenced to six years of probation after pleading guilty to manslaughter. Charges of first-degree murder were dropped after doctors discovered Marvin Sr. had a brain tumor. Spending his final years in a retirement home, he died of pneumonia in 1998.

I wouldn't give a fat baby ass if I was a minister and my son kick my ass. He better kill me. When you kick you daddy ass where is the damn respect now. You reap what you sow. If anyone should have been thinking it should have been Marvin, not his Father. You gotta do what you gotta do.Anyone of you on this page go home and kick your daddy ass and see if he don't have some shit for you.

Autopsy on his father revealed that his dad had a tumor on the brain that may have affected his behavior. He and Marvin never got along, and it was said that Marvin beat him up before he shot him to death.

such a tragedy when someone so talented as he has to die in such a trouble way. I can't believe that a father would kill their own son their flesh and blood. He must be out of his mind insane. Such a shame. I think Marvin Gaye is awesome and whatever song he sings I like them all. Doesn't matter what cause he makes it sexy and sounds great
chonster123 3 years ago 4
it was the drugs, i heard marvin senior had gotten hard into cocaine. that'll do things like this to otherwise decent people. and it takes alot for a minister to shoot his own son.

He is a minister. He is suppose to be an example to his congregation? I don't care what he's on. He is a minister for god sakes. What good is all the preachings if he is like this? you think people will listen to him? Hell NO! what kind of minister is that? taking drugs and shooting his own son? there's NO EXCUSE for it. I'm sorry. He is a poor excuse for a minister. He should rot in hell for all eternity.

Marvin was a great man that fell into the addiction trap that Elvis and other greats fell into. When I heard the details of how he died I felt terrible for his Dad and family. I wish things would have been different and we would have had many more years of this incredibly talented man.

I also remember it like it was yesterday. I heard it on the radio too and was thinking it was a stupid April fools joke. I was about 13 at the time and always remember hom my mom loved him so much. After his death I remember reading his autobiography he had written before his death and I've been a great fan ever since. His music was so personal and true to the heart. He will forever be one of those guys that will never be duplicated...purely original.

Marvin Gaye Jr (the singer) father who killed him been dead for many many years he died in 1998.His mom died a few years after Marvin in 1987 due to cancer, Marvins Lookalike brother Frankie Gaye died in 2001 he wrote a book about Marvin just before he died. This is a very sad story about the Gayes!!!!!Rest in Peace Marvin, Mom, & Frankie.
