  • Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. , better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye, (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an American singer-songwriter and instrumentalist with a three-octave vocal range. Starting as a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows in the late fifties, he ventured into a solo career after the group disbanded in 1960 signing with the Tamla subsidiary of Motown Records. After starting off as a session drummer, Gaye ranked as the label's top-selling solo artist during the sixties. Due to solo hits including "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and his duet singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, he was crowned "The Prince of Motown" and "The Prince of Soul". Notable for fighting the hit-making but restrictive Motown process in which performers and songwriters and producers were kept separate, Gaye proved with albums like his 1971 What's Going On and his 1973 Let's Get It On that he was able to produce music without relying on the system, inspiring fellow Motown artists such as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to do the same. His mid-1970s work including the Let's Get It On and I Want You albums helped influence the quiet storm, urban adult contemporary and slow jam genres. After a self-imposed European exile in the late seventies, Gaye returned on the 1982 Grammy-winning hit, "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album before his death. Gaye was shot dead by his father on April 1, 1984. He was posthumously inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. In 2008, the American music magazine Rolling Stone ranked Gaye #6 on its list of The Greatest Singers of All Time, and ranked #18 on 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

  • Marvin Gaye était un chanteur de soul américain né le 2 avril 1939 à Washington, D.C. et mort le 1 avril 1984 à Los Angeles.
  • Gaye nacque a Washington, D.C. col vero nome di Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. , ma successivamente aggiunse la "e" al suo cognome sia per stroncare le prese in giro sia per apparire più professionale (si pensi ad esempio anche all'aggiunta della "e" di Sam Cooke . ) Suo padre, Marvin Gay senior, era catechista della Church of God, una piccolo gruppo distaccato della confessione religiosa degli Avventisti del Settimo Giorno. Tale setta, prendendo in prestito alcuni elementi dalla comunità cattolica ed altri da quella anglicana e ortodossa ha codici di condotta molto rigidi e non è prevista la celebrazione di alcuna festività. Gaye iniziò a cantare nel coro di tale chiesa, prese lezioni di piano e percussioni per fuggire agli abusi psicologici messi in atto dal padre. Dopo la scuola superiore, Gaye si arruolò nella United States Air Force, l'Aeronautica militare, e poi, dopo essere stato congedato, si unì a diversi gruppi di doo wop, fino ad arrivare ai The Marquees, un gruppo molto conosciuto a Washington D.C. Con Bo Diddley, i Marquees realizzarono un singolo, Wyatt Earp, nel 1958 con la Okeh Records e furono reclutati da Harvey Fuqua diventando poi così i The Moonglows. Mama Loocie, il singolo realizzato nel 1959 con la Chess Records, fu il primo singolo di Gaye con i Moonglows. Dopo un concerto a Detroit, Gaye fu scritturato per una carriera da solista da Berry Gordy, della Motown Records.

  • Marvin Gaye - amerykański piosenkarz popowy. Jeden z najwybitniejszych przedstawicieli Motown, który ostatecznie wyrósł daleko poza normalny standard tej grupy twórczej i jako jeden z pierwszych osiągnął status czarnego muzyka kultowego. W swym społeczno-politycznym zaangażowaniu i muzycznych eksperymentach dał podwaliny pod styl czarnej muzyki urban. W 1987 Marvin Gaye został wprowadzony do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  • Marvin Gaye, nascido Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. , foi um cantor popular de soul e R&B, arranjador, multiinstrumentista, compositor e produtor. Ganhou fama internacional durante os anos 60 e 70 como um artista da gravadora Motown. O início da carreira do cantor foi em 1961, na Motown, onde Gaye rapidamente se tornaria o principal cantor da gravadora e emplacaria numerosos sucessos durante os anos sessenta, entre eles "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" e vários duetos com Tammi Terrell, incluindo "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" e "You're All I Need to Get By", antes de mudar sua própria forma de se expressar musicalmente. Gaye é importante por sua luta por produzir seus sucessos, mas criativamente restritivo - no processo de gravação da Motown, intérpretes, compositores e produtores eram geralmente mantidos em áreas separadas. Com seu bem-sucedido álbum What's Going On, de 1971, e outros lançamentos subseqüentes - includindo Trouble Man, de 1972, e Let's Get It On, de 1973, Gaye, que vez ou outra compunha canções para artistas da Motown no início da sua carreira, provou também que poderia tanto escrever quanto produzir seus próprios discos sem ter de confiar no sistema da Motown. Ele é também conhecido por seu ambientalismo, talvez mais evidente na canção "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)". Durante os anos setenta, Gaye lançaria outros notáveis álbuns, includindo Let's Get It On e I Want You, além de ter emplacado vários sucessos, como "Let's Get It On" e "Got to Give It Up". Já no começo dos anos oitenta, seria a vez do hit "Sexual Healing", que lhe rendeu - antes de sua morte - dois prêmios Grammy. Até o momento de ser assassinado pelo seu pai, em 1984, Gaye tinha se tornado um dos mais influentes artistas da cena soul. Em 1996, Gaye foi homenageado na 38º cerimônia do Grammy Awards. A carreira de Marvin tem sido descrita como uma das que "abarcam toda a história do R&B, do doo-wop dos anos cinqüenta ao soul contemporâneo dos anos oitenta. " Críticos têm também afirmado que a produção musical de Gaye "significou o desenvolvimento da black music a partir do rhythm'n blues, através de um sofisticado soul de consciência política nos anos setenta e de uma abordagem maior em assuntos de cunho pessoal e sexual."

  • Марвин Пенц Гэй младший — американский певец, аранжировщик, музыкант-мультиинструменталист, автор песен и музыкальный продюсер, наряду со Стиви Уандером стоявший у истоков современного ритм-энд-блюза. Погиб во время семейной ссоры от руки отца за день до своего сорокапятилетия. При создании Зала славы рок-н-ролла (1987) в нём было увековечено и имя Марвина Гэя. Прозванный «князем Мотауна», Гэй эволюционировал от лёгкого мотауновского ритм-энд-блюза к изысканному соулу альбомов «What's Going On» (1971) и «Let’s Get It On» (1973), которые считаются его шедеврами. В числе первых он превратил ритм-энд-блюз из лёгкого развлекательного жанра в способ художественного самовыражения, позволявший ему доносить личную боль и политические взгляды до миллионов слушателей.

  • ''I Want You'' is unmistakably a work of romantic and erotic tribute to the woman he deeply loved and would marry shortly, Janis Hunter . Gaye's obsession with the woman in her late teens is nearly palpable in the sensual textures that are the album's aural and lyrical signature. Their relationship was relentlessly passionate and emotionally rough-hewn; they played up each other's strengths, and played off each other's weaknesses.
