Urban strife genre7/3/2023 ![]() At one point near the end of his career, the Washington, D.C. He pushed all the right buttons to the audience and his approach to art, but like most artists who are imbued with that extra special sincerity like he was, Gaye was also a tortured soul, one who needed the same kind of metaphorical spiritual tourniquet he gave his listeners. Marvin Gaye’s pure honey-like voice, demeanor, and approach flowed like gold from a miller’s spinning wheel. No one, with the possible exception of Otis Redding, was able to do it the way Marvin did. After all, music is supposed to be about pure joy, whether it’s a cowboy warbling about getting jilted at the altar or the biggest, most intimidating metal head shredding his guitar and screaming about the bad breaks in life, and all in between, the end result of music and its main purpose, is to instill some sort of contentment in the listener, body, mind, and soul. To watch film of him performing live is like watching electricity being invented for the first time, it’s a kind of magic that intertwines into the rainbow colored ether with a pure joy. They remain songs of personal universality to coin a sort of oxymoron, but it’s true there’s something global yet highly individual about what the songs of Marvin Gaye do to people, how they are affected by him. His songs were about themes like unrequited love, solidified love, sexual wanton and attraction, solitary madness, political and urban strife they run the gamut and are songs that have become some of not only Motown’s most memorable, but in the entire music spectrum as well (“How Sweet It Is,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” “Let’s Get it On,” “Got to Give It Up,” “Sexual Healing.”). Like a John Lennon in many ways, Gaye was never afraid to express himself wholeheartedly in his public guise, with his creative visions and his fearless confidence, which like Lennon, sometimes required all too unhealthy by-products to keep help manifesting that vision (drugs, etc.), but ultimately still became globally revered as a figurehead in his respective genres. With electricity as a stage performer on par with the likes of James Brown and Michael Jackson, a consummate word and songsmith who penned and produced opposite spectrums of sound like the seminal urban awareness musical masterpiece “What’s Going On,” to being an absolute aural lothario and sexmeister with “Let’s Get it On,” the sheer power of the creative arcs of Marvin Gaye have stood the test of time and even broke new ground and shattered previous sonic conventions. At the time of his death, Gaye was in the midst of a serious comeback, as his career had stutter stepped for the past few years prior. And the rebel Army garrison will keep the world safe from zombies, nomads, criminals, cultists and everyone else who isn’t up to date with the protection money.Marvin Gaye, one of the biggest stars to come out of Motown Records, and who became one of the biggest R&B performers in American history, was shot killed by his father 30 years ago today, one day before his 45th birthday.
