PhotoSynthesis: Marvin Gaye

Previous | Next

Los Angeles, 1982: It was the last major photo shoot that [Marvin Gaye] did before he died. You can see that his clothes were slightly too big for him. He seemed very humbled, almost apologetic about his appearance, but he stressed that he needed to look handsome for all the ladies. He also didn't want me to start shooting until he could find something he was looking for -- he was convinced there was a roach -- or even possibly a whole joint! -- somewhere in the apartment, especially in the couch. He never did find it, but we must have spent 45 minutes looking for a joint that I'm not sure was ever really there.

I just have a simple question for those on this blog who have negative comments about these people: Are any of you perfect? If you were, you wouldn't be here on the face of the earth. He who lives in glass houses, cast the first stone.

Jossy.....You are so pathetically negative. You even have something bad to say about Marvin Gaye which is "unbelievable" to me. You are one of those people that does nothing but absorbs negativity and then spreads it. You are exactly like a disease. You and people like you are what is destroying society and nations. I pray to God that there is a vaccine to cure all of the negative people like you on this planet and then we will be able to bask in all of the beauty and not see the ugly. People like you truly are the Disease!!!

I SAW A PROGRAM ABOUT HIM ON DIRECT TV'S BIOGRAPHY AND WAS ABHORED WHEN THEY SAID HE WAS INTO DRUGS SO MUCH THAT HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF. MORE TRAGICALLY, HIS FATHER DID HIM THE FAVOR, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT. SHAME THAT NOBODY LOVED HIM ENOUGH TO GET HIM AWAY AND SEEK HELP. ANOTHER GREAT ONE BIT THE DUST. SOB.

I grew up listening to Marvin before I was even old enough to know what the lyrics really meant. Marvin, Barry White, Al Green. Most kids today don't know what music really is!!
