Hi friends, in this episode I get myself ready to dive into the upcoming episodes with you! I cover my thoughts on so many elements in Marvin Gaye's life and career that take place right on the threshold of our turning-point with him, in our continued journey with him and his music.   The album "What's Going On" is nothing less than Marvin Gaye's groundbreaking, opening-up of the floodgates for his artistic vision.  And finally unleashing his full musical gift upon us. For us, it is the experience of, for the first time in his 10+ years' career (at that point), hearing music that is ALL Marvin Gaye.  Literally, hearing Marvin Gaye's speaking voice in music, hearing the SOUND of what must have been a constant, all-day-long symphony going on inside of his head.  Hearing what it is, that if Marvin Gaye had the FULL grip on the reigns of his music, this is: WHAT'S GOING ON inside of this musical genius!! That for the first time; THE TIME HAD COME, for him to pour out of himself his pure and angelic message!  Join me as we get strapped in to go deep into the sound of this masterpiece! And just a little disclaimer, I get so amped up, there are several f-bombs dropped in this one, so just a head's up. Please visit our PInterest page which is full of some very hard and fun work I'm putting in to capture all of the beautiful and relevant imagery I can find, of our revered subject: Marvin Gaye.  It really is my goal for you to be able to see (and hear, via many videos I'm finding) for yourself, relevant references I make in these episodes. I've got 1000+ pictures a videos of rare television and concert performances, documentaries, and even the one and only MOVIE that Marvin Gaye made!!
