She deserves to express in any way she chooses. She was one of Marvin's BIGGEST inspirations she should reap the rewards from whatever she writes.
Allen Diggsu
god was his inspiration too
Jan Gaye is real cool. I like how she doesn't throw Marvin under the bus by exploiting his faults and addictive behavior. She is still protective of him. Nice.
Abdus Luqman she doesn’t have any room to throw MG understand the bus concerning drugs heck she was a druggie herself.
OF Course she is protective of MG..She LOVES him and Loved him always will..Has his Children..Cool Abdus YOU 2.
She’s also the mother of his children! ❤
she has a nice aura about. very soft spoken and kind.
Nona looks just like Marvin and sounds like Jan when she speaks. God bless them.
I agree, I was just thinking that !
I always thought Nona looked like Teddy.
She a mix of both to me
@@christinagraham2915 Nona was and still is a beautiful lady. Get it boo. 😍
@@leilanidupree5922 Cool
If you are a Marvin Gaye fan you would love this book. She put you right in front of him in her book. Made you feel like you were in the room at all times. You disliked the way that he treated her but you still admired him because he was such a free spirit and rather intelligent. If you asked her she would tell you that she would do it all over again if she had the chance.
Wat an idiot
@@j4kgang921 😂
I love Jan book it's very enjoyable 👍
I need to read this book 📖
I bet she would.
Heavenly blessings to you Janis. RIP
I bought and read the book. It gave a lot of insight into their tumultuous relationship
I've also read the book. It gives the reader an insight and understanding of the "troubled man'
Janice is so down to earth and genuine in this interview. What a wonderful persona
Vee Mania
totally agree that's my perception
Jan is a beautiful woman in and out , I salute her.
....oh and by the way she just battled cancer and won 2yrs ago, she's a champ in my estimation
kyle morton don't left this fake bitch fool you.......
kyle morton
Yeah, Tammy! I had breast cancer also a few years ago and it wasn't the best time of my life, but it was tolerable because I had people who deeply love me to get me through it and to give me hope, even the hair loss giving me the proverbial "chrome dome" because I'm a girl. Imagine what Marvin and Tammy would be doing in today's world...
How was she a fake bitch? Please elaborate. I'm just curious. I have no dog in this fight so to speak, just want info. Thanks!
tessamersus. She's not fake to me but she could be. I don't know her. She looks good for someone of her age and all the damaged she done to her body and mind.
"Janice is my girl, in all the world.. there's no one sweeter.. and when She goes to sleep I kiss her face and think I'm the luckiest man in all the world" Marvin Gaye.. I personally cant get beyond this song since I first heard it 1976 or so..
Quite a long time since your comment, but what song were these words used? Cheers x
I always thought that he was in love with Tammy. I knew also saw how he changed when she died.
Beautiful,he found someone to love again.
I remember how happy I was for him when I heard this song. After Tammi died was rough! You could feel thelove in this song!
@@florashorter7888 I think he was, also but she died and life went on.
Beautiful then and still beautiful now❤️🖤
I was a fan of Marvin Gaye . . . as well a contemporary of Jan. And given what I have heard about Marvin, i feel she is telling the truth.
at one point, janis was marvin's muse. it was apparent on the album "I Want You".
People forget Jan was still a teen when Marvin courted her. Imagine being 16/17 and one of the most famous musicians wants you and you become his muse! She was enamoured but far too young to understand what she was getting herself into. After dealing with the much older and assertive Anna Gordy, Marvin seemingly tried to mold an impressionable teen to be his wife. I'm sure he loved her but that didn't stop him from cheating and becoming violent.
Marvin used Jan and she was a willing participant. She wasn’t 17 forever and knew the score
Yes, so true. Kinda reminds of what's going on on today in 2019 with a top entertainer.
Same thing I say about Aaliyah and these other bitches about R. Kelly but y’all call him a pedophile.
Marvin was married to AG she was a lot older than he,then he married Janis much younger,he got to be the shot caller with Jan, Anna was a Gordy, strong and her brother was in control of his music.
@@wendylee7242 ,Wow very well said true. And I've always believed that too. If you noticed he was smitten by Jan Beauty and Youth. He even said her named in one of his songs,during the earlier 1970s. The other songs called You Sure Love To Ball & I want You. Well I believed he was talking about and wanted Jan,just listen to the Lyrics of those Songs. That man Mr.Marvin Gaye was Smitten by Jan. Ana Gordy,knew that she had to eventually let go of Mr.Marvin 🤦🏾♀️
I loved her book. It was very open and honest. I love Marvin's music forever.
Yes absolutely the book is so deep, beautiful and open. Jan’s heart is pure.
She's wonderful!!!!!!!! So articulate, poised, intelligentand overall a beauriful person!!!!!!!!
It's so sad the people who loved him were many but no one could help him😓😓😓😓
Another sad thing is that he included others into craziness. She did not understand life, eventhough she thought she did.
Prince of soul, Marvin was a King!
Marvin is still the man after all these years tammi was Marvin's true love he was never the same after her death ..
Marvin Gaye...A Divided Soul....he said that Tammi and his relationship was not sexual.
His first wife was his muse, then later, his second wife became his muse.
You drank the KoolAid. Marvin would’ve never been with a woman like Tammi.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit Did you know marvin i think not ..
@@christopheranderson6120 Did you?
@@monilaninetynine3811 Ignoring you're stupidty ...
Awesome book! Jan "holding back"? Read the book!!! Then you'll know, she's not "holding back"! She's a very sincere and honest lady, and it took a great deal of courage to write such an honest book about her bittersweet relationship with Marvin.
I think she held back a LOT!
Why did she even write it. For money
Thank you Jan for your honesty and insight into what Marvin was like. He touched the heart of so many millions of people. You were there for him and I respect you for sharing your life with him. Much love to you Jan! ❤
May she rest in paradise and be one with Marvin again. Even though he was toxic, they both were on drugs at the time and both did things that weren’t good but that’s life. Their story is beautiful and Jan is one of the luckiest women in the world for getting such an experience. Much Love to them both❤
I like him and Anna
@@SimplyBeingTT they were just as toxic, if not more, because they were together longer. Marvin was extremely unhappy when he was married to Anna.
@@SUBLIMEGOD He was extremely unhappy with Jan. Marvin was unhappy in general and really needed therapy. However, how happy or good is a relationship when all you do is stay faded and strung out? And he helped her get strung out...and pushed her to sleep with other men. That's not love. Their relationship was built on lust, sex, drugs, and a codependency. And then he didn't want her anymore. You say he was miserable with Anna, but he made sure Anna was by his side in the last year/s of his life.
Huh
@@SimplyBeingTT I read her book and his biography and he always said Jan was the love of his life. Do your research goofy. No relationship is perfect. Their relationship was of it’s time. It was the fucking 70s. Lots of relationships were very open and Influenced by drugs at the time. Doesn’t mean she wasn’t the love of his life.
Thank you, Janis, for being so generous and courageous in sharing your love story with Marvin.
Beautiful and intelligent woman.
My beautiful Auntie!! love seeing this
While listening to this interview I have Marvins album "I want you" playing in background. It all fits together now.
Her voice of life story bravery. His music speaks of her too
He is a good interviewer.
Network news channels should take notes. He does not interrupt her every second. He asks questions and listens as she responds.
How lucky to have had someone like Marvin love you and make you his muse. Too bad the drugs and violence had to intervene.
...and the fact that he was a 33 year old married man.
I'm glad Janice got to tell her story. I hope that she got permission to reveal details of other artists drug use & lifestyle because she really exposed a lot. It's sad that she didn't have the best example of parents, which caused her to begin the process of destroying herself at such a young age and use her body as her gift. I'm super glad that she got cleaned and I pray for healing for her and all their families.
"... use her body as her gift."
That's a nice way of putting it.
I don't think she needed permission to reveal details of others drug use.
Are any of you really shocked, at people using drugs. People amazed me when they think stars are anything more than a human beings.

It wasn't just any other relationship. Jan keeps saying that.. They had an affair while he was still married. He saw a 17 yr old and wanted to bang..you can circumvent all you want. She was actually not considered legal at the time. So when she says it was normal it wasn't.
No..ofcourse it wasn't!!! Why does she sugar coat shit???
In Cali she was
I think it also reflects the time period. In the freewheeling 70s and even decades before, an older man snatching up a child bride want met with the same consternation as today. As for the adultery aspect...yes, that is tawdry, indeed. I'll never forget how she describes Anna Gaye as referring to her as an "it"., and in empathizing with how disrespectfully brazen Marvin and Jan were with living as a couple right in her face, I can't say I blame her.
By the time the 80s came around this was not considered normal, but women and men have been getting married and having kids at 16 and 17 years of age going all the way back to the turn of the century and before
She did her best to normalize a whole immoral mess! He was screwin' & impregnated the 16 year old niece (whichever one of those 16-17 year old children came first) at the same time. Talk about "flaws". Chile, bye!!
she looks Great!
jacqueline2027 And you do too!
Something about this doesn’t sit well with me.. sounds like this lady’s momma pimped her out.. wow😔😔😔😔
You are right. The mother also wanted Marvin.
Her mom did.
She was definitely used😕being exposed to the industry by her family then Marvin!!! All the drugs an freaky partying..Marvin loved her but he had been turned out himself....🤐
MONEY 😐
Definitely
Come Live With Me Angel was the joint!!!
My favorite song of all songs!!
Yes indeed Marvin poured his soul in that entire album
Congrats to her for finishing her book on Marvin !!💗
Great story, Janis is truly a lady. I think many teens her age was in love with Marvin for his good looks and beautiful voice.
Just read the book.. speechless wow two soulmates....love marvins music...
His music still rings in this world!
I have always been obsessed with the relationship between Marvin and Janis.I have always listened to the I Want You album and just knew he was singing every word to her.Her book was amazing.However,I love and respect Anna Gordy-Gaye.
@@christyjackson4835 it doesn't mean that he didn't love her. AND let's not forget how petty he was with, "Here My Dear". Masochistic Beauty is just the pain talking......
Marvin was simply an artist who couldn't come from any other place but one of truth---he was angry AF w/her and that's how he felt at the time. he's said in his other works that if she ever left him that he'd be heartbroken/devastated----i believe that losing her drove him over the edge.....he didn't last much longer past their relationship ending....
@@plmitchyou don't know that. None of us knows any of that shit. We weren't there.
@@christyjackson4835 I said, "I BELIEVE".
@@plmitch girl. Listen. Marvin used Jan. He used her and fell out of love. He fell out of love with life itself because he became an ADDICT and lost his passion to sing and create more music. Read 2 books: My Brother Marvin by his sister Zeola Gaye. And Divided Soul by David Ritz. Marvin beat Jan. He broke her ribs, turned her into an addict, and wanted her to fk other men. She refused to let him see his children in the days before he died and that also hurt him deeply. I have read so much and watched so many documentaries on MG. You are romanticizing his relationship with Jan. They were just people like you and me. Jan accepted my Facebook friend request years ago and we inboxed each other many a time through the years. She told me once that she was like any other woman in an abusive marriage -- that she was a "victim of domestic violence", her exact words. This woman was just a young girl at 17 with a superstar who introduced her to hard drugs, orgies, and his insanity. Jan had affairs with Rick James, Frankie Beverly, Teddy Pendergrass, and all kinds of other men because she and Marvin were in an open relationship and she was just as screwed up and promiscuous as he was. Some of your facts and statements are off. You are obviously a MG fan like me but you are perhaps younger than me and therefore not as wise or mature enough yet to see that this man tormented others, including Jan and including himself because of his own unhappiness and mental illness. He wanted to die because he hated himself. He hated his father. He wanted his father to kill him. Keep reading about him and unpeeling the layers of this onion. It's much deeper than Jan. It goes back to his childhood when he was beaten by his father and raped by his uncle at the age of 14. Y'all need to grow up. His story is about more than this one woman. He was not in love with her when he died. He hated her. He was paranoid. He tried to commit suicide multiple times. He beat his Father many a time prior to the day he was killed too. Jeez 🤦🏾♀️ it's so much you obviously don't know.
@@christyjackson4835 Nope.....I actually read ALL those books and i came to the exact same conclusions that you did. as far as me being young, i'm not really that either. i am from Detroit, MI and i had a family member who worked as a domestic for Anna (and Marvin) when they were married, so i know quite a bit about Marvin's life (in his 1st marriage) prior to him starting up with Jan.
that being said, artists are different than other people----i am an artist myself and i understand how they view things. Jan can only tell you things from HER OWN point of view, but she can't give you perspective FROM the man who created---you have to listen to HIM for that. if you looked into the lives of MANY a creative, you would most likely find many things you would find displeasing, distasteful, sometimes even deplorable (as in this situation), but it's often times where creatives, "muse". WE ALL romanticize what it takes to get to the art we're consuming---and i think that's the greater message here.
i loved Marvin as a CREATIVE, but i am NOT AT ALL romantic about anything having to do with his life....and i'm sure, through a lot of their experiences, abused people as well as their abusers (often the abusers were abused themselves, as in this case) would speak differently about what they thought, "love" was to them. as someone who has (and currently IS) studying human behavior (to work in the healing arts), i don't like to completely dismiss feelings and actions---it's better to dismantle and then process them in a healthy way....
This book was very good. Marvin had some ways. I left with more music to add to my music library. He was a very troubled man near his end. His brother Frankie and others tried to help him to no avail. Love you Marvin.
I was going to say, looks like she's been through hell and back...cancer is hell. My daughter is recovering..thank you Jesus!
No, she looks nothing like the hell she been thru. Look at God!
What a beautiful down to earth lady. Great interview Lenny . R.I.P Jan
I'm from DC and he is still a great man 💯
Janice was gorgeous when she was younger.. but possibly one of the greatest albums ever created was inspired by her, her love, and her beauty. "I Want You", - :Soon I'll Be Loving You Again" is my favorite song on it. What's yours?
yeah. like the song "Janis Is My Girl" . It was in Let's Get It On" album. At the time it came out I was like, who us this Janis chick? She sho got Marvin's nose WIDE open. LOL
well unfortunately, I wasn't alive when those albums were created, but I came across his musical catalog over 10 years ago, help me through some of the best and worst times... A person wish they could've found love the way they had!!
I have a few favorites. I want to be where you are, come live with me angel, feel all my love inside, soon I'll be loving you again, and since I had you.
Kayanda Eddings amazing, i heard the extended version of i want to be where you are.. .awesome
I think "Since I Had You" from I Want You is my favorite. She was indeed his muse for the musical artwork.
He has always been My favorite male singer of All time, but the more I learn about him , I learn that he was a very Sick, confused, craze individual, on a personal note, maybe that’s why he was sooo talented!
Indeed, he was a very troubled man.
Thank you, Jan. You were the rock for Mr. Marvin Gaye ,that's cool . He gave so much to the world because of that. Happy for that.
She was an addict. Get real.
Beautiful women glad she wrote the book. Sad what we go thru as people PTSD
Marvin felt very strongly about Tammi Terrell he called her his sister not romantically that's how strong the relationship was
Tammy was involved in a horrific relationship with James Brown.
she is still so very beautiful and Nona Gaye is too
Just Finished Jan's book. in my quest to soke up every word,video,and song pertaining to my favorite artist ever. i must say was skeptical going in but i thought the book was honest and excellent. was very pleasantly suprised. thanks for sharing Jan
This book was great!
Shonda Marquise Total page turner. I read it in two days!
Shonda Marquise but oh SO SAD!! MUSIC INDUSTRY and DRUGS
I dont know why but i really dig her..
I met Jan back when we both lived in LA. She was working for a small film production company. We met there and about two weeks later she called and asked me on a date! We dated for about a year-friends for many more. Very surreal dating/being "part of" Marvin Gaye's life...I'm listening to this with my eyes closed-hearing Jan's voice as I have a thousand times on the phone...missing her.
Wow! How was she dating wise? Kind loving and etc?
Yeah, right. Did Madonna give you a reach around too?
Gtfoh
@@TempeSoldier123 Not that I need to prove myself to a rude person like you but; Of all the people on the planet, you really think someone who make up a story about (a little known "celebrity) like Jan Gaye? IF I was going to make up a story it would have been about someone everyone knows-like Madonna-not someone so few know.
@@leonardodalongisland wow, just wow. Your lies about Jan are something else.
Did you date Halle Berry too? Let me guess: you impregnated Whitney Houston before she married Bobby Brown, huh?
@@baileybutterfly320 she just died
Great interview, no one knows her story but her. Next time you are interviewed Mrs. Gaye, please tell us about those ballads Marvin would sing to you. The "Bobby Scott" recordings. I read your book, I truly enjoyed it, the writing was beautiful.
The host has a lovely broadcasting voice. It’s overly smoothing. Love it! 🥂🍺 Cheers and beers mates!
A lovely woman. Good interview.
Tammy Terrell was a gorgeous woman, with her beautiful skin and hair and a body to make any man sweat and want to chase her down the Motown hallways! Her voice was delicious, in my opinion, like butter, and perfectly tuned to sing with Marvin. What a great duo they would have been over the years...sad he died.
Tammy Terrell died first ..he could never get over her
@@dorothywilder5525 czcams.com/video/D4C5uLNj-jY/video.html
David Ruffin put Tammy through SO MUCH physical abuse. There was a time when Tammy had a anuerisym in Marvin's arms during a show performance.
ITS ABOUT JANIS NOT TAMMY.
Beautiful lady! Courageous & loving. Very sad situation for she & her family.
I read the book and I loved it! Show me a different side of Marvin Gaye, the human side. He suffered a great deal and mostly did it to himself. I assume he felt it would make him a greater artist and it did. He suffered for us.
I read the book divided soul it layed out his childhood abuse by his father, it was terrible.
Marvin Gaye never suffered for us. He was just a man who suffered like we all do. Don't try to make Marvin Gaye out to be a god.
@@melvincarter9640 you didn’t care for him
@@rosewelton2904 I didn't know the man, do you? Why do you think this lady is tell her story? Just because someone was talented and famous don't mean they didn't have their own demons that they was living with.

She was definitely among the finest
Yes she was beautiful
They way she's explaining events is as if she was so much older than she actually is. Give me a break!!!!.

she looks so young
R.I.P. Jan Gaye
Loved the book it was great thanks Janis”
I was so in love with Marvin when I was seventeen too. I had no idea how dark he was in the inside. I used to love his music, but had no idea his songs was a representation of how his life was. Through my journey in life, it has taught me to be aware of what I look at and listen to. I in no way want to enjoy or participate in something that someone creative because of their pain or evil darkness that lives inside of them. I wish that Marvin Gay would have stayed with God! I hope he found the peace that he longed for in the end! RIP Mr. Gaye!
I finished the audio book in 2-days. I feel Jan was very truthful and I wish she had narrated the audio book. It was so insightful. She did a fantastic job.
Stella Hale She told so many lies
R.I.P👑🕊️🙏🏾
RIP JAN ❤
Rest In Peace Ms Janis Gaye
Rip Mrs janice
Her book was pretty good. Read it in two nights. She was very candid and shocking. They both used drugs regularly, she gave him oral sex at 17 when he was 33, while her mother was in the next room. When she was pregnant with Nona, Marvin sent her to stay with his parents in Maryland while he went on tour. She talks about how creepy the dad was. First time she met Marvin's dad he was wearing a Tank top and women's wig? No one was allowed to enter his room. She talks about how Anna Gordy, Marvin's first wife confronted her, her affair with Teddy Pendergrass...so many good stories. Glad she wrote the book since she died a few years ago.
I read the book.I loved it.Made you feel like you were right in the room with him. She didn't touch on his so called bi sexual relationships. She did refer to an incident when he told her that he was attracted to a movie star in passing but she never flat out revealed it .Quincy Jones was the one that referred to his association with Marlon Brando. Even though he had a serious drug issue he was highly intelligent and seemed very likable. Thank you Jan.
My question is, how does Quincy know 🤔???? And, why isn't Quincy speaking on his own liaisons with men. Marvin is not here to confirm or deny, so therefore, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
@@SimplyBeingTT because Quincy always was a tell all and allegedly Quincy is bi .ask Tevin Campbell
@@thetarotdetective3363 A tell all of lies. And yes, I'm aware that Q is probably bisexual. That's why he feels the need to lie on a man that he desires.
Much love & respect 4 U Marvin Gay & Your many Contributions😌💜
He must have been absolute hell to live with! Addictions ruin relationships.
She was very pretty when she got with Marvin Gaye. I believed he loved Jan but loved Anna even more.
Well yeah...Anna turnt him out
I think he admired and respected her, (Anna) more. He loved Jan just in a more twisted and sadistic way. She was too young and did not know what she was up against. She was seeking his approval and validaton; whereas Anna could take himor leave him, she chose herself rather to destruct with him. As the aying goes there is a danger in loving someone too much. On another note: "Anna 's Song" is out of this world, it speaks volumes. That entire "Here My Dear" album does.
Beautiful interview with Miss Janice gay beautiful
Jan and I were in a Mass Media class at Dorsey High school a group of talented 11th and 12th graders from L A city schools about 10 of us, it was a great. We would travel to meet at Beverly Hills High School . She went to L A High. We were friends, I was young, didn't realize when when she would walk with me across Dorsey High's campus that she liked blackness. We would be at my locker and the sisters would eyeball us. I didn't know how to take it...then, it wasn't cool, boy was I stupid. She married Marvin. I didn't/couldn't see that she was half black. The sweetest girl.
She went to Hamilton High and left school early. It's in the book.
Beautiful interview
60s and 70s=free love on credit..80s and 90s= AIDS and Herpes cause bill plus interest overdue
First off, Janis is /was fine. Remember, Janis is damn near 60 years old. People age. Though she was the one-time wife of a mega-star, I don't feel that she, post-Marvin, necessarily lived that "Rodeo Drive" lifestyle of Hollywood once-royalty (facelifts, personal trainers, regular injections, personal chefs). She seems to be pretty natural in her physical appearance, and I'd like to repeat, she's almost 60 years old.
NYC Songman That was sweet! So glad you said that. She is a beautiful woman...still. ❤️
NYC Songman
NYC Songman She was extremely gorgeous back in 70s and 80s
NYC Songman Yes sir. She still got
Yes she's VERY beautiful and to be honest she doesn't even look that seriously. Fame ain't for EVERYONE it requires entirely TOO much just like you said surgery this surgery that gotta fit in with the damn Hollywood women ect. She much rather stay out of the limelight and was a mother for her kids. I wouldn't have wanted my kids always in the spotlight either.
A giant in R&B music. He inspired the Beatles.
I don't believe she ever understood him , she was so young and became a wild addict. I hope she found peace before she died earlier this month. 🌹
Back in the day, all of us growing up in the same area with Bethel Church being the hub of singing.....Remember, we were all "YOUNG.".
I know this interview is 3 years 0ld but she still looks Good
I just finished reading it!
I don't think she was beating around the bush at all. Usually when a person is being interviewed about a book, they don't want to reveal too much. They'll give you just enough, so you can buy the book.
Exactly
+Brian Davis She still was vague when answering some direct questions, dude let her off the hook!
Brian Davis true
She's not all that cute .l wonder was she a vergin when she met Marvin
@@bashiradennis1258 According to her book, she was not a virgin.
I don't think Jan was a gold digger. She really loved Marvin.
How in the fuck do you know? Were you part of their journey? Na - you weren't. Stop pretending. Stop acting.....like you know.
henceforth his words "I don't think"....he didn't say she wasn't definitely.
she was to young to know what real love was ....... 17 years of age come on!... are you guys serious?,,, that wasnt love that was infactuation
KingMellow11
totally she seems so sincere in that interview In short she is keeping it real and that's all you can ask for
Not a gold digger, your right. He loved her too really hard at one time
Oh her mother place her in this industry it was set up for her already ,her own mother was dating a song writer ! Wow
Like mother like daughter....and I got this notion from justbreading this 1st 15 pages of her book
Thank you for sharing.
I still remember vividly the day I heard Marvin Gaye died. I remember the room I was in, where I was standing, the time of day. It's like the shock of hearing it, that moment, I froze in time.
Marvin was a very gifted man, and left us with so many beautiful songs. I'm just thankful for the time, we had him, with us.✌
She has aged so gracefully! Wow that sistah looks like she is 30 years old.
Sterling Goldstien exactly
Sterling Goldstien She is right though. It is better to hear it all from the women who lived with him and all of his imperfections. Fans have been curious for so many years because he was such a charismatic person and yet plagued with so many demons.Strange how one can have a strict and very religious upbringing yet can become worldly and unhinged. Everyone already knows that Marvin was very talented till the end but clearly had issues. What we dont know is what drove him to fall from grace into that taking an under aged child for a lover,adulterous, seedy,sexy drug scene that ultimately helped lead to his untimely death. Dont want to read a polished bedtime story to pacify the grand kids
And I dont want to read it if she cant name the drugs,take the sheets of the beds and admit how complict she was too.Lucky for her she had the chance o to change her old habits before its was too late. Dont want to read her book if she is not willing to vilify and glorify both Marvin and herself on the pages. The truth should be told to his fans.The smoothed over details have already been told by the many biographers who think that they knew his story. Too bad that Anna didn't write her book on him before she passed. Agree to transparency or I'm saving my money.

What we dont know is what drove him to fall from grace into that taking an under aged child for a lover,adulterous, seedy,sexy drug scene that ultimately helped lead to his untimely death. Dont want to read a polished bedtime story to pacify the grand kids
And I dont want to read it if she cant name the drugs,take the sheets of the beds and admit how complict she was too.Lucky for her she had the chance o to change her old habits before its was too late. Dont want to read her book if she is not willing to vilify and glorify both Marvin and herself on the pages. The truth should be told to his fans.The smoothed over details have already been told by the many biographers who think that they knew his story. Too bad that Anna didn't write her book on him before she passed. Agree to transparency or I'm saving my money.
Sterling Goldstien she's half Irish
More like 45, at least.
The book is amazing. A must read. You will not be able to put it down.
Lotus Bee yes it is an awesome book!!
Hey to reaches own. Who am I to judge!!!,I married early my husband was older than me.. Do what works for you.. Again love you Mr Marvin Gaye!!!!
The movie next .. I need this book actually
1st time listener, beautiful interview, well spoken
Very precious lady she was able to write her book in her own words AMEN!!!
That’s so messed up, she was so beautiful and innocent. He got her into drugs, perverted sex, abused her mentally and physically. He manipulated her and God bless for her breaking free of that nonsense. It took her years to get over drug addiction and their daughter Nona had become an addict as well. To think, Marvin’s dad was an abusive mess and I’m sure he went through as well - so sad the pathology
Don’t blame him for what she involved herself in. She knew he was a grown man and doing grown man things
I would say all the perversion started with her mother.
Cocaine is a helluva of a drug, it can have you getting aroused by some perverted stuff. I think a lot of Marvin's sexual perversions was coke fuelled.
Rest In Peace 🕊️
