It's so tragic. He made his big comeback in 83 and 84 and was back on top where he belonged . And who knows what he would have done in the late 80s and 90s . He was so good
Here's what Marvin Sr. said tearfully in court: "If I could bring him back, I would. I thought I was going to get hurt. I didn't know what was about to happen. I'm really sorry for everything that happened. I loved him. I wish he could step through this door right now. I'm paying the price now". Marvin Sr, you never loved your son. You caused brutal pain his whole life. How can you love your son after all you've been through?
Marvin kept drug dealers and drug addicts at his parents house during that time. Made his parents home uncomfortable. Marvin putting his hands on Marvin Senior was the final straw. I think you need to do your research.
Marvin attacked his father FIRST! Even his mother said that! She was the one who went to bail Marvin Sr out of jail! PLUS, Marvin was suicidal! His father once said: if any of his kids EVER raised their hand to hit him then, he would kill him or her! His sister was the one who reiterated what his father told them
His Daddy got away legally with murder but god had the last word he died of a brain tumor sounds harsh maybe but thats what it is he murdered his own son
Marvin Gaye wasn't exactly the best son you could have. I know a lot of people don't see this because he was a great singer, but damn people, open your eyes. He didn't deserve getting shot, though. Especially by his dad.
His dad abused him way before he ever got on drugs Marvin probably got on drugs because his daddy made his childhood such hell come on Ralph no Marvin Jr was not perfect but look what he had to live with his whole life a father who openly hated him
April Dannette It's easy to blame all his life problems and the failures he had on his dad. And when his dad shot him, the media took over and started to blame the dad for everything. Seems to me they needed a scapegoat to clear Marvin Jr's name and his dad was a nice, juicy target. Now, I know how people today think (they love twisting your words and get shit out of context) so let me be clear. I do NOT think his dad was right for shooting him. I do NOT think his dad didn't deserve to be jailed for the rest of his life. What I DO think, however, is that his dad got blamed for everything that went wrong in his life and that Marvin Jr was basically declared a saint after his death. A nice example of this is the line you wrote ""...Marvin probably got on drugs because his daddy made his childhood such hell..." The word "probably" is exactly what I mean. People assume his dad is to blame for all of it, because hey, the old man did shoot him.
Now today is been 35 years already That dad of his kill his son hope continues to rot in hell for what he did to him.The greatest soulful legend King of Motown His legacy will live on forever #RIPMarvinGaye 🙏🏿🙏🏿💕
The prince of soul, Marvin Gaye pushed the limits of rhythm and blues like no artist before him. He left behind a great musical legacy and more than 9 million dollars in debts due to not paying his back taxes and child support. He also attempted suicide five times because of his depressive drug habit and paranoia. His financial problems was a result of buying illegal drugs, extorting money from music promoters, not paying bills that were due; and going a massive spending spree after the release of his three albums. My sources are from the Reelz Documentary. good video.
I am very sad even though I was born 10 years after this painful incident, but I could not bear this and it was not possible that a boy being killed by his father is a very strange thing and I did not understand it anymore even if I lived thousands of years after today
Lol stop talking shit. No 4 year old would remember something like this being a big deal. 🤣 You posers act like 4 year olds can reme Paul every single thing
@@bigolebot @J Crash What a genius! GTFOH If your reading comprehension skills were up to par, you'd pay attention to the fact that I mentioned my family was distraught over it. Traumatic moments will stay with u, Black families took this personal.. Thoughts can be triggered even in 2 year Olds decades later. Especially when revisited again .Or are you just that ignorant to how the subconscious mind works? I remember my first day of school too and guess what age that was Sherlock? 4. Do your research. Just because you can't remember yesterday doesn't mean everyone else's mind is screwed.
@@autumnapollonia You still wouldn't remember lol, I'm sorry but you're going to convince me little girl, I've been listening to Marvin Gaye since 1966 long before you were born and I actually lived through his time unlike you GenX'ers and millennials. You wouldn't get it...
@@bigolebot all of what you said still doesn't change the fact that a 4 year old can indeed remember major events. Again old man all it takes is a book. This is a fact backed by science.
Its a shame he died at such a young age on the eve of his birthday by his own father. But as I found out on at info site his dad was cruel with him as a young boy growing up. What a pity to have such a promising career. He lost his good friend Tammi Terrell from a brain tumor in 1970 as well.
his dad was abusive and told his kids if you ever hit me i will kill you well Marvin pushed him down that day he was defending himself and his mama and he died for it
@@aprilgosa6315 yes he was defending his mom but it's been said by his siblings that he always wanted to push his dad to killing him since he was suicidal and wanted to die.
I remember Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder hearing about it on the radio and thinking it was A CRUEL JOKE until they called someone and it was confirmed
Don't you find it strange he died a year after this interview. I guess the devil's needed twelve months to convince his father to kill him and get away with it.
Its so odd. I grew up hearing stories that Marvin Gaye went nuts and held up in his parents house where he began beating his father. I never knew the truth.
Marvin was a nut job, the man had serious issues, always high as a kite during an interview, tried to kill himself many times. He was sick. As much as I loved his work and I've been a fan since 1966 when Moods Of Marvin was out. He was sick
@@bigolebot Apparently he said he'd have tried to kill himself as a child because of his father if it wasn't for his mother. Some reckon he was trying to make his father kill him - his sister said their father had told them repeatedly as children that if they ever answer back to him or hit him he'd kill them, that he brought them into the world and could take them out of it again. Small wonder Marvin was sick in the head after growing up with his father.
As great as Marvin Was as an artist. He was a very troubled man and he was bringing trouble to his parents house. Him putting his hands on his father final straw. If you know Marvin true story. Marvin legitimately wanted to die. Anyone who has anything to say about what I just said. Do some research and come up here with some sense.
You are right, Marvin Gaye was very troubled. He never got over the death of Tammi Terrell and during the final years of his life he was flat broke, and living at home with his parents. I saw a documentary about him and family said that the last few days of Marvin's life he spent in his pajamas and bath robe, snorting cocaine, watching pornography and reading the Bible, so he was very troubled indeed!! And yes he was suicidal. Such memorable music, such a waste of life!!
His father said that he was "possessed by the devil" and took matters into his own hands. Also, fairly sure his father was a preacher at some point in life. Clearly, he felt like he should execute "God's justice" and killed Marvin Jr because they disagreed.
His father was also abusive to him and Marvin's mother for many years and told them both that if anyone pushes him or touches him EVER he would kill them. Marvin had his problems esp with paranoia and drug abuse we know that but he was also getting in his father's face to defend his mother...see we only get 1 side of the story all we got was Marvin's father's side
MadMikeandhisHat His dad was a crossdresser, he wore womens clothing in the house, he was profoundly jealous of marvin and his success, he was jealous of even the relationship Marvin had with his mom(dad's wife), the very 🔫 he used to end marvin was the one Marvin jr got for him as a gift for protection....although marvin had tons of demons and nightmares he was facing and forever fighting he didnt deserve to go out like this
IF what I heard was true MG was done with performance touring and wanted to end it all, actually telling his brother he was glad and purposely caused it to happen…
All these factors money, disease, anger.. will never justify this. he's dead. he can't defend himself. so extremely sad how they brush this off as it was all marvins fault.
It Is God That Gives & It Is God That Takes. Our Souls Hurt When We Lose Flesh. But We Should Smile For These Spirits Live On Through Us All Whether They Were Perfect Or Fell Short
@@bigolebot yeah, I do remember how big Sexual Healing was though. In fact, I remember seeing the newspaper the day after he died. It was the only tune that I remember my father being visibly affected by the death of a celebrity.
@@TempeSoldier123 Marvin Gaye's death was a fucked up time for us fans. In my opinion the biggest tragic lost in music. Been following him since 1966 (born in 1955)
Yes. His father was mean and did some odd things back in those days but also was a Pastor. There were fathers who beat their son's back in those days to punish them and Marvin;s dad was one of those. There were things about Marvin that his father wouldn't accept and Marvin had his own problems with drugs and depression. They had many problems with one another when Marvin was an adult but he was always close to his mother
It turned out that Marvin had drugs in his system when he was shot and killed by his father. Marvin Sr though was a very bad father not only to Marvin, Jr but to all his children
If it wasn’t for America’s love of guns more than the love of people he’d probably still be alive today, yet another pointless death, (Hohn Lennon in America too). America may of brought us some great things but also the worst!

Marvin Gaye was a tortured soul...Like many great artists his life played out in music and it appears he sought his on premature death.
It seems to be a common thing with so many famous artists.
