Command Performance


Simplistic artisty at it's finest, Marvin Gaye was pure genius and a troubled soul. The man voice was piercing and his delivery was unequaled. Unfortunately Berry Gordy wanted him to be a caged bird, but only do r&b music, had Marvin had his way he wouldve done jazz, pop, rock and everything in between, because that's how large his talent was. He was ahead of his time and he is the mastermind behind the 'concept' album/cd. This performance came at the time of his exile from America, and prepped his 'Sexual Healing' comeback in the United States. This is a rare performance but it shows that TALENT wins over gimmick every time. Marvin I and the world misses your magic.
