Marvin Gaye (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984)

I was a kid when Marvin Gaye was shot and killed by his father.
On April Fool’s Day. A day before Marvin’s 45th birthday.

I remember hearing the news when I got home from school.
I remember my mom crying. I remember my dad hugging me.
My father and I had a big fight the day before. He apologized.

Marvin Gaye’s music was like a member of my very middle-class, very suburban, very white family. Through song and verse, Marvin was able to bridge deep racial rivers all over the world. And in my own family.

That he died while trying to break up a family fight was heartbreaking then.
That we may be hearing never-before-heard music is heartwarming now.

Sadly, who knows when/if we’ll ever this music will ever get released.

Over the years, Marvin Gaye’s children/estate have rightfully profited from their father’s musical genius and legacy. They’ve also claimed copyright infringement at least one too many times in my opinion.

  • Ed Sheeran wins copyright infringement lawsuit involving Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On' (Jessica Wang/Entertainment Weekly)

  • Blurred Lines Of Copyright
    (Ethics Unwrapped)

These cases provide lots of reasons to cry. In my opinion, crying wolf with some of the allegations of copyright infringement is a waste of everyone’s time, talent, and money.

Hopefully, the Gaye and Dumolin Estates will be as cooperative and friendly during the legal arena as the men seemed to be in real life.

Because the world needs more of this man’s work.
May there be some musical healing sooner than later.

Thanks for reading!
Clint
