MARVIN GAYE DISCOGRAPHY

Marvin Gaye Discography

Marvin Gaye started out as a performer in doo wop groups, and played as a session drummer for several Motown acts. He then shot to fame himself as one of Motown's many star turns, but also managed to further that success as a singer, songwriter and performer outside of Detroit's hit-factory. In particular the 1971 album release 'What's Going On?', as well as being a major commercial success, was a hugely significant milestone both for the music industry and for Gaye himself. After his marriage to Anna Gordy (sister of Berry, the Motown boss) broke up, Gaye released the painfully intimate and personal album 'Here, My Dear', and in doing so prompted legal action from his ex-wife for invasion of privacy. Beset by drug problems and deeply in debt, Gaye even spent some time living in Ostend, on the Belgian coast. Tragedy was to come ultimately in 1984- Gaye was living with his parents again, and after an argument over some business documents had escalated, his father Marvin senior shot and killed him.
