Marvin Gaye: ‘it’s easy to imagine him as some itinerant angel who was finally poisoned by the Earth’

April 2, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

HiLoBrow on Marvin Gaye (a tribute that blessedly avoids the “boxers or briefs” debate over Here, My Dear…)

Also shared with Prince is a sacred-and-profane obsession; rock & roll is erotic gospel and songs like Marvin’s “Funk Me” are pagan hymns of the divine flesh — “Mother Nature taught me love.”

PS: The American Masters doc about Gaye is a must-see.
