RIP Marvin Gaye

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the great Marvin Gaye's untimely murder.
In my eyes, Marvin, along with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway; were the greatest singers of the 20th century and of recent memory.
Here's a VERY eerie video of a 70s telecast interview with the Late Marvin Gaye and his father, the man that killed him just a day before what would've been his 45th birthday. Watch:
It's fascinating to me to see a man kiss on the cheek the one who would betray him, almost as Jesus did Judas. Sad sad story.
Here is my favorite song by Marvin. Distant Lover:
 RIP MARVIN GAYE
(April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984)
