#02: Marvin Gaye
Play • 18 min

Marvin Gaye is known as one of the greatest Motown and Soul artists of all time.  Many people don't know that Marvin was heavily addicted to cocaine, or that he gave his father the gun that he would later murder Marvin with.  In today's episode, we'll dive into Marvin's upbringing, his career, his relationship with his father, and his ultimate demise at the hands of his father, Marvin Gaye Sr.   Today's episode features my own personal serenade (the first of many) and the jingle of my dog Jude's collar.  

*Trigger Warning: This episode contains graphic details of crimes containing murder, as well as drug use/addiction.
