There will never be another Marvin Gaye. He got caught up in drugs, but there will NEVER be another Marvin Gaye. Magical

I’m surprised they haven’t made a movie about him ! I love Marvin Gaye ❤🙏

The people in the audience had no idea how incredibly lucky they were.

"Father, father: we don't need to escalate ... " eerily prophetic of what would in fact go on.

Marvin gaye is the definition of soulful, a real human being with real feelings & justified emotionally

Marvin's departure from the human form ,shook me emotionally as a 22 yr old ,felt like I lost a favorite uncle.

Marvin had the Chance of his life to turn things around during his time in Belgium.
Those were people who really cared about him.

What a great way to capture how serious a spiritual battle can be…it was torment every day.

The saddest day ever,  when Marvin Da Great died like that.

I remember hearing this on the news when I was 7 years old.

I don’t think I will ever get over this 😂😂😂😂I love him❤❤❤❤

There is a pain in my heart for Marvin till the day I die 😢

No one ever had his best interest at heart except Jan, but she was young and powerless.

Marvin orchestrated his exit from this world. He always knew his own father resented his success and was Enraged by living in a house his own son paid for. Marvin was done he just didn't have the courage to do this wicked deed himself. So so sad😢

My all time favorite singer. My Idol.

I watched this documentary when it first aired 30 years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. Thanks for the upload.

What a gem of a video, this is a great find 💎 Thanks so much for uploading this.

I had only seen a later/shorter production of this documentary, one centered around his time in Belgium. Thank you for uploading this. This one is far more complete. I was born in 1988, but I took a liking to Marvin Gaye in my adolescent years. I had serious issues with my father, who was a sheriff at the time. In my head, I listened to thoughts of, "I have to take out my father, before he takes out me". I blamed him for my parents' divorce. I was filled with anger and resentment for the man and often thought I was going to end up like Marvin. My idolization of Marvin's music was much deeper than just his voice and smile, I saw myself him, or at least, that is what I believed at the time. I even had the opportunity to carry out the crime, but I couldn't find a way to get away with it. That and I wanted to see if my father could redeem himself with youngest brother who was a toddler. I said to myself "You screwed it up with me, maybe you will do better with the youngest" I kept the gun pointed down range rather than turning it on my father. It all came to ahead one day when three generations had a heated moment. I disobeyed my father, and my grandfather stood up for me. I had never seen my father so angry and that's when I realized, this was a generational issue beyond me. I thought i was angry with my dad, but the anger I saw that my dad had against my grandfather was to a higher degree. Years would pass, and my father and I would reconcile. I was allowed to see that I needed to go to my father and apologize to him for the things i said, the way that I was, my father gave a lite hearted apology, and the monkey was off both of our backs. The change was like day and night. Years later during my military service, I would be the best man at his wedding. If you read all of this, I share this experience because.. Like Marvin Jr. all I ever wanted was my father's approval as a kid. The years I hated my father, the thoughts of him dominated my thinking and my anger for him controlled everything I did. As an angry teenager I told him through clinched teeth, "I will be a better father than you ever was" (What an ego, but all angry people are narcissist). Today, I'm just fortunate that I still have him and I've been permitted to understand how difficult it is to raise a child. Marvin's situation is a tragedy, but these situations play out daily among us. Parents are our first loves as a child, and the first people we hate. Love is the answer, going and forgiving is the only way to conquer this mess.

I thought I'd seen every Marvin Gaye doco etc and this pops up out if nowhere, I wasn't even searching for him, YouTube is such a great source for kid born in the late 60s like me, I can pull up just about any memory I want to immediately, back in the 70s etc if you didn't watch it you probably wouldn't see it again.
