One of the most gifted, visionary, and enduring talents ever launched into orbit by the Motown hit machine, Marvin Gaye blazed the trail for the continued evolution of popular black music. Moving from lean, powerful R&B to stylish, sophisticated soul, to finally arrive at an intensely political and personal form of artistic self-expression. His work not only redefined soul music as a creative force, but also expanded its impact as an agent for social change. We present hits and highlights from two classic live performances where Gaye delivers a forceful retrospective that takes the audience back and forth across an impeccable career.
Get Yer Vinyl Out presents a stellar selection of hits performed live, culled from two vintage broadcasts, professionally remastered and lovingly restored. Presented with background notes and timeline photos.
