  • Summary

  • Welcome to the final episode about Marvin Gaye's life. We have already talke about his childhood and rise to fame so this time it's about the fall from grace leading up to his murder. In the last few years of his life his drug use had taken over not only his life but his personality. He lived in a drug fueled paranoia that was incredibly difficult for those around him to bear witness to. Oddly enough he would predict how he would die the year before but just couldn't predict by whom. If only that foresight was all encompassing, he could've prevented the event that he was trying to protect himself from. He was an incredible musical talent that wrote from his soul. He wanted to share his life in the only way he knew how. Unfortunately, there was so much pain and suffering that he held within.  Just a warning that this episode does contain discussions about suicide, drug use, sex, and violence so please keep that in mind if you choose to listen. I hope you enjoy the conclusion to this 3-part series on Marvin Gaye's life.
