"Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. (in the style of his hero Sam Cooke, he added the "e"
to his surname as an adult) was born April 2, 1939 in Washington, D.C. The
second of three children born to Marvin Sr., an ordained minister in the
House of God - a conservative Christian sect fusing elements of orthodox
Judaism and Pentecostalism which imposes strict codes of conduct and
observes no holidays - he began singing in church at the age of three,
quickly becoming a soloist in the choir. Later taking up piano and drums,
music became Gaye's escape from the nightmarish realities of his home life -
throughout his childhood, his father beat him on an almost daily basis.
....
....
....
Gaye's career resurgence brought with it an increased reliance on cocaine;
finally, his personal demons forced him back to the U.S., where he moved in
with his parents in an attempt to regain control of his life. Tragically,
the return home only exacerbated his spiral into depression; he and his
father quarrelled bitterly, and Gaye threatened suicide on a number of
occasions. Finally, on the afternoon of April 1, 1984 - one day before his
45th birthday - Gaye was shot and killed by the Reverend Marvin Gay, Sr. in
the aftermath of a heated argument."
