Marvin gaye here my dear album

I'm just trying to make my life better by earning an honest day's wage, but here you are again, trying to talk me in to doing drugs and partake in sordid sex rituals. The mode here is discursive; predictable verse-chorus won’t do.
Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot & Dan Hersch at DigiPrep Studios, Los Angeles, California. I was in heaven.

Our initial discussions involved Here, My Dear, which Marvin was only too happy to analyze.

But Marvin went and made lemonade out of the lemons he was given in his dissolved marriage from Anna, and that's got to be a testament to his tenacity and creative passion.

This is a solid Marvin Gaye album, perhaps his second best after What's Going on. In the studio and only in the studio was he master of his mind.

Some of these tracks are just plain weird and maybe even bad. a writer for the Los Angeles Times panned the album, infuriating me. The latter was my favorite and seemed to theme the entire album, but there's no weak points here. For all the artistic integrity in mining the heartache and pain, there is the odd splash of self-pity and sniveling wounded male ego.

I loved the use of thematic grounding around the phrase ‘When did you stop loving me, when did I stop loving you.’ It’s gives the album a sense of unity to persist through the roller coaster of sheer emotion

So, I finally worked out my issue with Marvin Gaye. He relished the story of how he had met 37-year old Anna Gordy in Detroit when he was only 20.

In the end, you know, when he was very sick, he came to see me often. Lyrics reproduced by kind permission.
