David Peaston performs Everything Must Change at Showtime at the Apollo ClassicSoulRadio 2012-02-02 | It's been an unfortunate week for R&B and soul. Yesterday (Wed., Feb. 1) -- on the same day as "Soul Train" founder Don Cornelius' death -- R&B/gospel singer, David Peaston, died at 54 years old. Peaston's cause of death is inconclusive, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Peaston battled with diabetes and had both of his legs amputated, starting with his right leg in 2004. In an interview with Post-Dispatch, Peaston expressed disappointment in himself over his illness. "I didn't want to be back in the public. I wasn't embarrassed or ashamed, but I felt I let myself down and, therefore, I let everyone else down. It was my fault for being sick, and I didn't want anybody to see me like that," Peaston said. Here, David performs "Everything Must Change" at "Showtime at the Apollo"

Marvin Gaye - Lets Get It On - Live ClassicSoulRadio 2012-02-01 | In 1976 Marvin Gaye's marriage was about to collapse. He was also just about to be imprisoned for non-payment of child-support to his wife, Anna. Reputedly Motown bailed Marvin out and it was suggested that he leave the US for some time. Promoter Jeffrey Kruger arranged a European tour to start up in September 1976 and it also included a long waited visit to England for the first time in ten years. This concert in question was held on the 10th of October before a sell-out audience at the Edenhall concert hall in Amsterdam. The track listing is pretty much identical compared to the Album "Marvin Gaye - Live At The London Palladium!" which was recorded on the same tour seven days earlier. The only songs missing are "Trouble Man" and "God is Love". All the other tracks are exactly (although in different order) the same as on this DVD, even including the content of medleys. These medleys are actually one of the biggest problems in this concert. In a way the whole concert is one gigantic medley, while at least what I was expecting, were the full versions of the songs. If compared to the performances in the "Live in Montreux" DVD this concert feels pretty boring. Marvin himself explained the reason for these medleys in Sharon Davis´ biography book like this: "I got a list of songs from my promoter. He told me all the tracks that were popular in England and I just put them into medley form for few minutes because I hadn´t done them in years. In fact, when I sing them in the States people go for popcorn and hot dogs. The only way you can perform an old record in the States is if you are very animated about it because Americans don´t want memories. They´re not nostalgic people. So I can´t understand why British audiences want to hear the old stuff because, for me, the songs are very painful, especially those with Tammi Terrell..." The show starts up with two songs from the "I Want You" album; "All The Way Round" and "Since I Had You". The effect of constant eating of junk food and irregular sleeping habits can bee seen on Marvin's body as his appearance looks a bit sleepy and swollen. The song "Come Get To This" leads the concert onwards as an intro to an extended version of "Let´s Get It On" in which Marvin really "gets it on" in seducing the female viewers in the audience. After "Let´s Get It On" begins the chain of medleys which won´t end until the finale which is the "Distant Lover". First medley includes some biggest 60´s hits like "Pride and Joy", "I Heard It Through The Grapewine" etc. The second medley consisted of songs from the "What´s Going On?" album starting with "Inner City Blues" and then leading through "What´s Going On?" to "Save The Children". For the final medley of classic duet songs, Marvin was joined on stage by a lady called Florence Lyles. With Florence, Marvin sings through songs like "You´re All I Need" and "Ain´t No Mountain High Enough", but unfortunately Flo´s voice sounds really flat compared to original duet partners like Tammi Terrels or Kim Westons. She really doesn´t make any justice for these songs although It´s only my own oppinion. The Finale "Distant Lover" is probably the best act in this concert though I think a better performance can be heard on the "Live At The London Palladium" album.
Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing ClassicSoulRadio 2012-02-01 | Marvin Gaye's Last Music Video for his hit Sexual Healin off his album "Midnight Love". Marvin Gaye won the Favorite Soul/R&B Single, "Sexual Healing" at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, Calif., on January 17, 1983.
Marvin Gaye - I Want You ClassicSoulRadio 2012-02-01 | "I Want You" is Marvin Gaye's 1976 hit song released on the Tamla Motown label. The album was his first recorded studio material released in three years and marked a change in direction for Gaye, leaving his trademark Motown soul for funky, light-disco soul. Much of Gaye's music encompassed spirituality, sexuality, and vulnerability. Originally conceived by Motown songwriter Leon Ware and his songwriting partner "T-Boy" Ross, it was originally intended to be included in Ware's Musical Massage album. When Ware, who was also signed to the label as a solo artist, presented the rough draft of his album to Motown CEO Berry Gordy, the mogul was appreciative of the songs, including a rough version of "I Want You". But after hearing it, he convinced Ware to give some of the songs to Marvin Gaye, who was coming off the release of his acclaimed 1973 record, "Let's Get It On", his final duet recording with Diana Ross and a commercially successful live album, and was coming off a US tour at the time. Marvin, who called himself a perfectionist, had struggled with creating a follow-up album to "Let's Get It On". When Ware played Gaye the rough draft of "I Want You", Marvin, then inspired by his relationship with his nineteen-year-old girlfriend, Janis Hunter, was motivated to record a convincing performance of the song, which was about a man trying to convince a wayward lover that he wanted the woman to love him as deeply as he loved her. Purportedly recorded in Marvin's Room, the singer's new recording studio in Los Angeles, Marvin also reportedly recorded the song while lying on his back of his sofa according to Ware, who said that he couldn't see Gaye at first but then discovered a laid-back Marvin delivering the song in his trademark tenor vocals. Diana Ross, whose brother T-Boy co-wrote the song, remade "I Want You" for her "I Love You" album, released in 2007. Robert Palmer released a medley of "I Want You" and another Marvin Gaye song, "Mercy Mercy Me" in January, 1991. This single reached #9 in the UK charts. "I Want You" is also the name of Australian television star Toni Pearen's debut single from 1993. Madonna recorded the song with British trip-hop group, Massive Attack. The cover was featured on the tribute album "Inner City Blues: The Music of Marvin Gaye" as well as being something to remember and be collected, with a career spanning over more than a decade, it's no wonder that many of today's artists continue to honor and try to emulate Gaye. Although no longer a physical presence, his existence as an artist is one that is sure to be a vital part of the millennium and beyond.

Marvin Gaye Sings the United States National Anthem at the 1983 NBA Allstar Game ClassicSoulRadio 2012-02-01 | In 1983, at the NBA All-Star Game, Marvin Gaye stole the show with his singular rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." At the time, singing the anthem was for the most part a straightforward job — shoulders square, sing it straight like the hymn that it is. But for this game, Gaye took the anthem to a new level. Lon Rosen remembers it well — he was the director of promotions for the Los Angeles Lakers, the team hosting the All-Star game that year. He says Gaye's one rehearsal was bumpy. By this point in his life, Gaye was battling a serious drug addiction. And on game day, the singer was running perilously late. But then the lights dimmed, and Gaye made history. One year later, Marvin Gaye was dead, shot by his own father.
