Pioneer1 Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 I was watching this video the other day on Youtube. I was kind of surprised at how articulate and for lack of a better term.....almost "White/Bougie" sounding Marvin was, in that interview atleast. Didn't sound like the man making the music.

Motown put its artists through a finishing school to present a clean and articulate image. Marvin Gaye was a product of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmurray Posted December 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 @ProfD yes but never forget marvin gaye's father was a pastor, he admitted he never even played with the other children in the community, something tells me marvin gaye was raised in a finishing school called his home. I know stevie wonder was raised a certain way as well, I think berry gordy's finishing school wasn't needed by every artist in motown , but his philosophy meant all had to go through it @Pioneer1 or @ProfD did you like the film omeleto, any thoughts? have either of you read kindred? any thoughts to the discussion?
