Motown put its artists through a finishing school to present a clean and articulate image. Marvin Gaye was a product of it. 😎

@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?
