This
programme comprises a rare selection of insights into the diverse aspects
of Marvin Gaye's personal and musical world with special focus on the
later period of his life. Ex-wife Anna Gaye, wife Jan Gaye and brother
Frankie provide exclusive views and opinions on Marvin's approach to
his life, his music and his spirituality. Odell Brown, his long-time
arranger/music director and fellow musicians Doni Hagan and Deon Estus
talk about the progression and development of his music. Family archive
footage reveals Marvin's self-imposed exiles to Ostend, Belgium and
to Hawaii. We are given a deeper insight into his bouts of drug abuse
as well as Marvin's triumphant return to Los Angeles, leading to his
tragic death on the eve of his 45th birthday.
