Hello Everyone.

I've just found out that BBC Radio 2 is airing a half hour show on Marvin Gaye this evening - at 7PM GMT ( That would be 2PM for you folks in the Eastern U.S ).

Apparently its narrated by SMOKEY ROBINSON.

I presume its going out on the web ..

Heres a link :-

Hey, Rodger. I heard the first program. That was kind of cool hearing artist like Johnny Bristol, Jack Ashford, Gladys Knight, and Martha Reeves.

When is the 2nd program? I want to about those duets.

Hi Dinelle.

My understanding is that the next five episodes go out at the same time (Friday Night 7PM U.K. Time) for the next five weeks.

Presumably the series is to commemerate the 20th aniversary of MARVIN's death which is in two weeks time.

Hey, Roger. I listened to the second show last night. It was nice how Johnny Bristol and Marvin described the duets. Especially Tammi Terrell since this week was the anniversary of her death. I wish there was some way to record the show so I could listen to it whenever I want.
