Recently uncovered Marvin Gaye demos

About 6 months ago I read about several new Marvin Gaye demos being discovered in Belgium, along with some other MG artifacts.

I haven't heard anything since and wondered if anyone here has an update about progress to release them etc. I recall that ownership etc would need to be ascertained as a starter.

It would certainly be great to hear some new Marvin music.

Thanks.

This may well be my favorite Gladys Knight Motown track by Norman Whitfield. The guitar work and the Funk Bros are on fire here and Gladys delivers over them. But one thing drives me crazy about this recording.

It came on my iPod today at the gym and reminded me that about 1 minute into the song the drum fades out...and stays out for over a minute. I have always wondered if this was a mixing error by Whitfield or was he trying to augment the horns and guitars here. It's on both the stereo and mono mixes.

Anybody else pick up on this?

I have sadly been informed that our Vandella Ros Ashford has been admitted into a care facility with advanced dementia. I am sending all my prayers and asking for others for this sweet lady. Met her a couple times when she was on the road with Martha.

Her passing was announced today on her official Facebook page...

"ON BEHALF OF MY DEAR FRIEND ANGIE, I AM SADDENED TO ANNOUNCE HER PASSING ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 13TH. THE FUNERAL WILL BE HELD AT ST. DOMINCKS CHURCH IN VALEJO CA. ON JUNE 28TH AT 1:00pm."

I am trying something new. This thread will be used for showcasing new talent. Got a song or band you think deserves recognition? Feel free to post it here and give us a chance to listen. Could be fun.
