Marvin Gaye was a massively complicated man who seemed to have a special talent for complicating his life in many ways
Suppose the angels had intervened and he wasn’t killed on April 1st 1984
Would it [[or something) have happened a week later?
A month?
A year?
Was Marvin’s tragic demise inevitable?
In Divided Soul he was supposed to go on a retreat with Dick Gregory [[don’t remember the year) to clean up and get things together and he bailed literally last second
What if he had gone?
What if he had stayed in Europe?
Everything I’ve read said that Marvin only came back because of his mother’s illness but I think he would’ve been drawn back to America sooner or later and probably sooner
Ritz wrote that Divided Soul was the perfect description of Marvin Gaye
And he was most definitely a divided soul, but was he also a doomed one?
