Trouble Man

6 Music Artist Collection Marvin Gaye
Episode 1 of 5

Marvin Gaye's wife Jan re-examines his musical career and his legacy with interviews with his family and artists who knew and worked with him. First broadcast in 2014.

As part of the 6 Music Artist Collection on Marvin Gaye, a chance to hear a documentary first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2014.

Sadly Marvin Gaye died at the hands of his father on 1st April, 1984, the day before his 45th Birthday.

Janis Gaye (Marvin Gaye's second wife, and mother to his children Nona & Frankie) takes us on a very personal journey to reveal the real Marvin. She shares with us how he was a Troubled Man for most of his life; possibly clinically depressed, with feelings of inadequacy and self-hatred, as well as loving himself above all else. He was a complex man with many inner conflicts, family conflicts and a growing dependency on cocaine; but at the same time a loving husband and father, and of course, a musical genius.

With contributions from Marvin's youngest sister Zeola, music writers David Nathan and Adam White, Motown singer Smokey Robinson, former Motown press officer in the UK Bob Fisher and ex-promotions man Roger St Pierre, who all met Marvin Gaye at various times in his career.
