Description
Hi All, I know I stated "I Want You" would be the next album songs I'd dive into, BUT I finished a project last night that dictated an episode dedicated to the very first album Marvin Gaye released: "Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye" in 1961. I have uploaded every song from this album onto to my youtube channel "Marvin Gaye's Enduring Gifts" on the "Marvin Gaye song of the day" playlist.  Here is a link to the playlists page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChilKh5Wc2UolrxowWOPktw/playlists?view_as=subscriber As mentioned in previous episodes it is my mission of the youtube channel to be a resource to you for the depth of Marvin Gaye's musical catalog. We have 52 songs now in the "song of the day" playlist, and it will be constantly growing. I recently began using the playlist as my main source of Marvin music during the day by playing the playlist on shuffle. Please use it as your free Marvin Gaye streaming resource! To give an update on the Marvin Gaye Collection songs available on the channel: I owe you two more songs from Volume 3-Rare, Live and Unreleased. And about 6 or 7 songs from Volume 4-The Balladeer. There will also be several unreleased, in other collections, songs from volume 2-Duets coming soon.  BUT!!! I sat and listened to every song from the Soulful Moods of Marvin Gaye tonight, and the only word I can use to describe my experience: mesmerized! Please allow yourself to go back in time as you hear the master introducing himself to us. OH! MY GOODNESS GUYS!! This is the purest experience of Marvin Gaye you will EVER have! Marvin is playing the piano AND the drums on every song, and possibly he is also playing the guitar as the inside of the album reveals he was skilled at the guitar, along with arranging, writing and singing. I've stated many times that Marvin was a percussionist and this is a very clear experience of his skills.  Our beloved is showing himself to us for his very first solo project! He knows we don't know who he is, and all he can do is his best, and it is magical to be in this space with him, with a knowledge that we are blessed to have today: ALL THAT IS TO COME! Everyone starts from square one, and this is a very appreciated suite of material that I'm so happy to share with you!  I also can't recommend highly enough the recent documentary of Motown that aired last month on Showtime, here we get Berry Gordy's take of the journey between he and Marvin to getting Marvin's gift "What's Going On" released.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/marvingaye-enduring-gifts/support

I wanted to share some recent discoveries I've made about what makes this "odd" content, that is randomly available out there, so invaluable. Know that it is was captured without Marvin's authorization. On his 1983 Sexual Healing Tour he never agreed to have one of his performances recorded for...
