Music reviews of Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye
Music Review: One of the most prominent legends of the soul!
Rating: 5 Stars
The irruption of the soul in the middle sixties, was the final result of a long wait. Chronological and sociologically it seems to coincide with the tragic end of Martin Luther King, but there's much to say. The black people lacked of a musical flag, a genre that conveyed their special contour. After the first generation of rock in the middle fifties, came the arousing of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, The British Rock, the summer songs and the emerging of a genius of the guitar Jimmy Hendrix. On the other hand, the Latin Jazz (Carl Tjader, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Dave Valentin) had been growing at exponential rate and the classic Jazz was tied to a far tradition that expressed those memories and unsaid livings, but this generation was over the thirties and the young generation just didn't feel represented themselves with Parker, Ellington, Bassie, Webster, Coltrane, Mingus, Montgomery, Davis, Peterson or Satchmo, faithful Ambassadors of the Post War generation. They needed the appearing of a dancing movement capable to compete with the commercial tendencies by then. Under these circumstances, the soul emerged by an almost imperative genetic that was being expected; this new musical expression became for the black people the materialization and concretion of their own urban poetry, a true fire exit - if I may - to drag and share in those friendly meetings.
The great beginnings belonged to enthusiastic and unforgettable ensembles such as the Supremes, Temptations Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Jr. Walker and The all Stars, but the second big wave began to show renowned soloists with a feeling. Steve Wonder, Wilson Picket, James Brown, Otis Reading, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight irrupted at the great stages to show the world the soul had been arrived to stay. You may realize for instance, Vietnam as thematic inspiration was practically absent until the arrival of the theme "War" in 1969 sung by Edwin Star.
Marvin Gaye was what we might label as the wonder kind in the soul genre. Even it could be said his originality was always a step ahead his musical colleagues. As a matter if fact, he always knew to impress his personal style a sort of a refined detachment, in which lyrics and music shook hands and the outcome produced curious results. Somehow he remained in the musical memory since the first time you listened him. Somehow he influenced three remarkable figures of the early seventies, Billy Ocean, Lou Rawls and Bill Whiters.
The way his brief career was interrupted certainly belongs to the annals of the unexpected universe, and would seem to suggest us the tragedy nestles like an invisible shadow behind every one of us.
Don't miss this album because Marvin Gaye is part of the legend.
