Plot Summary
Marvin Gaye is one of the great and enduring figures of American music. His innovative mix of gospel, R&B, soul and jazz made him a huge and glamorous performing star, while records like "What's Going On" challenged and changed the face of popular music. Yet his life story is also one of personal torment, of bittersweet success, and of death by the hand of his father. This tells the full story of his Extraordinary life and tragic death through new interviews with his family, friends and colleagues, re-enactments, and classic archive footage (some of it never seen before) of Marvin on stage, at home, and in the recording studio.

Great Documentary!
This is such a good music documentary! I love how it goes through the life of Marvin Gaye, and of course there is great music in this movie. It's really emotional to see all his friends and family talking about intimate details of his life.You end up learning a lot of stuff about him that you didn't know beforehand.
A Man who prophosied about todays social problems years ago.
This is an awesome documentary that allows those of us who love and appreceiate Marvin's music, lyrics, gifts and talents and real music. It's unfortunate that there are very few musicians today who can write, sing and perform outside of the box as so many did in the 1960's up until the mid 1980's. Definitely worth watching...
