Marvin Gaye: "Here, My Dear."

15 December 1978 · 48 YEARS

"Here, My Dear."

Marvin Gaye

The artist was required to give half of the royalties from these tracks to his ex-wife. As a result, the project trades standard pop hooks for a moody exploration of resentment.

Deeply personal lyrics accompany sprawling, experimental funk arrangements characteristic of the late Motown period. It functions more like a diary than a commercial record.
