R&B Legend “Marvin Gaye” Once Tried Out For The Detroit Lions (Video)

Stop us if you’ve heard this one: 1968 Detroit Lions standout (and eventual NFL Hall-Of-Famer) Lem Barney was out playing golf near R&B great Marvin Gaye’s house and was like ‘why not get his address and stop by and meet Marvin?’

No?

Well, we hadn’t heard of such either… or that Gaye (a sports fanatic as much as a Motown music phenom) had ambitions for the gridiron… until this ESPN segment. Wow! Watch above.

Living Famously: Marvin Gaye (Documentary)

BBC docu-series ‘Living Famously’ gives a near-hour look at the life and legacy of the brilliant, gone-way-too-soon crooner Marvin Gaye. Enigmatic, tumultuous, mega-talented, tragic, soulful, sad… too many emotions and descriptors for the singer’s life and career. A view from all angles in this episode about one of the most influential musical and cultural figures of the 20th Century (arguably of all time).

Yasiin Gaye – “B Stands For Beef” (Soul Mates Tribute)

a0339095354_10

Word to the wise, my ‘digger’… Don’t sleep on these Yasiin Gaye releases. RIAA (you know, the Grammy folks) has been having the nice releases taken down due to ‘copyright violations.’ But if you are on top of things you’ll have scooped up hot ones (for FREE) like this before anyone could take them down anyway, right? Boooo… RIAA. Could call it hate. Not beef though.

“Beef don’t come with a radio edit.” First leak from Yasiin Gaye – The Return (Side Two).

This is another Yasiin Bey x Marvin Gaye (Yasiin Gaye) mashup from Amerigo Gazaway entitled “B Stands For Beef” (Soul Mates Tribute).

Yasiin Gaye (Yasiin Bey x Marvin Gaye) – “Ms. Fat Booty”

Already know… you heard talk of someone messing with Mos Def’s classic “Ms. Fat Booty” and went “Don’t touch our sh–!” Oh, Yasiin Bey and Marvin Gaye (conceptually collectivized as Yasiin Gaye) are taking a shot at the title? Interesting… Amerigo Gazaway is on to something: putting these ‘Soul Mates’ together, Marvin’s track fitted with Bey (then as Mos) lyrics. Nice.

Sexual Healing: The Marvin Gaye Story (Extended Trailer)

This trailer is a stirring first look at the Marvin Gaye biopic “Sexual Healing.” Jesse L. Martin – remember dude from ‘Law & Order’ (without any letters after it)? He’s starring as Marvin Gaye… and on that ‘Law & Order’ vein, Martin’s former ‘L&O’ cast mate S. Epatha Merkerson plays Alberta Gaye. A host of other players put in good work; but the actor playing Marvin’s father – Dwight Henry as Marvin Gaye Sr… whew! The tension!

The biopic video was set to be released April 1, 2014, but funding issues have halted production since June 2013. No word heard on the finishing of this flick yet. We can only hope this work gets done, in the can, and onto the screen soon.
