"Everybody Needs Love" 1978 - The Gateway Into the Soul of Marvin Gaye. In this episode we discuss the general, music critic review of Marvin Gaye's album "Here, My Dear." Too often those without a queen insight into Marvin's entire body of work, focus too much on the backstory of how this project came to be, to provide money for Marvin & Anna's divorce settlement. Too often critics dismiss this project as something Marvin set out to do with a sense of spite and lack of concern for it's overall quality. And that simply is NOT what this project is. This project is simply a unique approach, a vehicle that Marvin used to discuss his very important, personal life story of his relationship with Anna. In the course of fully satisfying that need, you can tell that Marvin's artistic integrity is so strong and something he holds so dear, that at this point in his career, he needed to use this project as a container for ALL of the art he had inside of himself at the time. And so with this song, he takes a five minute and forty-nine second break from solely focusing on his and Anna's relationship and provides us with the clearest gateway into his soul. "Everybody Needs Love" is an extreme message of the need for EVERYTHING to receive love, and it is purely from the heart of Marvin Gaye. I discovered in recent study of the song that we receive 30 straight seconds of a strength of delivery that parallels the essential 20 seconds of "Save The Children." And in both cases it is completely fitting that the time we get out of this world strength of delivery from Marvin Gaye, it is when he is singing of LOVE!!!
