In this episode we begin to cover the 5th song from Marvin Gaye's 1978 masterpiece "Here, My Dear." Remarkably, it took until the 30th anniversary re-release of this project for us to get the "updated information" that Anna Gaye co-wrote with Marvin on this song. In 26 years of study of this work-of-art, I never listened to it from a perspective of thinking Anna Gaye had a hand in its creation, other than being its central source of inspiration. I have SO MUCH TO SAY about this song, that I have split it into two parts. I address the other project "Vulnerable" that Marvin worked on during the time of recording this album. Which leads me to look back on the decade earlier when he first got those songs and the fact that Marvin Gaye was ALWAYS Marvin Gaye, no matter what period of his career we look at. It was ALWAYS Marvin Gaye among a lot of other people.
