COPE
Alberto Herrera entra en el Olimpo de las voces del soul con Marvin Gaye y nos cuenta su historia. Hijo de un pastor apostólico, cantó música de gospel en la iglesia de su padre y debía soportar el fundamentalismo moral y los ataques de ira de su padre.
Aprendió a tocar el piano y la batería, viéndose obligado a abandonar el atletismo por la intransigencia de su padre. Cumplió su servicio militar en aviación, cuerpo del que fue expulsado por problemas psíquicos.
Después de trasladarse a Detroit en 1960 trabaja como vocalista y batería de reserva en la Motown Records. Al año siguiente, se casó con una hermana de Gordy el presidente de Motown y grabó un álbum de baladas.
Símbolo del romanticismo volcado al soul con el espíritu delrhythm & blues, en 1962, consiguió su primer éxito con "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" y en los años siguientes consiguió mantenerse en los primeros puestos de las listas con diferentes trabajos. En 1971, el álbum What's Going On trata sobre temas sociales. Siguió triunfando durante diez años más, un período en el que sufrió problemas financieros y también con las drogas. Su mujer le abandona por su mejor amigo Teddy Pendergrass, denunciándolo además por malos tratos y abuso sexual. Publica el álbum doble Here my dear. Entre su larga lista de éxitos destacan temas como Let s Get it On, Sexual Healing y I Heard it Through the Grapevine.
Marvin Gaye murió en Los Ángeles el 1 de abril de 1984; su propio padre lo mató de un tiro después de una discusión un día antes de que cumpliera 45 años. Afirmó que veía a su hijo como un diablo.

Marvin Gaye - "Straighten up and fly right"
Straighten up and fly right
Ah, the buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said, "Now listen, Jack"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Oh, cool down, papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin'
What's the use of jivin'?
Straighten up and fly right
Yeah, cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Well, the buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Oh, cool down papa, baby, cool down
Well, the buzzard told the monkey, "You are chokin' me
Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye, said
"Your story's touching but it sounds like a lie"
Ooh, straighten up and fly right
Straighten up, straighten up, straighten up
Straighten up, fly right
Papa, cool down papa, cool down
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Oh, cool down papa, don't you blow your top

Marvin Gaye - "I heard it through the grapevine"
I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Dontcha know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Dontcha know I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, honey, I know
That you're lettin' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't no mountain high enough"
Ain't no mountain high enough
Listen, baby,
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low,
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me,
No matter where you are
No matter how far,
Don't worry, baby
Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Remember the day I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, darling
And from that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me some way, some how
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Oh no darling,
No wind, no rain
No winters cold can stop me baby
No, no baby,
'Cause you are my love
If you ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough...
