We're finally to the album "When I'm Alone I Cry,"  There are many things to learn about Marvin Gaye as the artist thru this album and the many unreleased songs we've discovered together thru this podcast series so far, each shared as music videos on the "Marvin Gaye a Podcast" YouTube Channel. We now have a 44 song playlist titled "Marvin Gaye Jazz Songs," the bulk of them unreleased from the decade of the sixties. The majority of these songs have been discovered by me, only this year. And there is something I've learned about Marvin. If  there is gem, after gem, after unreleased gem that is from the same vein, genre, sound...it is really the SONG OF MARVIN GAYE.  the core of his artistic integrity. The song he needed to sing. The song he always did sing, only you and I never had access to hear until too many years later. BUT, there is still a justice in the very fact we can hear them, and they are truly mesmerizing. There is something about loving this portion of Marvin's catalog that lets you know you are tapped into the truest part of his artistic vision, his truest expression of himself and truly who he was. It seems that there is a certain song on the released album "When I'm Alone I Cry" where Marvin breaks thru his own insecurities and he delivers the most supreme beauty of this genre that he revered. It is a true experience taking in this song, and it makes you know, Marvin had arrived as a master of the sound he never stopped trying to create.
