Maxwell DJ’s his favorite Marvin Gaye jams
Aug 28, 2009 at 1:58 PM PDT|By indiediot

When people compare Maxwell to the legendary Marvin Gaye, he says, “I’m obviously flattered because Marvin was one of the baddest ever, but I can only be me.” What Marvin and Maxwell have in common is an uncanny sense of melody and the ability to inject unchecked emotion into their songs. In this exclusive playlist, Maxwell shares the Marvin Gaye songs that stand out and speak to him.

What’s amazing is that my mom told me to read “Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye” by David Ritz. There are a lot of similarities between Marvin and Maxwell. I didn’t believe it until I read it for myself. Talk about inspiration. I just pray that Maxwell NEVER has to deal with the demons that Marvin had to encounter. Check it out family.

When I was in the 2nd grade there was a boy who used to sing, “Sexual Healing” to me all the time. One of the teachers overheard it and spanked us. That’s when I knew Marvin was too mature for me.

But, when Marvin Gaye died it hurt me so bad. I found out at recess and one of the Catholic nuns at my school told us. I’m from Washington, DC so our news was crazy over the entire situation. It was so tragic.

That’s why listening to Maxwell discuss Marvin was a treat. Thank you to The Latest Maxwell News for always keeping us informed!
