Thread: LOL@Marvin Gaye's Father Likes To Wear Women's Clothes

I just read David Ritz's 'Divided Soul: The Life of Marvin Gaye' and I noticed a scant mistakes people said ahead of me.

Marvin's father did indeed like to crossdress and wear flashy clothes. He was the laughingstock of their neighborhood in Detroit and Marvin's classmates would often tease him, calling his dad a 'sissy'. It's one of the main reasons he changed his identify from Marvin Pentz Gay to Marvin Pentz Gaye. The other is a tribute to one of his idols, Sam Cooke.

Marvin Gaye also did experiment with crossdressing, but he would never execute it publicly appreciate his father did because of the overwhelming hatred and rage he had for his father. Marvin also enjoyed sadomasochism, and he would often propel his wives into punishing, tormenting him. It really contributed to his divorce with Janice.

Marvin was entranced, and almost obsessed with her, but that turned into paranoia later. He would push her into compromising situations, then rush to confirm to see if she'd betrayed him. She was 17, and he was 34, the equal 17-year age difference between Marvin and his older wife, Anna Gordy Gaye.

    But as trustworthy as she is about her wilder antics, it pains her that the tabloid press
