“...Marvin Gaye foi um homem que viu o valor social de colocar nossa dor e sofrimento em música.” - Ice Cube sobre Marvin Gaye
Ele foi um dos maiores cantores e compositores de sua geração, um soul man natural cuja música esteve profundamente absorvida por nossa cultura.
Nascido em 1939, Marvin Gaye dedicou sua vida à música. Tanto foi que, apesar de ter sido um artista absolutamente genial e bem-sucedido profissionalmente, nunca teve grandes alegrias no lado pessoal.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

*from 'What's Going On' (1971)*
Intro:
Gm9 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh...
Verse 1:
Gm9 Flying high in the friendly sky, Flying high, without ever leavin' the ground, no. Rest of the folks are tired and weary, Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
Gm9 I go the place where danger awaits me, Dm9 And it's bound to forsake me. Gm9Am9 So stupid minded; I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded. Cm9Gm9 But I go crazy, when I can't find it.
Chorus 1:
C7sus4C7 In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend. Fmaj7Bbmaj7Am9 But soon the night, will bring the pains, the pain, oh pain.
Verse 2:
Gm9 Flying high in the friendly sky, Flying high, without ever leavin' the ground. And I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby, Nobody really understands, no no.
Gm9Dm9 And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me; Self-destruction in my hand. Gm9Am9 Oh Lord, so stupid minded, Cm9Gm9 Oh, but I go crazy, when I can't find it.
Chorus 2:
C7sus4C7 Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend, Fmaj7Bbmaj7Am9 To the boy, who makes slaves out of men. Gm9 And oh, believe me...
Coda:
Gm9 Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
