Marvin Gaye's Beef w/ Michael Jackson: Jan Gaye's 'After The Dance' My Life w/Marvin Recap #18 

LISITION PLEASE, Michael refused to do Motown 25 because he felt he was overexposing himself. His name was so big and he was on everything. Therefore, when Susanne de Passe Barry asked Michael to do Motown, he refused. Then Barry Gordy asked Michael to do Motown 25 and he said yes he would if only he could have a solo! Barry agreed and the rest is history. MJ was in control now! He was no longer signed with motown. He was IN CONTROL! AND NOBODY COULD TELL HIM WHAT TO DO AT THIS TIME IN HIS LIFE AND FOR THE REST OF HIS WHOLE LIFE! HE WAS HIS OWN BOSS! MJ WAS PLAYING CHESS LOL. HE HAD A DESTINY TO BE FULFILLED AND ONLY HE KNEW HOW! Just wanted u to know the truth......... MUCH LOVE😊

Still Marvin deserve a statue in DC. His music was a special gift.

MJ wanted to be a boss of his own business since he dropped the “Off The Wall” album , he knew what he was trying to do.💯💯

Marvin "Marvie Pooh" Pentz Gaye Jr. was truly a tortured genius. His faults and demons made me feel for him more. It was hard for him to live up to his legendary image but he left behind such a huge legacy that many artists in his time and afterwards STILL envy to this day some 36 years after his death. RIP Marvie Pooh. ❤

Marvin was a tortured soul. Jan is too, she just surviving it.

Sanctified “P” was recorded as “Sanctified Lady”...”some girls do and some girls don’t 🎵some girls will and some girls won’t”! 🎼🎵Heyyyy! Can I tell you I used to blast that song back in the day!🤣💃🏽😂🎼💃🏽

Michael was just a super savvy and smart business man. Plus,he wasn't on the pipe. Sorry Marvy poo,lol. Well, this book has made me feel a lot less sorry for Marvin than I did before,but it won't take away from his music. Good job,Nay 👍

MJ negotiated his own situation with BG. No Managers played a role. In fact his Managers didn't want him to participate and initially he turn them down. He was still harbouring bad feelinga after the split.

Good morning Nay Rob Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston did their thang. There version of The ⭐ Spangled Banner was & still is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 in 2020. I didn't know that either regarding his dad home in 1200 back then. Shout out to 1200 S.W. D.C. Continue Blessings 🙏 Much Love Nay Rob 😘 Be safe 🌏

Rickety James said the same thing that Jan said. Marvin said "Take care of her". Michael is Joseph and Katherine's son🙄. Michael said that "Billie Jean is about the groupies of his brothers"!

I'm a retired MTA operator in Los Angeles and one week prior to Marvin Gaye's death I was driving the 14 line I made a left turn onto Beverly Boulevard and Wilshire I happen to notice a black Continental with a black man just popping his fingers and just having a good time by yourself in the car I slow down and I noticed it was Marvin Gaye usually when I see celebrities I had nerve enough to jump off the bus chat with him for a minute to get back on the bus or if they put on the side of me like Richard Pryor Magic Johnson Denzel Washington Jim Brown Paul Winfield Howard Hughes have a conversation with them but on this day I just continued on my route because you look like you was really enjoying yourself and wanted to be alone following week April 1st Marvin Gaye made his transition Peace and Love

"Let me put my baby down" lmao

I was watching a documentary the other day about MJ. MJ refused to reunite with his brothers unless he was allowed to have his own set.

Once again you have done a phenomenal job of story telling. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us❣❣❣

It's funny how Marvin was scared of touring. Aretha Franklin didn't like touring and this was way before her flying phobia. I wish Marvin would've gotten help if not for himself but for his children.

Bravo Nay 👏 You have a Great storytelling style girl😊💖 Through this review you have made me LMAO during a Very difficult time 😔🙃😊🤭😄😃😅😂🤣📖📖📖💖

I think Marvin Gaye needed to stay over there in London and just keep his mind clear and away from drugs but when he came back over here to the states that's where the drug started and that's where it ended when he was on drugs and then that's when his daddy shot and killed him his father was twisted I think Marvin Gaye was just trapped

I love what you do Nat, please keep going, and I promise when I can pay more I will! I listen everyday like a morning show. Cant wait til the next book!

Why I thought that was a real baby 🤣🤣🤣

😍😍😍😍my New favorite you- tube channel! Im glad your parents blessed us! With that beauty!!!

Good morning beautiful! Thanks for the storytelling. Stay Safe! 💜

Thanks so much Nay for doing these! I'm going to contribute to the book club, you do a PHENOMENAL JOB ANNNNNNND I LOOOOOOOOVE THE GO GO INTRO'S! I'm from Baltimore so I'm used to hearing Go Go. 🥳🎊🎉

Excellent review Sis’....Thank you....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Sister girl I was a girl to and astounded with Marvin . I guess because my mom was and played everything the man had. Me not knowing the problems they were going through. Never even knew nun bout them kinds of drugs. Nothing about a pipe or none of that. Just was loving the music. Thanks for sharing my sister 👌🏾👍🏾♥️

Wonderful read...I found myself busting out 😹😹during a conference call listening to your reviews, 😹I’m a year late but I just found you during your reading of Aretha Franklin’s book😹 so I’m back tracking through yr RU-vid. I recall running down stairs when Philly WDAS announced MG death & my Momma thought I was joking 🙃.

We love you Marvie pooh 💙 he was a tormented soul but I will always love him for the gift he gave to us, his voice

Hey beautiful! I am now caught up this week...WHOU CHILE! #KeepGoing with this because I am loving these videos and the reenactments are always priceless...my daughter wanted me to tell you that she always laughs at your reviews because of your story telling abilities and that she loves when you do skits with the sloth lol. She has been watching your videos since the Rick James book review.

Hey Nay!!! Jan's story is yet another reminder that even if you're in a relationship with someone, who's footing the bills (whether famous or not), you 'bout better get yourself a job or some other means of financial support because "mad day" is def coming! I just wonder why it took Marvin to support his wife, his parents, his siblings, his managers, his friends, etc.? #WTF If he buys his siblings a house or car or whatever that's great but, they need to getta F'king job and take care of themselves. Bobby Brown suffered the same financial troubles with his family. He even had his wife, Whitney taking care of his parents, his children, his ex baby-muvas, his siblings, etc. When she stopped, suddenly she's the $itch!. All the #mellonFarmers need to get jobs! Jan, instead of sitting around waiting on Marvie-Poo to tell her how to put one foot in front of the other, should've been working and trying to take care of herself, if only for her own self esteem. Yes, men are supposed to take care of their churin and wife, but what if they don't? Do you just sit around and cry broke? No, get up and do something for yourself and move on from any deadbeat, Marvin Gaye or not!

Nay, You are hilarious with that bear😀😂

No matter what song Marvin Gaye sing or did not sing; he was not going to outdo Michael Jackson at the Motown 25 show.

Nay this has been another awesome day going through Jan and Marvins life thank you for being a great narrator on to the next I think it will be Rick James ❤️❤️❤️🥳

Another one well done nay!

Sis you are too crazy!!...I mean hilarious!!...I wish you could come to our family reunion..lol🤣🤣🤣

Can't wait to listen. Nice T-shirt! Be safe, all!

Still Love Marvin Gaye 💯🔥🙏🏽

I wonder if Marvin had the feel his death was going to be connected to his father, but he couldn't shake the feeling or couldn't make the connection. I still hate the father and son couldn't get along

I know how you feel, Nay.....when I finally started DIGGING in and doing the research about Marvin and who he TRULY WAS, I was basically devastated. It took me ALL THE WAY OUT that my 2nd favorite entertainer was who he was...but, we all have our journeys to take and this was his....😣😥

Thank you for this great read. I have really enjoyed it. Have you ever thought about reviewing The mother of black Hollywood by Jennifer Lewis.

Speechless LOL with your blanket you make my work day 👏🏾🙏🏽❤🙂

Love You NaY!!

Thanks Nay Rob this was a rollercoaster book. I was a baby when Marvin Gaye died so I only knew of him thru his music not his personal life. I just hope he's now resting in peace & Jan & her kids have their peace. Have u announced the next book yet?

Nay, none of us knew that Marvie Pooh, was a freak during his "Sexual Healing" Song!" It apparently it was an Autobiography! 😳🙄😳

Hey Nay❤️...my grandparents lived in 1200 before they passed away. I never knew you were originally from SW! Great video 👍🏽❤️❤️

He is our guy

Yo this whole story review is hilarious. Thank you

Wow I need to read that book!

Sanctifiiiied, sanctifiiied, sanctifiiiied...lady, lady.

In the book you said that they were walking backstage and Rick James told Marvin Gaye to take care of Jann. I think that Jann and Rickety James wasn't talkin. And then you said something like" of course Rickety James is going to take care of that 🐱. That is what I remember. I could be wrong. But I do remember you saying he's going to take care of🐱

Maybe Marvin gave his father the gun subconsciously if he beating his father. Marvin wanted his father to protect him self. Not just from him but from other people out in the streets. If he's walking around with rollers in his hair

Diana Ross at the end of Motown 40 when she talks about Marvin its sad. She seems to have loved Marvin and new his issues.

Sorry Hun, no one was touching MJ that night.

Good video nay I never knew that Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson were beefing I would hate to see that I like the both of them but have a blessed rest of your Thursday one love boo!!!😷😁😄😘💯👍✌❤💞💜💕💖🙏

Jan was totally out of control 🤬Her next victim was Rick James🤦🏾‍♀️

Love it

"Tormented Soul"

Rick hitting pipe too. 😆

Half cash and half coke? 🤣 We know now that these celebrities had traumatic lives but I do appreciate you telling their stories with love and humor. So talented, so beautiful, so heartbreaking and so powerful. We trap these sensitive muthahunchas in gilded cages and expect them to escape unscathed. It don't work like that.

MJ new what he was doing that is why and always will be the king of pop RIP love you baby!!!

They say Marvin gay had a girlfriend named Debora Decker living with him at his parents house and she was pregnant but because of the stuff going on in his house he moved her to appt I wonder if this is true .

What I dont get is how could she write such a book that her kids could see. To much info your daddy and mommy are a hot mess😔🥴😟🥺🙄🤕🤥🤩🤑

Aye S.W 4 life

Everytime I see door knocker earrings I think about all the whoopings my mama would lay on my black ass when I was young and she had a curly afro too. I caught a flashback everytime your earrings dangle.

After reading zeolas book it sounds like Jan was a straight up you know what she slept with people in his band also they were divorced when he took Anna Gaye too those parties .

Ms. Nay Rob u are so pretty

Marvin Gaye probably confused and on drugs to bad. I did some research that Marvin Gaye didn’t like Prince , he said it’s only one Prince ,But Marvin was the prince of Motown he was confused but he is still one of the greatest artists I ever heard.

Heavy Gratitude. Ps I am so grateful my mom left my pop's due to the coke smoke. Pps Marvin is my favorite singer. Music insiders said Sexual Healing was a complimentary grammy and he deserved it back when What's Going On was nominated. Ppps Martin sang live at The NBA All Star Game. I heard Whitney pre recorded and lip synched at the Super Bowl Pppps I had my demons and battles with alcohol and I sold party favors and consumed some party favors. Only difference between my dad and I is that I don't have any children. And we didn't consume the same party favors.

🌞🌻

What I can't understand if he loved Jan so much how comes he didn't get back with her when he came back to the states he came back in 82 but died in 84 and he was supposedly clean.

It was OSTENDE, BELGIUM that Marvin departed from for the US when his mother got ill wasn't it?

Enjoy your videos alot but this one you don't need the stuff animal prop. Keep up the good work!

It was the other way around.Marvin dad used to beat Marvin and his siblings.He was jealous of Marvin's success.

you can sing

So sad a great talent destroyed by drugs

It wasn't an All star game it was a championship finals game.

My thing is there both dead we will never hear their side beside talk about unionize our people????

Tell me someone MJ didn't beef with besides Prince

Marvin was a totally hooked on drugs and he was a monster and didn’t care who he was sleeping with.. Man or woman, transgender etc it’s always been this way..They all get screwing for beats, arranging etc a song..Marvin left a great catalog of hits..What’s going on needs to be playing on everyone’s car, etc because the world is back like it’s was decades ago..I forget the name of his other song to be playing, this man was wealthy and couldn’t pay his taxes. Inner city blues. I never like sexual healing at all and they all sell their souls for fame and fortune..They don’t get to really enjoy it because they knew the price they pay to achieve that level of fame..Nay you are a awesome story telling, keep doing u and you’re going to get the success you deserve..I like how honest you are about how much you make a monthly..Be blessed 🥲 and success will get better...
