What's Going On的评论 5
Marvin Gaye 的 "Mercy Mercy Me" 是我第一次听到他的歌曲，是个汽车广告，那时候还是初中时代的我只是觉得曲调很轻鬆、很好听，带著点伤愁的曲子。后来，问了很多人都不知道这首歌是谁的曲子，好像过了几年吧，才找到答案。才知道这个熟悉的名字在我开始著迷西方流行音乐的第一年就已经听过了，那时候倒是没有听到他的歌曲，只听到很多艺人献给他的曲子，像是 The Commodores, Diana Ross....
Motown 把他塑造成情歌王子的形象，让他在 60 年代非常有名气，来听听他这时期的歌曲：How sweet it is (to be loved by you)
Mavrin Gaye 本名真是 "Gay"，为了怕误会，才改做 "Gaye"。他的父亲是圣灵降临教派的牧师，这个背景让他一直是个虔诚的教徒，但是他的家庭却非常的乱，他自己也一直在性爱和信仰中挣扎，他发现音乐可以让他宣泄挣扎的痛苦，可想而知音乐对他的重要性。他父亲儘管是个牧师，也是个酒鬼，他的叔叔还性侵他.... 种种的背景都让我们对他在音乐上的成就感觉到不惊奇，因为内心痛苦的挣扎正是天才能发挥天分的必要条件。
越战爆发，美国内外都处在相当不安的状态中，那时候他很热情地想用他的音乐来感化大眾，让世界回归到爱而非战争。他制作了他的单曲 "What's going on"，Motown 的老闆当然不愿意发行这样的单曲，这无疑是把他多年经营的情歌王子形象给毁了；Gaye 为此也向他抗争，他说如果不发行这一首单曲的话，他就拒绝继续为 Motown 录制音乐。到了1971 年 1 月，Motown 悄悄地发行这首单曲，竟然一跃上了排行榜冠军，当然这一张专辑也就因此被允许录制、诞生了。
专辑封面的 Marvin Gaye 变成一个诗人的形象，为大自然忧心，为人类生存的环境忧心，为种族、国家的争斗忧心..... 听过这首 "What's going on" 之后，我们也不难发现同一张专辑里面的 "Mercy Mercy Me" 也是首关心大自然被污染的歌曲，这样就明白了为什么上面的 MV 是这样拍的主题。挺讽刺的，被拿来当汽车的广告曲!!
之后他带他母亲到欧洲去静养，那段时间是他的生活中最平静的一段日子，再回到美国后，1982 年发行了也算成功的 "Sexual Healing" ，但是他却开始把钱砸在毒品上，可想而知这个情感特别敏感的人在他的生活、在他的内心有多少的衝突、挣扎依然纠缠著他。
1984年4 月 1 日早晨，他醉酒的父亲打他的妈妈，Gaye 因此和他的父亲发生激烈的争吵，然后他父亲拿起 Gaye 给他防身的喷子，结束了 Gaye 痛苦挣扎又灿烂受人爱戴的一生。隔天是 Gaye 45 岁生日，乐坛一时发行了不少单曲纪念 Gaye，那一年我刚刚迷上西洋流行音乐，记得余光连续二个星期都介绍纪念他的曲子，因此听到了不少歌，像是 The Commodores, Diana Ross....

Brother, Brother, Brother...

Format: Audio CD
In 1971 I lived in a very well integrated neighborhood. We had the Romants who were Puerto Rican who lived a few doors down from us, the Sakai's, who were Japanesese, lived next door to the Jones and the Jones who were a black family lived next door to us. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were my mom and dad's best friends'. we did everything together. I'm sure we got stared at quite a bit because I guess there were still a few people who couldn't handle seeing black and white people being friendly with each other and even letting their children play with each other. I can assure you, none of us were hurt in the process. In fact, we learned a real "silly thing". We learned that all people are pretty much the same. That no matter what you may look on the outside, your soul still looks the same to God who made you out of "His" Colorless Self...because as my mother would say, Love has no color...
But anyway, flashing back to 1971, we were at a barbecue at the Jones' house, and Alicia, their oldest daughter, who was 15 at the time (and who I had a mad crush on)came out of the house wearing this pretty yellow sundress and holding this record. She carefully took it out of its cover and put it on. I just remember it getting very, very quiet. It was like each and every song took our breath away. I remember after the record played, Alicia wanted to play it again, and Mrs. Jones wiped a few tears from her eyes simply said, "Another time, dear...another time..."
This album is heavy. It's not party music. It really makes you think and feel about your place in the world. We have become such a plastic coated society. It is like we are numb to everything that is going on in the world. Oh, I see North Korea has a nuclear weapon that they want to test, ho-hum...pass the butter...WHAT? PARIS HILTON GOT ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING! OH, THE INHUMANITY! It's a weird world in which we live in. There are somedays I am just thrilled to the bone to be a part of such a lovely world and then there are other days when I just want to stick my head in the sand.
I consider Marvin Gaye a prophet, a very unlikely prophet, but if you really think about it, all the truly great people didn't look like they would amount to much, at the time..."Oh, you didn't invite that Jesus kid from Nazareth over, did you? He's always making the water taste funny..." But Marvin sang about what we all wanted to sing about. He talked about the war, about the ecology, about people that felt oppressed and lost and confused and I don't think he was just singing to people of his own race, I think he was singing to all of us.
This record will be 36 years old in 2007 and it is still just as relevant. And even though I haven't lived in that old neighborhood of mine in years, I still feel very lucky that I lived in a "world" where I was exposed to different ideas, different beliefs, different ways of being in the world because it just makes me realize that the only thjing that we all have in common is that we are all so diverse and it's a beautiful thing.
Peace and Blessings
滚石杂誌选出「史上经典歌手」第6名、「史上百位伟大艺人」第18位的首席灵韵大使
蝉联节奏蓝调专辑榜9週冠军，入列滚石杂誌「史上五百张经典专辑」第6名，Q杂誌+滚石杂誌+芝加哥论坛报+ AMG + The Observer + Uncut满分高评
行家珍稀收藏版，特蒐“What’s Going On”三种版本、首度曝光现场收音，“Sixties Medley”精彩串联9首60年代经典作
2008年滚石杂誌选出「史上经典歌手」第6名、「史上百位伟大艺人」第18位、入主摇滚名人殿堂终身会员、孕育优秀黑人音乐及杰出创作者最重要的温床-Motown Records(摩城唱片)旗下首席情歌王子，享年44岁的不朽大师Marvin Gaye，从围绕情爱主轴的动人曲式到发人省思之社会议题，无不在他詮释之下刻划出一道道深刻记痕。不仅缔造节奏蓝调榜13首冠军单曲、6张Top10专辑纪录，成为乐迷手中不可或缺的宝典，更为后起新秀开出此一乐种之模范，在乐界遗留无法磨灭的成功纪录。
出生在一个严厉基督教家庭的Marvin，父亲是位神职人员，三岁便在教堂诗歌班中担任独唱，由於父亲生性保守，Marvin从小就在教鞭下长大。高中毕业即加入美国空军，退伍后回到老家华盛顿，仍未忘情歌唱，在当地乐团担任主音且四处献艺。1961年进入摩城唱片展开璀璨的音乐生涯，1984年4月1日，就在45 岁生日的前一天，因与父亲发生激烈争吵，衝突之下竟遭到父亲枪击，终结了Marvin传奇的一生。
这张於1971年写下Marvin於流行音乐史上重要地位的经典专辑【What’s Going On】，出版前曾遭摩城唱片老闆Berry Gordy阻挠，原因是内容针对美国药物氾滥、政治腐败、还有越战等敏感议题，唱出尖锐并正中要害的看法，这与当时著重於男欢女爱的主题背道而驰。后来还是证明这张唱片禁得起时间的考验，不仅蝉联节奏蓝调榜9週冠军，更列入滚石杂誌「史上五百张经典专辑」第6名，是所有黑人音乐专辑中名次最高的作品，也是第一张概念作品，就连AMG专业网站+芝加哥论坛报+The Observer+Q杂誌+滚石杂誌+Uncut都送上满分高评推崇！此张行家珍稀收藏版，除了保留原始专辑中的几首歌曲，和同名主打“What’s Going On”的3个版本之外，大部份皆为首度曝光的珍稀现场收音，其中开场的“Sixties Medley”长达13分23秒，精彩串联起9首60年代的经典作品，同时体验Marvin现场的即兴演出，以及绝对的醇美灵韵。
