Friday YouTube Nugget

For this week's installment, I decided to go in the wayback machine to a live performance from Marvin Gaye in Montreaux in 1980. The man still had those golden pipes, but already had the look of a crazed coke fiend. Sad the think that a scant four years after this performance, he would be shot by his own father in the midst of a drug-fueled rampage. In any case, enjoy "Got To Give It Up"

RIP Marvin Gaye - the greatest male vocalist there ever was.

P.S. - I love how Marvin makes the geek MC introduce him 5 or 6 times.
P.P.S. - Dig the chick in the back rockin' the afro. MORE COWBELL.
