A tribute to a True Soul legend

gaye-early-80s-REX_2863899bOn the 27th of November, a tribute to Marvin Gaye will take place at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown. It brings together Australia’s most prominent soul, percussion and jazz artists on a single stage to guarantee an extravaganza of rich performances of Marvin’s most memorable hits.

This 2-hour extravaganza will feature a 15-piece American/ Australian Al-star line-up, taking you on a journey through the smooth and unforgettable sounds of soul, paying tribute to one of the most incredible talents in the history of the Motown era. The Marvin Gaye Experience is an event the true music lover can’t afford to miss!

As one of the pioneers of Motown, singer-songwriter and producer Marvin Gaye helped shape the sound of soul music and is considered one of the greatest artists of all time.

Marvin Gaye was one of the most consistent and enigmatic of the Motown hitmakers, with a career that exemplified the maturation of black pop and soul into a sophisticated form spanning social and sexual politics. Blessed with a mellifluous tenor and a three-octave vocal range, Gaye was among the most gifted composers and singers of his era.

Gaye’s moodiness contributed to his legend: He regularly avoided TV, rarely performing live, and sometimes not showing up for the few concerts he did schedule. But from “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)” to “Heard It Through the Grapevine,” “What’s Going On” to “Sexual Healing,” Gaye sang some of the most memorable pop and soul of all time. He was nominated for eight Grammys before winning one in 1983.

Moving from lean, powerful R&B to stylish, sophisticated soul to finally arrive at an intensely political and personal form of artistic self-expression, his work not only redefined soul music as a creative force but also expanded its impact as an agent for social change.

This year marks the 30th year of Marvin’s tragic death
