Default 1980 Marvin Gaye's Bass Player Took the Master Tapes to LA



Berry Gordy contacted him (Frank Blair)
told him he would be paid in cash
if he took a London to LA flight with the Master Tapes.

Marvin had one track Far Cry
that was not finished, so he refused to let Motown
have the Master tapes.

He said at the time to UK press
if you had a Classic Painting you would not start
Removing bits of it.

Marvin Gaye in year 1981
In Our Lifetime?
was released

As a result Marvin then left Motown
Joining CBS (now Sony)
with his mega hit Sexual Healing 1982 Hit

But by 1984 April
He was sadly dead
from Gunshot wounds to his chest
from his crazy dad

Taken from a book
