Marvin Gaye - Behind the Legend

Rating:
Summary: Poorly made video
Review: I would not recommend this video to people who want to learn about Marvin Gaye. They give vague references to the events that happened throughout his life, and if I had not read his biography by David Ritz I would have not known what was going on at all. They hardly even touch on his death, and his final years. It left me wanting to hear more from his wife and children, but I guess it must be tough subject to discuss.
That said, the tape provides some rare video footage of Marvin. There is very little of Marvin on tape in the first place, so each second is precious. The live performance of Sexual Healing is something I had been eager to watch and it did not disappoint, except they kept interupting it and speaking. Also, it says on the cover of the tape "Special Bonus: Let's get it on", but at the end there was only a live performance of "Whats going on". Nothing major, but it would be nice to see him sing lets get it on.

Excuse the cliche, but this is a must have for die hard fans, but not for the casual fan.

Review: I'm a huge fan of Marvin Gaye and his music. But...i was dissapointed by the way they Try to down David Ritz..
David had did a excellent job on Marvin's biography. He had captured the very last years of his life. i continued to read this book for 18 years now, and i'm still learning from it... ..This book by Marvin and David is like music bible. it is so detailed, more i can say about this B.S. DVD!!!!

Review: Marvin Gaye: Behind the Legend (2000) Was excellent at the least. We got to see the softer, more vulnerable side of Marvin. We get to hear from the hearts of his own family the sort of person he actually was. We finally get to see and hear the woman that was the object of both his obsession and inspiration. We get to see where he was and what he was doing during his self-imposed exile. Finally, we got treated to 'Sexual Healing' during his last tour. The Best.

Review: Poor video quality. The best part is the concert under bonus, where he proform, Let's get it on & some Medley's. Other than that very poor quality. But if you are like me I love Marvin so I had to have it.
