You probably wouldn't believe me but apparently Gordon Banks is wanting to bring a taped concert of Marvin Gaye to a national distributor if a deal with NBC Universal falls through. Gordon e-mailed me to tell those I know about this concert, one of the last concerts he did before his fatal 1984 death. He's for real because he gave me a sneak peek of another recording of the "Star-Spangled Banner" that they did the day before Marvin performed it at the NBA All-Star Game. Anyway, just letting you know that Marvin's brother-in-law and the co-genius behind Marvin's "Midnight Love" and the guitarist on his last four studio albums just e-mailed me. But he wanted me to get this info out so spread the news, please.

But in hindsight it's not much different from the one Marvin actually performed.

This is the latest topic dealing with Marvin?! tsk tsk. BTW I had some correspondence with Mr. Banks as well. Sadly it seems there's a lot of rights issues with the video unfortunately I do hope it gets some kind of release. It's probably the last Holy Grail in the MPG ouevre (sp?) as we've LOVE MAN released (well as much as was still around)

Not surprised there ((mpgfan))...seems to me like Marvin's family are working on preserving certain things but are not woking together on matters...

You can say the same things about the movies, at least one of them anyway.
