MARVIN GAYE - GAYE'S SISTER TO PUT AN END TO MURDER MYSTERY WITH NEW BOOK
Singer MARVIN GAYE's sister is set to tell all about the late soul legend in her new book MY BROTHER MARVIN - in which she hopes to end the mystery surrounding his death. Zeola Gaye claims her tome reveals everything about his private life during his rise to international fame in the 1960s and 1970s, right through to his split from Motown Records in the 1980s, and his self-imposed exile in Europe. She says, "It's a tell-all book that will basically reveal everything that anybody has ever wondered as far as my family. I'm speaking of my mother, father, my sister and my brother, and my life with Marvin." And Zeola still insists on paying tribute to her brother every year on the day of his birth. She says, "I like to say it's a celebration of his life. Since his birthday was the 2nd, I tend to try to let 1 April just slide past me. And on 2 April we celebrate his birthday." Gaye died in April 1984 - one day before his 45th birthday (02Apr84) - when he was shot and killed by his father following an argument. The book is due to be released later this year (08) to mark the 24th anniversary of the star's death.

Zeola Gaye should be commended for having the courage to tell the truth surrounding
her brother's mysterious demise. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie biop of
my favorite star,Marvin P. Gaye. This project is long over due and it's time that
Marvin is heralded for his contributions not only to the music world, but he opened our
eyes thirty-seven years ago about the state of our planet and what it's inhabitants
were doing to it and to each other. Marvin was and still is our Shakespeare of the
times in which we live. God Bless you, Marvin
