1965

AIN'T THAT PECULIAR * MARVIN GAYE * TAMLA 54122 * USA

After singing with The Rainbows and The Marquees in and around Chicago, Marvin Gaye moved to Detroit with Harvey Fuqua (formerly of the Moonglows) and worked with him for the Anna label as a session singer and drummer. He cut his first record (a lemon, in his own words) for Berry Gordy, who booked him as a Jazz vocalist in 1961, by the time of the above Marvin Gaye was an international Soul star.
