#MarvinGaye - my favorite musical artist of all time - was born 85 years ago today (April 2, 1939).

Gifted, flawed, spiritual, tormented, beautiful...

Caption reposted from @nmaahc What's a Marvin Gaye song that speaks to you?

#OnThisDay in 1939, singer Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. was born. The Washington, D.C. native developed an early love of music through the church, and by the 1960s came to be known as the #PrinceofSoul.

The son of a Hebrew Pentecostal minister, it was the Pentecostal Church that served as the context of his faith formation and creative musical genius. Gaye mastered the piano and drums as a child and caught the attention of Motown founder Berry Gordy, who hired him as a session drummer for the label working on songs for Stevie Wonder and The Supremes. Under the label, Gaye would enjoy a steady string of hits including “Stubborn Kinda Fellow” (1962), “I’ll Be Doggone” (1965), and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (1968). As a major Motown artist, Gaye is credited as one of the sonic architects responsible for creating the label’s distinctive sound.

Described by Ebony as “intensely spiritual, almost mystical,” and seemingly in “pursuit of some ethereal other world” because of his preoccupation with religion and sexuality, Marvin Gaye’s artistry further complicated conventional notions of the holy and the profane. Alongside the strong religious and sexual sensibilities evidenced in later songs such as “Sexual Healing,” “Sanctified Lady,” and “Let’s Get It On,” Gaye’s 11th album, What’s Going On, is acclaimed for the socially conscious quality of his lyrical content. Themes explored on the album include an anti-war critique, ecology, love, sensuality, and community, all informed by his formative Hebraic-Pentecostal worldview.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture recently launched an online portal for their design collection. https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/collection/design

Design collections at NMAAHC encompass graphic design, furniture design, fashion design, and architectural design, among other fields. The impact of African Americans in design is reflected in American material culture and the built environment we experience today.

My baby Revision Path is a part of the collection -- the first podcast to be in the Smithsonian's archives. (There's a pretty dope bio of me too.)
