EP 5: Two Classic R&B Artists. One you know and one you probably don't but should. Marvin Gaye and David Porter

Marvin Gaye is certainly a well known Motown star. You may know a bit about the tragic story of his life and death. But you probably do not know all the details and the struggles he went through. Nor the vast catalogue of his many hit records. Add to that all the changes Gaye’s music went through as American society changed in the 1960s and 1970s.  And I bet you have never heard any of R&B singer David Porter’s albums on Stax records. Which is amazing because you no doubt do know his songs. But the man could do much more — he could turn bubble gum into soul! We look at exclusive releases of a classic David Porter from Vinyl Me Please and a new release of a complication of Marvin Gaye’s best sellers from Target
