On what I still consider the foulest and most cruel April fools day ever was when I heard that Marvin Gaye had been gunned down by his very own father. Marvin Gay Sr. slew his son on this day back in 1984 and it was the news that shocked and rocked the world. I think this song,
Piece of Clay is so amazingly fitting since it was senior who wanted junior to be his own piece of clay. May you continue to rest in peace Marvin, and know you have not been forgotten and remain forever in our hearts.
