Label Standoff: Motown head Berry Gordy initially refused to release the single, calling it too political; Gaye went on strike until it came out.
-
Family Ties: His father, a strict minister, physically abused him for years; that volatile relationship ended with Marvin shot by his father in 1984.
-
Political Science: Inspired by police brutality and Vietnam letters from his brother, Gaye shifted from romance to systemic critique at real commercial risk.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
