Gaye, Marvin. (1939–1984)

Signed Photograph

Signed photograph of the popular soul and R&B singer-songwriter who was one of Motown’s most successful artists during that label’s heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, recording such hits as “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.” A day before his 45th birthday, Gaye was shot and killed by his father during an argument over a business matter.

Small format (2.5 x 3.5 inch) promotional Barry Gordy management photograph, signed and inscribed "To Valerie Love Ya Always Marvin Gaye." The photograph is worn, with numerous dings and surface wrinkles, but the autograph is clear and it is nevertheless a true rarity. (7969)
