I Met a Little Girl
" I Met a Little Girl" is a song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye for his" Here, My Dear" album.
Recorded at his studio in 1976, the song chronicles the growth and demise of Gaye's marriage to his first wife Anna.
In a classic doo- wop style, Gaye croons in his falsetto about how he fell for Anna and how their love died out, chronicling the years between their wedding and their impending divorce.
At the end of the song, Gaye responds" Hallelujah, I'm free" in a dark and somber tone.
Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr.; April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer.
He helped to shape the sound of Motown in the 1960s, first as an in-house session player and later as a solo artist with a string of hits, earning him the nicknames "Prince of Motown" and "Prince of Soul".
Gaye's Motown hits include "Ain't That
PeculiarHow Sweet
It Is (To Be Loved By You)", and
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine", and duet recordings with Mary Wells, Kim Weston, Diana Ross, and Tammi Terrell.
During the 1970s, he recorded the albums "
What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On" and became one of the first artists in Motown, along with Stevie Wonder, to break away from the reins of a production company.
His later recordings influenced several contemporary R&B subgenres, such as quiet storm and neo soul.
Following a period in Europe as a tax exile in the early 1980s, he released the 1982 hit "Sexual Healing", which won him his first two Grammy Awards, and its parent album "Midnight Love".
Gaye's last television appearances were at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, where he sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and on "Soul Train" which was his third and final appearance.
On April 1, 1984, the day before his 45th birthday, Gaye's father, Marvin Gay Sr., fatally shot him at their house in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.
Many institutions have posthumously bestowed Gaye with awards and other honors including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and inductions into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Time to Get It Together
" Time to Get It Together" is a 1978 song recorded by Marvin Gaye and issued on Marvin's 1978 album," Here, My Dear".
Much like" Everybody Needs LoveAnger" and" A Funky Space Reincarnation", among others, this song does n't discuss the demise of Marvin's marriage to Anna Gordy Gaye.
Instead the song is a biographical account of the singer's own personal demons as he battled drug abuse, paranoia and depression.
When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You
" When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You" is a 1978 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye.
Taken from his" Here, My Dear" album, it was written following his 1976 divorce when he was ordered to give half the takings of his next album to ex-wife Anna Gaye.
In the album, he" poured his emotions into songs agonisingly documenting their relationship's rise and fall."
The song was a six- minute- long opus that has been considered the centerpiece of the" Here, My Dear" album.
As if offering confessional testimony to his wife, Gaye airs his side of the story of how his ill- fated marriage to the sister of his record label boss Berry Gordy collapsed.
In a spoken narrative, the singer accuses Anna in the beginning of not following their marriage vows, saying that lying about being faithful was similar to" lying to God".
He then blames himself as well for the death of the marriage, stating:" I tried but all of( our) promises( were) nothing but lies" and then promises himself if he finds someone else( his new wife Janis), he will try a new way.
But no matter how optimistic he seemed, he always reflected back on his marriage to Anna and how at one point, she called the cops on him for a domestic dispute.
The title is not spoken until the final verse, when Marvin croons in his trademark falsetto about where did the love go in their relationship.
Written and produced solely by the artist himself, the song was unusual for having no distinct melody, no bridge and no distinct chorus and for its length.
However, it did have near melodic consistencies, such as" Memories of the things we did/ Some we're proud of, some we hid If you loved me with all of your heart/ You'd never take a million dollars to part".
He would use the instrumental of this song as both an instrumental track( with several Gaye ad- libs) and as the reprise of the album to end it.
The song served as the template for Daryl Hall's song" Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You," from his 1993 solo album," Soul Alone."
After being played the song by a friend and thinking it was an unreleased bootleg, Hall reworked the tune as a standard- structured R&B/ pop song.

Falling in Love Again (Marvin Gaye song)
" Falling in Love Again" is a 1977 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye and issued on his 1978 album," Here, My Dear" album.
The song was another track on the personal album that did not discuss the demise of his first marriage.
Instead of Anna Gaye, the song talked of the other woman in Marvin's life.
Described in" You Can Leave, but It's Going to Cost You" as" that young girl", she was Janis Hunter, whom Gaye had married.
In a solemn but still certain tone, he wanted to be sure that this time his love for Janis will be what he had always wanted.
But as irony would have it, by the time of the album's release, Marvin and Janis' relationship was failing.
By the end of the album's promotion, Janis had split from the singer after nearly two years as a married couple.
They eventually divorced in February 1981.
This song was the last song on" Here, My Dear" with a reprise from the album's" theme songWhen Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You", playing soon afterwards putting the album to a close for good.
Here, My Dear (song)
"Here, My Dear" is a song written, composed and produced by American soul singer Marvin Gaye, issued on the album of the same name in 1978.
The song was a sort of introduction to the deeply confessional and post-divorce concept that gave a chronological look back at the tempestuous marriage between Marvin and first wife Anna.
The lyric, "You don't have the right to use a son of mine to keep me in line", became a memorable lyric for fans of Gaye and very much was a lyric attacking Anna for demanding alimony and child support payments to support then-twelve-year-old Marvin, III.
Marvin then sarcastically told his wife that he dedicated the album to her but warned that she might "not be happy" and telling Anna "this is what you wanted" making a reference to the judge in their divorce case to give up royalties from this album to Anna.
The song's musical background would be used for the song "
Everybody Needs Love" from this album.

You Can Leave, but It's Going to Cost You
" You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You" is a funk- styled song recorded by Marvin Gaye and featured on his" Here, My Dear" album, when released in 1978.
The song returns the subject of the album back to the demise of the singer's marriage to Anna Gordy Gaye as in this song he discusses a specific day in which the couple argued while at Anna's sister Gwen's house desperately trying to make amends.
Marvin discusses that the couple got so mad to the point that they had sex afterwards with Marvin later stating" after all( Anna) was( his) wife".
He then discusses parts of the court case and how, he says, Anna and her attorneys were doing their best to cause Marvin monetary damage, almost closing in on the singer's home, and in his opinion, his eldest son Marvin III.
Before the song ends, Marvin brings in humorous irony in which he explains Anna talking about him on the witness stand.
