Marvin Gaye, Loraine Alterman - Loraine Alterman Interviews Marvin Gaye for Teen Beat readers lyrics

Hi, this is Loraine Alterman
Free Press teen editor
And today I'm talking to Marvin Gaye marvin
How are you?

Well, I'm pretty fine today

What do you think about teenagers and their
Clothes and their fads? Like, say
Mod clothes and wild things
Like this long hair

I think, I think if they want to wear
Mod and everything, I think that's groovy
Really i, in fact, I mod clothes, I
Think it's something, it, it, it keeps
It when you wear Mod clothes or
Go from one extreme to another, I
Think―and clothes―I think it keeps you
It keeps a person happy who
Wants to wear Levi's all the time, you know
Or just a plain black dress or something
You know i think it's good

Tell me Marvin, what's, what's the favorite
Your favorite record? Your own
Your own record

One of mine?

Yeah, which one which one do
You like the best?

I like "Little Darling
(I Need You) ", funny like that

Why do you like it?

I think that "Little Darling" to me
When I hear "Little Darling" play there's
Something in the grooves
There's something that
Comes out of the speaker―speakers―that uh
That strikes
Me as a feeling, as a, as a, as a
As a sound that
Has a sort of a yearning type
Of lonely, melancholy feeling and, it
It's just become my favorite

Marvin, who's your favorite singer?

Well, I have several there's Frank
Sinatra there's, uhm, uh
Ray Charles, whom I think is great i, I'm
I particularly like The Beatles

Tell me, if you weren't a singer
What would you like to be?

I think I'd like to be an, an airlines pilot

What advice would you give someone who
Wants to become a singer

Don't do it, haha

And Marvin
How do you like living in Detroit?

I love Detroit, it, it's a very cordial town
And peaceful and restful nothing at
All like New York

I'd like to thank Marvin for
Being with us today
And I wanna remind all of you that
You can read interviews like this on the Teen
Beat page in the Free Press every Friday
Along with stories of interest
To all teenagers
