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, 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 when you go from one extreme to another, I think
And insofar as clothesโI think it keeps you, it keeps a person happy
Because who wants to wear Levi's all the time or something, you know?
Or just a plain black drab suit 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 records
One of mine?
Yeah, which one? Which one do you like the best?
I like "Little Darling (I Need You)", funny you ask it like that
Why do you like it?
I think that "Little Darling" to me, when I hear "Little Darling" played
There's something in the grooves
There's something that comes out of the loudspeakerโspeakers
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, um, uh, Ray Charles, whom I think is great
And, uh, 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!
And Marvin, how do you like living in Detroit?
I love Detroit, it, it's a very cordial town
And, and quite peaceful and restful
Nothing at all like New York
I'd like to thank Marvin Gaye 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
