No 3 - Purple Snowflakes - Marvin Gaye

Beautiful Marvin. Soul God, Social Concience.

1981.
Beautiful Marvin plays darts in an Ostend bar, his wilderness years.

1964.
Marvin sings for The Motown Christmas album. Purple Snowflakes swirl around a piano cascade, snowflakes swirl around Marvin and his love, safe inside. Chestnuts roasting. She warms Marvins heart.
Marvin melts ours with a deft touch, a voice quietly celebrating all that's right with the world.

Purple Snowflakes, not Blue.
